Excerpt
Going through high school is much like being processed at a meat packing plant. At first glance, this statement sounds preposterous. However, I admit, with sadness, that students are classified much like meat is graded. Especially as students progress through high school, they are pushed closer to one of the extremes. Some students become intellectual elites, the "Grade A Top Choice." Others fade into the oblivion of shop hall and are reduced to meat by-products and dog food. Unfortunately, this very practice was used at my high school. Although Northern High was a nationally recognized learning facility, it, in a sense, butchered its students. After being processed and finally packaged from the Northern student plant, I feel that I am a reliable witness to Northern High School's gourmet recipe for creating a snob.
