Back when I was teaching at Eastpointe, we had a problem with people tagging the bathroom. And to this day it confuses me why anyone would want to put their name onto a toilet. Crude jokes, bad drawings of naked women, and so on are to be expected from dumb high school students, but why would you want to claim a toilet? How does having your tag on a high school shitter make you cooler by any measure whatsoever?
There are other idiotic places to tag. When I was in (Catholic) high school, we arrived one day to see that someone had scaled the side of the very large church next to the school and tagged the roof. While the audacity of it was a bit staggering, I had a hard time picturing the gang members calling themselves Wessyde Bible Thumpas.
More recently, someone tagged my trash can. Seriously. I guess whoever it was likes the notion of having their name associated with trash. Then again, by tagging, I suppose it already is.Labels: high school, idiots, school, teenagers |
