Yesterday I was sitting in my classroom when all of a sudden this monstrous student tall, fat and with the largest afro you could ever see pulls out a box of cigarettes and starts smoking in class. He has his size 18 foot laying on the desk, the typical McDonald's ketchup guy. He doesn't do homework, he doesn't even listen. I always ask myself the same question when I see him. "Why does he even show up in school?" .
Do you remember how high school was? Well I don't need to remember, I"m living through it right now. It is horrible. The most annoying things are the "useless kids". These kids do nothing but disrupt the school and cause problems for everyone. Besides these guys could just stay at home and do the stuff they already do more easily. They should just drop out.
There's tons of these guys. If you don't see them, believe me you can smell them. Their attitude towards school is reflected in other aspects of their lives. They are just a waste of time for the school's labor force. Skipping costs the assistant principals a great deal of time. They have to look for them and try to get them in class. .
Skippers never have time to go to class but when they do they bully the smart kids. Not a good idea if you ask me. One day they"ll be flipping burgers for these wiz kids. The disruption doesn't stop there. They are responsible for making the school extremely disorganized, and disorderly. .
For all the trouble these guys bring, they also bring entertainment to the school. They deliver an opportunity for other students to watch fights, and provide humor with their famous "yo mama" battle sessions. They"re the most anticipated days of the week. .
I remember on my freshman year when in lunch some of the skippers that attended my school had asked their out of school "homeboys" to come to the school and "tear da place up". It wasn't a pretty sight. There was a lot of chair throwing, body slamming, and "skull bashing".
