Maxx Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Sindy- the difference is you are still a fan...you didn"] mother of god..... thats a lot of students. Yeah, our high school was one of the largest, population wise, in the U.S. (At least, that's what they told us) Mine had about 500..... Where I did my undergrad work didnt even have that many students..... Thats just overcrowding at its best.... How many people were in yall's classes? 80? Our graduating class had over 1,000 by itself However, most classes were around 40-50 students, since I was in Gifted it was somewhat less though. The only class that was really packed was in 11th grade, American History, 200+ students in an auditorium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1truefan Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 My smallest class was my AP Spanish class with over 40 students...Mind you smallest...(keyword) Largest would have had to be my Biology/Chemistry/Physics (Gifted Honors) with about 50... Yeah, and that's because we were in the "Gifted" program which was designed to have smaller classes....uh huh, sure.. About how it was handled, well securities every where ...ten million APs, and just a very well organized system and I believe that teacher in the auditorium had assistants...but that wouldn't stop those cheaters... Like one of the articles I posted...we were ranked one of the safest schools in the U.S. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
