Thanks Don. Don’t want a drug or social drama ridden HS.

Dr MoBYU

6/19/21 8:28am

There are drugs in every school. It's always about the friends your student

The only HS like that might be Home School and that is debatable on drama.

lol the 'rich school' being elitist is the most worn out stereotype ever

Hotlanta

And sometimes stereotypes are there for a reason. Naturally it doesn’t fit all kids
