Tennyson High School Research.

The school that i did research on its called Tennyson high school in Hayward CA, I graduated from this school in 2011, and when i was there i couldn't find no connections to the books, because the school system was so different to the point that in order to have a better graduation rates, they would just give students a lot of chances, and You can graduate from high school like you haven't done no work at all. There was some teachers in Tennyson that did not care at all, if you didn't wanted to be here they would just let you out, i wouldn't even deal with you.

 The counselors are incompetent, i had a personal one since she was affiliated to a academy which is called CMMA (Community Multimedia Academy). You can say there was some segregation in my old school, but it was between academies, not races. There was 5 academies, ATLA, CMMA, X academy, AVID, BayLab. People who were in those academies were rarely friends, and only hanged out with people from our academies. They would send me to recruit freshmen into joining our academy, since we wanted the best minds in the schools. The students who were not in academies didn't get no attention nor tutoring time. All of other academies hated CMMA because we had the best technology in the school, since we were partnered with Adobe Corporation.

Another form of segregation was Halls. Halls were spots that students can socialize. They were 3 Main Halls; C Hall, D Hall, E Hall. C Hall was occupied by X Academy, and BayLab Students, since they had some similarities. E Hall was mostly CMMA and ATLA members, but we didn't get along. Some students who were in ATLA initially wanted to be in CMMA, but because of their grades they got kicked out, so some ALTA students hated CMMA students calling us Arrogant just because we had more resources than the other students in school. D Hall was more like a neutral zone, and any student from any academy would hang out with their friends during lunch. D hall was special because the students who hanged out in there saw academies as just academies, not feuds. I was part of that group, and we had fun in those times. When i was a senior BayLab and X academy got Dissolved due to insufficient resources. ALTA, CMMA, and AVID stands supreme to this day.

In other high schools, nobody really cared if you were a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior, but in Tennyson it mattered a lot. Seniors would be bullies to other classes because they thought they were superior since they were leaving, also they were more much more reckless than other classes. In my freshman year, before i got introduced to academies, they were segregation of classes. Seniors would look at me funny because i dated a junior, because it was unheard of, and i used to be harassed because of it. There was this sophomore girl who really liked me, but i rejected her due to the fact she was just a sophomore and i was a senior and if you saw people from different classes you would get ridiculed by your peers. When freshman Friday came, i had to fight off two seniors, because they wanted to throw me in the garbage, but i didn't fist fight them, but i outsmarted them and ran away.
