Are american high schools like how they are on TV and films?

[Mr. Smith]

I went to a high school with 4,000+ people and with enough buildings that it could be mistaken for a community college [didn't help that it even had mini-schools within to make for essentially University Jr].

So while there were YUGE rallies and people doing all those things, there were just as many other things going on that one had to really seek these things out.

And if there's a protest going on [one YUGE one was the Marines Office shutdown, last year, it was a walkout based on some message left on a library computer...I imagine Trump's going to cause a lot these as well], that precious Pep Rally ain't goin' nowhere.
