[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a small Southern town.  Today, my HS is 75% FARMs.  My HS offered 2 AP classes: Lit and Calc AB. My year, I was the only student to pass either one. By senior year, I was driving to the community college for classes because my HS was out— 45 minutes each way during the school day.

More kids enlisted than went to a 4 year college, and no one in my graduating class left the state for college. The level of instruction was very, very poor.

DH had the same experience at a different HS in a different small town.

Why in the world would we want our kids in one if these environments. [/quote]

Omg, are you me?  I’m from Florida for what it’s worth. Though my CC was closer (but we did have kids driving from further schools) [/quote]

I’m the first poster. Plus, the small town was insular, easiest and homophobic AF, made most decisions based on a Southern Baptist interpretation of the Bible, had no restraints with “fur-in” (foreign) foods and no culture whatsoever. And somehow managed to go even further downhill as manufacturing was off-shored.

Really— not the utopia you think it is, unless you are mediocre white male with a degree from a third tier medical, dental or law school and can be king of the hill. Or are married to such a man and willing to be ruled by his whims in all things in return for a little bit of social cachet. [/quote]
