I went to an adjacent one and I knew people from Mt. Lebanon who hated their experience.

I bet people from all different high schools have poor experiences. I don’t think it’s considered top 3 high schools in the area but secretly setting up kids for failure.

You get out of it what you put into it.

Got any examples?

I imagine it’s like a John Hughes film.

First world problems smh. Theres a bunch of inner city kids who would kill for the opportunity to go to a school like mt lebanon.

First world problems. Take accountability for your failures and stop looking for someone else to blame. You went to one of the best schools in the state. Wake up.

It sounds like you are really stressed out and you might benefit from therapy. Writing out your story can be therapeutic. Sometimes people that go to good or high pressure school can develop post traumatic stress disorder. Those types of schools can make you feel like a complete failure when you mess up in tiny ways. Sometimes outsiders judge you based on your supposedly privileged background when even the best schools let a lot of people fall through the cracks. Even the best schools aren’t free from bullying and discrimination. Be kind to yourself and don’t let it define the rest of your life. The future is unwritten.

It's a big school district - which for some kids isn't going to be a good fit.

Growing up, some of my friends left the public schools because they needed a smaller more intimate setting for education success.

Corrupt was a strange word choice but op probably just means rotten or spoiled and not in the dishonest moral sense of the word. The op is stressed and hastily wrote this post with SAT vocab words in odd places so that is probably what they were taught to do in a college prep obsessed privileged school district

Your English teachers corrupted you. Just look at that run-on sentence!!

I remember this making the rounds when I was in school. Apparently this kind of toxic behavior flourishes in Mt Lebanon to this day.

Yeah I just updated the post with some of my experiences.

With rampant racism and prejudice??? Greeaaatttt totallyyyy

You have such a loser mentality. Some people actually want to be successful in life worse than they want to be a victim.

Acting like suburb schools are any better. That's loser mentality

Theyre better by every single measurable and objective metric. Prove me wrong.

They're literally the fucking same dude. Ffs. City schools rated higher than my suburb school

City schools are just teenage daycares with rundown facilities. Lebo has state of the art athletics and arts facilities and have an environment that’s actually conducive to success in the classroom. Test scores dont lie.

Lmao "state of the art". Bro fuck out of here with ur goofy shit. Test scores? Bitch test scores ain't shit and ain't worth shit.

Not much of a critical thinking are you lmao

Give up dude. U ain't winning this

I've worked at the high school both just on the grounds and actually 'embedded' (babysitting) with the kids on and off for the past 12 years doing security for events, so I've had a lot of time just watching the kids and the parents interact naturally.

You could not be more correct, in my experience.
