school spirit

who needs it?

"I" never joined any teams because there is no "I" in "team".

 

i wanted this position on student council. school spirit leader. we would plan for one week each day being something different like tie dye tshirt day, pjs day, blue and gold day, dress up like the opposite sex day, mock a teacher day...people would really take it seriously and others wouldnt even care . i wanted the job so i could score a stull at graduation.

 

I just tried to avoid going to school. I wasn't crazy about it.

 

i never comprehended why i was supposed to be proud of my school. i went to my school because thats the school i was assigned to based on where in my town i lived. i didnt choose my school. i didnt choose my teachers. i didnt choose who i went to school with. i didnt even choose to go to school at all, that was determined for me.

i figured that they were forcing all these things on me, so i had no meaningful connection to any of it and no reason to be proud or have "school spirit"

i had no control over it. it would be like me having rallies and being in-your-face to everyone about how awesome it is for me to be white and male, other things i had no choice in. it really blew my mind that faculty thought there was something wrong if i didnt care about the school in general, just certain interesting classes, people, and teachers. the rest could go to hell for all i cared about it.

 

haha, spot on. that's pretty much how I feel about anyone who is "proud" of anything that they are only a part of by default.

 

i have played on a football team for most of my life, and ive found out that you dont play a sport or join a team because of school spirit of shit like that. You join a team because the people you meet that are out there on the field with you and practicing every day are the people that make you want to work harder. Its the people you meet in life that count

 

School spirit is just another sham that teachers feed the kids who are too square for drugs in order to keep them occupied.

 

i agree but still, its kinda fun to support something, even if it is school. im not much of a supporter for things and if you do participate in school spirit, its one of the first things a person supports in there life. it teaches you how to bond with kids, and a reason. a lame reason but still something to have fun with if you have a boring life.

 

I see the appeal of it, but it would never have occured to me to participate in any extra-curricular activites or go to a pep rally or prom or anything. hahaha.

 

school spirit is fjust getting kids ready for later 'america spirit'.
Just like the easter bunny/santa gets kids used to mindless faith in fake beings, so they will later be ready for church.

 

ooohhh come on.. you haveto atleast be part of something at school.
even though im not. ahhaha

only because "people at school" piss me off.
but im nice.
peace

 

I was class president freshmen year in high school. I tried to plan this awesome camping trip with rafting and stuff and I had a guy come and make a presentation on it and everything just to get responses from my classmates like "Yuck, too many bugs" or "Is there a place I can plug in my hair dryer?"Yeah after that I had no desire to do anything with my class.

 

thats a good idea. a rafting trip to go camping and shit! may i use that to plan?

 

Of course. Hope you don't have prissy ass biotches in your grade though. Good luck

 

i do, but they arent invited!

 

man how could you not go to prom...it was the shiot

 

why go to prom though? pay way too much money to wear an outfit once maybe twice, with people you're only going to know for 5 min? its the parties afterward thats makes it the shit

 

i used to be a cheerleader in middle school.. so i had a lot of school spirit.
then i got to high school and had spirit for marijuana and gave up my spirit for school
haha

 

i went to school in the ghetto, the dirrty d. Dirrty High. darkside... fuck. i hated it, i was on the cheerleading team, which was full of stoners. but i wasn't really into school spirit.

 

I was in the art club, but it wasn't very spiritful. I'd always try to put hidden genitalia in the things they'd make us make to put up around the school. A student teacher caught on once and tried to snitch on me, but everybody thought it was a coincidence and considered her a pervert, duly.
