Why do the good kids have to avoid the first floor? What happens in the lunch room?

PP didn't say anything about "good kids" and bad kids. But Blair is extremely overcrowded, which means the lunch area is also extremely crowded.

If you have brought your lunch from home, it doesn't make sense to head into a sea of humanity.[/quote]

Umm no. The PP specifically said that kids learn what areas to avoid and that kids avoid the first floor and lunch room. I have heard other parents with high school kids at Blair mention things like this. It always sounds weird to me that there are areas to "avoid" like a dark alley at night on a walk home or something. [/quote]

At my all-white/Asian UMC high school (not in MD), us nerds avoided the "jock" hallways because you'd get teased, harassed, or worse. High school has always been like this. I guarantee there are areas of just about any school that kids avoid if they're not part of a certain group. Sometimes it's as simple as just not wanting to hang out somewhere you don't feel like you fit in, sometimes you're definitely made to feel unwelcome.

But there's nothing any of the PPs said (or anything I've ever heard) that suggests it's actually *dangerous* to sit in the lunch room at Blair, as you imply here.. [/quote]
