Today I went on down to Severna Park, Maryland to see how them high schooler's work nowadays. It was a beauty and all, but all I could think about was how it was so goddam hot. It felt like I sure as hell may die in there. Some kids were nice, just sitting there watching me through the glass. But the boys be hemming and hawing in the next classroom down, shouting so loud the teacher couldn't even answer the question. They just wouldn't let her alone. I felt bad for the two boys sitting in the far back sitting real quiet waiting for some answers. The teacher leaned against an entire wall of whiteboard. I said to the tour guide how she be lucky she is getting all that space to write up notes. If only I had all that space to learn. It's pretty funny seeing everyone in the same uniform, all dressed up in pants and a white shirt. I reckon that this is the first place I ever have seen something like that. When the students changed classes it looked like a goddamn cult, moving so fast all dressed up I thought I might get called out for not looking like them. They all wearing the same shoes too. Because they be told to I'm guessing. I heard they get in big trouble if they show up wearing the wrong things. You'd be surprised though, most of them follow the rules.
The teachers were all serious too. Seemed really into their own subject. Real smart people, talking and talking until the kids brains be falling out. They love the kids I can tell. Some of the teachers let the kids chomp down on some food while they talk. I told the tour guide that I was pretty hungry at that point so she took me to the cafeteria. There was so much food I couldn't figure out what I wanted. The lunch lady told me the chicken tenders were great. So that's what I got. And she didn't lie. Those were the best tenders I ever had. After eating I thanked my guide and decided to walk by myself outside. I was impressed by the landscape. So many fields, it amazed me. So green. They were all empty, but I could only imagine the crowds that be cheering in the stands. I just knew that guide would get me to come back for the Homecoming game.
