In high school, exclusions are a prominent part of our everyday lives. From voicing our concerns, being too young, and the socially inept to the misunderstood, misguided, and less fortunate, we face social exclusions that as David Sibley, author of Geographies of Exclusion, puts it, " are taken for granted as a part of the routine of daily life." (Intro pg.1) .
In high school a caste system is developed generally and specifically. The general hierarchy consists of a principal to a teacher to a student, and more specifically, popular to unpopular. Popularity is defined by association and relation. If you don't fit into either category, you"re unpopular or independent of title. Although the bubble I lived in before college gave me the implication that I was safe from all things bad, the truth is, exclusion is human nature. It started from the moment I entered school, more so in high school. I chose my friends and I chose my place. Popularity reigned. Athletes have the advantage over most. A feature of high school that, as exclusion goes, "some will find oppressive and others appealing." (Intro pg.3) When it comes to participating, most coaches expect you to be on top of your work, good grades, etc. When I played soccer, I never had to worry about the possibility of not playing because I kept my grades up. Others, however, did not. A couple of our teammates failed one six weeks and it hurt the team, but like every rule there is an exception. In my case, these people "miraculously" became eligible to play in a matter of days. Now I know a thing or two about a thing or two. After spending four years at this school I knew how to manipulate, but most of all I knew how the system worked. When it came to grades, fifty percent of the student body-the nonathletic-were excluded from the advantage of the grade waiver, excused absences, and the crowds we attracted on and off the field. Football players being the kings of this club, got off better than the rest.
