Geez... it's been roughly 15 years since I was in high school (and I guess the problems have just gotten worse). I don't recall any incidents as extreme as some that I'm reading on the board, but the school administration/ teachers were completely useless (as were my parents). The %@%^%# I went thru are still echoing thru my life now - I really can sympathize and empathize with all of you who are still in high school.
In response to this prev. post (and its last sentence), I highly recommend for anyone interested to read "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand - in it, the bugaboo is communism/socialism, but that doesn't really matter. The core theme is what really matters - the value of free thinkers and how society depends upon them, yet supresses them.
