[edit] Streaming and Forced Busing
Does Greenwich High School practise streaming ? Can someone answer this question on the site? Also, it is mentioned that there was a Daily Show segment (caps please!) on forced busing - can someone explain in a few words what this was about? [was this a joke of some kind?] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.34.20.23 (talk) 19:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
The "Forced Busing" skit was about how only Seniors are allowed to park in the school parking lots, because there isn't enough room for everyone. The privilege can be taken away. But, it isn't much of a problem, they comically over-exaggerated it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.163.100.201 (talk) 02:04, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
The introduction is a bit choppy. Can someone clean it up? Also, the name of the segment is "Greenwich or Bussed." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikesown (talk • contribs) 01:47, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I do not believe that Greenwich High School practices streaming. The Daily Show, though a humorous source of news, should not be taken word per word. Otherwise, the world would have been overrun by circumsized bears by now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.120.15.141 (talk) 20:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
In terms of streaming my experience with the school is yes. It has a variety of courses. AP, Honors, Normal, and some Remedial classes. The entire Greenwich Public School system "streams" one class leading to the other. It is possible, however, to move up to a better stream through hard work and parental argumentation. --Leightnightdinner 22:14, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
I had to completely fix this page on November 18th. Someone had played a joke on this page and had added false information. Due to the fact that Greenwich is one of the richest towns in the country, someone took advantage of this fact and made up facts that made the high school seem like a rich, pretentious private high school. false facts regarding the number of students admitted to the ivy league were added to the website as well as facts that stated that Greenwich was the best school in the nation, the sports teams were the best in the county, the food court was a sit down restaurant, students can decide whether or not to go to class, there is wi-fi in the school, the high school is the costliest education building in the world and other false facts. These facts aren't funny. The only people who find them funny are the people who wrote them (people most likely from the high school). For someone who doesn't know about the high school, it isn't funny to portray the school as a rich white school. its not using Wikipedia correctly if you put false facts on it. If you want to make funny false facts than go to the "deleted but funny" part of the website. its things that were written that had to be taken down because they were lies, but were actually funny. and by the way, the Greenwich high school debate team is horrible. the link that was posted was clearly false facts made by the members of the team. the team is only marginally successful due to the fact that its members are idiots. and by the way, Kittle I know you made this stuff on the GHS website. You can come find me to discuss this. i sit in the junior section by the vending machines. Ya, you know the place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.120.7.167 (talk) 02:28, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
A) TLDR
B) You're using Wikipedia as a forum for your own dislikes against the Debate Team. The article was already deleted because it was simply too vain and praised certain members of it that simply have no mention on Wikipedia.
C) Your changes are merited and approved by me.
D) You really shouldn't put your own initials on the internet, especially if other people there can find out who you are. Initials Deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Railcgun (talk • contribs) 01:47, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
what a silly argument
Really, I thought it was funny
i never even knew we had a debate team. but lets stop arguing about it. also, it would be kinda awkward for the you all to talk to eachother at school. 69.119.98.236 02:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
