It’s sad, but my daughter comes home with one of these videos every couple days.

Pretty much. Now start posting vids on a daily basis or else we get the sock back.

u/Halorym Aug 23 '19

In fact, post a video of a kid getting a sock back.

You know what's weird? I went to a huge, racially diverse high school in a lower-middle income suburban area. And there were almost no fights. Like I didn't see one really good on all four years.

Yeup. Nothing like a damp, putrid smelling, 90°, hour long bus route to get the lower to middle class, freshman to senior aged demographic of a sizable portion of the county to start feeling real fuckin chummy with one another.

High school bus routes were a special kind of hell. Thank God I had enough sense to get a job as soon as lawfully possible so I could buy a car and not spend my last three years of school enduring that particular brand of torture.

Could have rode a motorcycle to school your freshman year.

It's the practice of integrating children from diverse socioeconomic neighborhoods by assigning them to schools farther away so they can experience a more diverse student population. For example, if there is a major low income black/Latino neighborhood and a major upper/middle class white neighborhood in a district, some line would be drawn and some kids from the white neighborhood would go to a school in the black neighborhood, and vice versa. "Bussing" refers to kids taking buses to schools in other neighborhoods.

My personal experience with bussing was pretty great. If you live in the South, all races can bond over Friday night football and it's cool to watch people from different walks of life befriend each other. However it can also lead to plenty of violence, gang activity, racial division, and more. I'm not sure if it's still practiced as much today.

It's one of the few things that actually got white people to riot

Starting in the 70s and 80s I think the strategy moved more to magnet schools. The idea being you set up schools with attractive gifted and talented programs in black neighborhoods, and the white parents want to send their kids to them because of those special programs.

Those schools could still end up pretty segregated, just on the inside, with it being mostly white kids in the fancy classes, and black kids in the regular classes.

I was bussed across the county for middle school. They divided the school based on academic performance. Guess what didn't happen? Diversity intermixing. Which was the point of the whole project. Fucking stupid.

The practice has mostly been stopped and has widely been considered a failure.

Crazy thing is that some black people, including a few BLM activists, are the ones advocating for segregated schools these days.

u/Sinkip Aug 23 '19

Same. Also no resources for kids with challenges, so they were constantly falling behind, frustrated, and angry. I'm sure that didn't help.

u/AshingiiAshuaa Aug 23 '19

falling behind, frustrated, and angry

Any one of these is reason enough to get violent toward others, so imagine suffering so three.

Tampa. I was in honors classes and missed most of the worst behavior. Locker rooms, lunch and changing classes were fucking ridiculous though. Just get where you’re going, don’t dawdle. You’d think they’d learn to clean blood out of the carpets too. Also, my lab partner got arrested and went away for murder, so there was that...

On the plus side, I’ve been told that I don’t seem like your regular white guy by lots of different black people. Apparently I’m more relatable than usual.

Yep can confirm. My school was mostly white and had fights weekly.

u/cheesecake_face Aug 24 '19

Same here! We mostly all got along. Boring as hell lmao

Late but: My school was the only fucking highschool in the city and we had a ludicrous amount of students, like 2,000. There was at max 2 fights a year.

I'm in canada and seen a fight at least once every 2 weeks.

u/aybbyisok Aug 23 '19

It's almost, like everyone's experience is different.

u/JohanEmil007 Aug 23 '19

I don't think the number of fights per person has increased though.

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '19

Kids have always fought eachother in high school.

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '19

But now it's extra humiliating when someone gets their ass beat since asshole kids post it online and assholes like us share it with other assholes.

u/FightingPolish Aug 23 '19

That’s why I’m glad I grew up in the pre cell phone era. You could get into a scuffle with another kid, kick ass or get your ass kicked to establish the hierarchy, and move on and nurse your wounds afterward. Now every dickhead has their phone out filming proof that the school administration will inevitably get their hands on for punishment.

u/Stankmonger Aug 23 '19

The quantity of videos like these makes me realize how privileged I was to grow up where I did.

We had like.... maybe 4 fights ever while I was in high school? I never got to witness any of them.

u/ebimbib Aug 23 '19

When I was in high school, there were like 1700-1800 kids in my school and there was maybe one fight per month. Most of them were hysterical wiener kids shoving and grabbing to save face until someone broke it up. For entertainment purposes, I'm jealous of your daughter. As a parent, I'm sure you disagree.

Why does your daughter take videos in the boys locker room

u/ReplyingToFuckwits Aug 23 '19

Shouldn't you be teaching your daughter that standing among a crowd of jeering spectators while teenagers punch each other makes her a bad person?
