US schools seems to be a horrible place. And that's encouraged by the system, like choosing king&queen couples or the fact that sports activities are worshiped mindlessly.
There are many schools spread across a huge region. Lumping them into together is asinine.
> choosing king&queen couples
Lots of kids don't care about that, and it isn't that big of a deal.
> sports activities are worshiped mindlessly
This isn't exactly a high school specific thing, sports are 'worshipped mindlessly' all over the globe.
Every school is different. At ours the football team blew, the band kids were cheerleaders, decathletes, stoners and bros, cliques didn't exist in the classical sense of the word, and the school spirit was pretty rockin'. All in a public school in one of the poorest, most unemployed areas of California. Trying to bring them all in under one banner of 'US High Schools' is pretty odd
