Changes

Anyone who needs an example of "public school culture" should go to our school's cross river rival Charlotte High School in Punta Gorda, Florida. The first thing you see besides the obnoxious looking tarpon (which was created by the school's [[cheerleading]] squad in the mid 90's, probably the most indecent cheerleading squad in the state giving the entire sport a terrible name) is a sign that states "Surveillance cameras in use." Over gloification of the school's athletic teams and lack of interest for academics has earned the school an impressive "D" grade from the state DOE whereas no other school in Charlotte County has ever had less than a "C" grade. Don't know about the prayer issue there, but I do know that our school (Port Charlotte in Port Charlotte, FL), which has been deemed an "A" grade school, sometimes has moments of silence, and has even had public prayers at certain events, such as the [[NJROTC]] annual inspection, being witnessed by the principal, superintendent for Charlotte County Public Schools, NJROTC Area 7 manager, many students, and over 100 parents. Charlotte HS is known for behavioral issues; [[Wikipedia]] can no longer be accessed from any CCPS school because girls at CHS could not resist vandalizing the site, and they'd probably do the same here if they were intelligent enough to find this site. I consider CHS more of a typical public school, meaning the type described here, and the type you see on the news and every TV show depicting a public school. I don't, however, believe that all public schools are like this or that all private schools are any better. I realize many people here don't like [[Wikipedia]], but anyone that wants to see how immature this world is, public school or otherwise, should go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges and look at the diffs coming from the IPs. You'll see "public school culture" at its worst, and it will come from [[public schools]], [[private schools]], libraries, churches, people working for corporations, small businesses, government agencies, and non-profit organizations, mobile providers and WiFi hotspots, and residential accounts.
