Woodstock North High School

AP! AP! AP! the school needs to set their priorities straight. the AP program is a joke. guidance is ordered to push as many kids into AP classes as humanely possible regardless of whether or not the student really wants to/belongs in there . also, if you wanna drop an AP class, you need to schedule a meeting with the principal. it's a last ditch effort to keep you in the class you wanna drop. the AP program stresses the shit out of kids, and ultimately leads to less participation from the student that was assigned to an AP class against his will as his/her high school years go on. they like to say "oh don't take 5 AP classes it's too much" but that's exactly what they want from those top students that think they're capable of keeping up with that many AP classes. no exceptions are granted to those taking 3+ AP classes - still gotta sit down with the principal, have your parents sign some bullshit, talk to the teacher who's teaching the AP class you wanna drop... it's disgusting. the front office is full of power-hungry staff members looking to get the principal job. so much ass kissing, so many phonies, it's remarkable. the school isn't terrible though. the staff is pretty damn good, the student body seems to gradually become more involved in school activities, there's actually some color within school walls now... outdated rules and shady politics seem to be the big issues here. so much potential, i hope it's eventually fulfilled.
