bus in the trash

Up in my area they’re looking to do the same thing with Highlands High School, sending half to Freeport and the other half to Valley.
East Allegheny trying to sue so that Duquesne kids cant come there, cuz they dont want the trash from that school lol
Doesnt look like Duquesne gonna be a powerhouse in single A anymore haha
rendell is going to give $$ to both high schools to except them…then give $$ to Duqe. to add more classes??? :dunno:
Um…why not just give duq. High the money to build their school dist?? Add the classes they need to excel and provide for more teachers?
cuz the only thing duq excels in is sports
Bussing trash into schoold FTMFL…my HS they bussed in all the idiots from the Hill and hazlewood…kinda interesting stat for my school our freshman class was about 450-460 and out grad class was like 230 or so…idiots
stop crying. better they go to school with people like that now so they don’t go into culture shock when they get into the real world. the US has turned into a giant ghetto anyway. i often stereotype but give the kids a chance, its not their fault they grew up poor in the Hood. stop actin like some mt lebanon “not in my neighborhood” cunts bags.
this is the attitude i dont like…why should someone that buys a house for the school and pay x amount for taxes suffer
i am in the market looking for a house. #1 on my list is the school.
so all in all with something like this happeing is going to drag those districts down
Waste Mifflin is going down anyways. This has been rumored for YEARS but will finally come true.
And also, who said something about Highlands getting split between Freeport and Valley? Why would that happen? Also, Highlands kids going to Valley would build up that district. Freeport is a little more rural, but it wouldn’t hurt to get kids from Highlands. But come on, Natrona Heights has a pretty good tax base, I highly doubt they are going to pull a Duquesne.
you can’t shelter your kids from reality. if you raise them right they’ll probably turn out good. but dont kid urself… suburban schools are full of drugs. you just hear about the ghetto cause its good TV.
bsides how much can duquesne students affect a school… there was like what 75 boys in that school.
once you grow up and get a life you will understand the big fuss. I live in west mifflin and my kids will not go to the school. I will most likely move in the next few years, but if not it’s either home school or a private school.
Sheltering is one thing, putting your “nice” kids into a school with a bunch of “bad” kids is just stupid. Your “nice” kids will not be any tougher or be in culture shock when they get into the workforce because the trash will not be in the workforce.
I see what you are saying about giving kids a chance, but just don’t give them a chance around my kids. Keep the trash with the trash and let the people that actually work and pay taxes have a decent school. It’s stupid to take a nice school and turn it into shit. This happened to Baldwin, it was nice until section 8 took over the baldwin court apartments and let all of that shit into the school.
baldwin court apts…what ones are those. i grew up in that area for a while.
you do not mean prospect park do ya
that’s not to great either. baldwin courts are off of lebanon church, by jefferson cemetery.
I heard it was sold to someone who will not let section 8/hud be in there anymore - that should be very good for baldwin and surrounding areas.
I understand your point but I almost resent that…I grew up in Sharpsburgh and went to Fox Chapel. talk about Culture Shock in your own back yard!
It was tough as hell growing up and going to a yuppy school dist. I moved out of there in 7th grade and grad. from Shaler High. Most of the kids were all middle class familys…but I go so much sh*t bc I was from “Fox Chapel” My parent didnt have a dime to their name bc they drank it away…but myself, brother, and sister did damn good in school.
We learned both sides of the totum pole…the wealthy and the sect. 8 side…we learned to respect both. By no means is it a childs fault bc their parents are money pits who act like they are better than the world or whos parents work 12 hours day to put oodles of noodles on the dinner table.
Its attidudes like that that create our segregation in schools. If a child is not challenged he is not taught.
By keeping these kids from having a better education…you are making them what they are.
I dont go to school anymore, neither does my brother and sister…and nor do we have children that do…but I am forced to pay taxes on those that do, therefore I would want my money to do the best for those children that can or can not afford it same as if someone esle who did not have children would be paying for mine!!!
grow up and get a life? yeah grouping every kid as trash because they are poor and black is really responsible. I rooted for duq…those kids dont got shit, they are dirt poor. And yeah some of them probably do sell drugs but they got a right to go to school regarless of where it is just like all the kids that are from better families. If i’m imature for tryin to see some light in it, then so be it.
But let me tell you experience in high school. i went to private school as everyone knows. I had some of the richest kids in this area in my class and i had poor kids as well. i had white and black. the white rich kids from fox chapel were not better acting than the poor black kids from wilkinsburg. infact the worst drug offenders were the rich snobby white kids. They didnt have to worry about wasting the day away because it wasn’t a big sacrifice for their parents to shell out 5,000 a year. the poor kids had to clean up the cafeteria so they could get a tuition reduction and they seemed to make the most of the oppurtunity.
a lot of the “trash” you speak of is not as dumb as you think. dont you think some of those kids look at this as an oppurtunity to make the best of their chance at a good school? i’m by no means a bleading heart but when you live in a place that you grew up with guns and drugs and violence, the last thing you need is some snotty whiners tellin you that you are trash and have no place next to their kids.
I live close to them…that is the word around here too…i hope it is true…that way when I sell my property value will go up.
sect 8 is for peopel who need it!
Are their plenty of people who abuse it…of course!!! But it goes for the same people who abuse the school dist…who live and pay taxes in shaler…but use daddys address in N Agh just to go to that school.
It works both ways!
This generation is gonna go to sh*t if someone doesnt step up and educate our children no matter of race, color, or property
I see both views…I went to a ghetto ass high school with waste of lives from the Hill and hazlewood…so I delt with those assholes. I also have a ton of friends that went to “nicer/better” schools and didnt have to deal with the trash. I do see somewhat of a culture shock with some of my friends. Bit overall 77reddickhooptytruck is spot on…when it comes to your kids I don’t want any idiots around my kids. I realize that there are a lot of drugs in school districs with $$ but i have the view if I raise my kids well then they will hopfully pick good friends and not get into all that shit. If they go to a ghetto ass school then I have to worry about drugs AND these fuckin animal waste of lives fucking with my kids. Just my view on it
do you not realize we live in pissburgh? we have it easy…if you want to complain move to another city…bet it’s cost of living won’t be nearly as low as ours.
and as far as sect 8 ya it’s for those who need it and people do abuse it…welcome to AMERICA!
watch it asshole:spank: :wtcslap: :embarassd
