So yea. On just about every account I have, I rant about the school I go to, which happens to be a Catholic school. But right now, I'm not in a ranting mood. So I'm just gonna try to clear up some common misconceptions about Catholic schools (at least the one I go to).

1.)We pay for almost _everything_.Tution is a b*tch, we have to pay for our own text books, we have to buy expensive,uncomfortable, cheaply made uniforms, most equipment is sorely out dated, and the school could fall apart at any second.

2.)Not everyone here is rich, preppy, or Christian.We get a couple of different reilgions other than Christianity: Seeks, Muslims, Atheists. And a lot of the students have financial problems. And while there may be some people who are preppy, its like any other highschool with cliques and the same,if not more, problems.

3.)Less class options. The other day when talking to my older cousing (who went to a public school) I realized how many classes and activites our school was lacking. We do not have German, or Home ec, or World religion. No we just have the core classes, a couple of P.E classes, and some Art classes.

4.) Less Extra Curricular options.Due to the fact that our school is so small, we have no pool, and have to borrow a local colledge's. Our teams that play in some sort of field have much less room along with our basketball court that reaches the bare minimum. And due to lack of people, we dont have enough to put together some sports teams. Water polo is not a sports option at our scool because there arent enough people willing to play it. No girls football team. The cheer squad only has a few people to choose from.

5.) Theatre. As a theatre geek I know how absolutely tiny our pathetic excuse for a stage is. (just mesagge me if you want to know more details in comparison to a public schools). we have almost no sponsors to help us out, and our props are mostly just junk that we quickly painted over (and badly).We have a low-tech sound and light board and our auditorium can hold maybe 500 people.

I'll stop here because I'm getting tired, and my hands are cramping up.But I shall continue this list another day!
