A friend in her late 50s is still (rightfully, in my view) resentful of her hometown school board's decision to have one mammoth high school where two or three might have been justified. The school board apparently wanted to have a student body large enough to field a very good football team, you see. That worked, but the education not so well.
- bryanlarsen 11y agoThe combined school would have 917 students, which would still be considered a small high school by most people's standards.
