	High school subcultures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A high school subculture is a group of preteen or adolescent students in a secondary education setting — junior high school, high school — which acts as a subculture.
		Middle and high school subcultures which show a systematic opposition to the dominant culture are often seen as countercultures in their schools.
		Subcultural theory views this solution as a response on the part of the subcultural group to the fragmentation or loss of status of a parent culture.

	But Are They Learning?
		Larger schools typically must be subdivided into departments of units, with the consequence that school loyalties and inter-unit cooperation may be affected adversely.
		School size research most often refers to the size of the student body, large being 2,000 or more students in secondary environments for instance, while small being a broad range anywhere from 100 to 600 students in elementary and even secondary environments.
		The goal of the Memorial High Neighborhoods is through a series of initiatives to close the achievement gap, to create a collegial school culture, to build student leadership and ownership for the future direction of the school, and increase and diversity student participation in extracurricular activities.

		Powell determined that independent elementary schools tend to be small while independent high schools tend to be even smaller—in contrast to public schools, which tend to increase in size as the students they serve get older.
		Smaller schools promote substantially improved equity in achievement among all students, and smaller schools may be especially important for disadvantaged students.
		Some studies conclude that small schools’ operating costs per student are higher than those of large schools, but others find that they cost less per graduate because their graduation rates re higher (Cotton, 1996 and 2001; Lawrence et al., 2005).

	Band geek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "band geek" refers to a division of high school and college subculture, primarily in the United States, which involves the students who are involved in marching bands and concert band.
		While this is not the norm for all high school and college bands, many adopted it after the movie's release.
		The characters are drawn wearing traditional band uniforms, with high brimmed hats and tassles.

	Nerd - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Stereotypically, in high school, the more "popular" or more socially adept teens often ridicule and bully those labeled as nerds, who have a reputation of engaging deeply in academic areas.
		Thus a "nerd" is primarily marked as having a high intelligence and is not necessarily more fascinated with one subject any more so than another.
		Thus a "geek" who was obsessed by the pursuit of mathematical or scientific knowledge, might also be classified as a "nerd" as society considers such pursuits to be intellectual in nature and as requiring high intelligence.

		If he’s not going to ask UCLA or Michigan (or any of the bowl-hungry CFA schools) to “dismantle” their for-profit athletic progams (that is, sports businesses), then he and we are stuck with the “parallel universities” he complains about.
		The school could generously permit the players to take classes if they wanted, but it would end the charade that their players are students (or euphemistically “student-athletes") and would free the school not to hold the football players to the same standard it sets for students.
		High school teams’ traveling cross-country to play in televised games didn’t cause colleges to do the same; college sports caused high school sports to go for the gold.

		For most respondents heavy alcohol use in high school correlated to later collegiate polydrug use, but among the small subset of those reporting heavy high school use who had received treatment, their collegiate drug use patterns were far more moderate in comparison to their non-treated peers.
		In countries having high levels of cannabis use, the use of other drugs was also more common but there were no consistent differences for alcohol.
		In all comparisons, students in a "high use" environment (colleges with high proportions of frequent users) showed higher levels of vulnerability to substance use than students in a "low use" environment (low proportions of frequent users).

	School 33: Highlights
		After twenty years of walking into studios not knowing what I’ll encounter on the other side of the door, nothing much has changed: that mix of nervousness and excitement, for artist and curator alike, never goes away.
		And so it was that I went to Baltimore to visit the artists at School 33 on March 7th.
		The work here, Biography (2005), incorporates drawing, stenciling, cut-out plywood silhouettes — both as positive and negative space — toys and various detritus, signs left behind by the homeless, and a picture in a bottle: the artist at the age of six or seven years of age.

		Organized cheerleading contests were formed; most high schools around the U.S.A. had formed cheerleading squads by the 1950s.
		State and national championships for school and college teams are common, and top squads take their routines extremely seriously.
		Furthermore, the typical high school cheerleader is stereotyped as an intellectually deficient, vain, white female with a spacious social circle and an attraction for jocks/male athletes (usually high school football players).

		In high school, he was bused to a newly desegregated school (50 percent fl, 40 percent white, and 10 percent Hispanic), and he credits the experience with inspiring his love of anthropology (a discipline he calls “philosophy as lived by real people”).
		The U.S. prison population was at an all-time high, and he conceived of the story as being as much about economics as society.
		One big piece comes from high school in Denver, where I was bused by court order from a predominately white school to a predominately fl school.

		The invisible social lines typically drawn in the lunch room between so-called high school subcultures, such as "jocks," "head bangers" and "goths," were blurred for a short time.

		Word Spy is an inventive and informative travelogue through the evolving landscape of the English language and, consequently, the cultures and subcultures that continually mold and shape not just the language but all of us who speak it.
