bridges

i decided to make my own post on the topic of bridges, after danny did. ok.

CONS: first off, the new daily program sounds horribly bad. i want CLASSES. not a time where i can think of how to better the community. that's terrible, and that in itself makes me not want to go. yikes. secondly, the language, music, and art programs are bo-log-na. mrs. marshall is a good teacher, and once i got to know her better, i really like her. she didn't sign up to teach the foreign language classes, and she got stuck with a load of crap. i dropped out of spanish, which was not good for me, as i need another foreign language credit. the music classes suck. period. the art class sucks. period. i feel like no one at bridges is organized. nobody let me know how many credits i have, and what i need to take next year to be able to graduate in 09. heck, i don't know what my GPA is. ALSO! another thing that majorly ticked me off was the "letting go" of mrs. stripe and mrs. slosser. they were great teachers, and i liked them a whole stinking lot. it made me extremely, extremely, extremely, EXTREMELY angry to see them go. ok, i'm done being angry now. got that out of my system. anyways, i did learn a lot in english this year, as Mrs. Olthouse is a good teacher, no matter what anybody says. yea, she can be strict about things, but if you listen to her and do as you're told, you learn. a lot.


PROS: alright. well, i think the biggest thing that actually keeps me there are the people. and the PSOs, but we'll see how that goes. at my previous school, i didnt' fit in well. at bridges i can be 100% comfortable with myself, it's really great. ok, so, that's pretty much my "pros" list. mrs. stripe and mrs. slosser would be on it if they were still around =/.

as you can see, the cons very much outweigh the pros for me, but i guess we'll see how things go this year.

I would have to agree with you on almost all of the cons. But in all honesty I don't think that "bettering our community" will last more than a couple weeks. The teachers and the staffare going to realize exactly how retarded the idea is and will end it. As far as your grades and GPA I would suggest just calling the school during the day, Mrs. Back is almost always there, and she should be able to tell you everything you want to know. I am also extremely angry that Mrs. Stripe and Mrs. Slosser were fired... Honestly though , I don't think either of us will have to deal with it much. Were both taking almost all PSO's, we will hardly ever be in the bridges school building.
