A coping mechanism made up for students to make light of their failing grades assigned by Mr. Said Teacher. While beloved at first, the fellowship of the "cult" has fallen, leaving a shell of what once was, leaving Mr. Said Teacher cold and brooding once more, destroying students' grades and life one draining assignment at a time. With the fellowship ruined, individual students still subject to Mr. Said Teacher's doctorate-level expectations suffer alone, in despair.
Chemistry student: Remember when people had all those pictures of you?
Mr. Said Teacher: Oh yes, Howardism, I try to forget it. It was stalkerish.
Former Howardist (under breath): It wasn't our fault the school had your picture on the website.

Some of the hottest things on the golf course and lake shore. Usually accompanied by some khaki cargo shorts. These knees belong to high school boys and actual dads alike and are nevertheless perfect. There’s just something about them, they aren’t too skinny, and have just enough definition to hint at the mussels in the strong dad legs. Such dad knees can be judged when owner squats down to appraise the green.
Golf Girl #1: Omg, did you see that guy in those khaki shorts?
Golf Girl #2: Are you taking about the kid with the banging dad knees?
GG#1: (blushing) Maybe…but I mean like…did you see them?!
GG#2: Yeah they were pretty…mmm mmm mmm!
GG#3: (walks up) Did you see those dad knees?

This group consists of some of the most patriotic kids and some LGBTQ+ plus kids that aren't the theater kids and are mostly in the choir for the grade. The two farthest groups in school come together to create mental and emotional stress for their retired leaders. Many of these two groups take this class because they aren't smart enough to go to college or just really want to get out in the field and have their life planned for them. However, sometimes you get the star students involved in everything. It is a toss-up if they will be confident enough, although distant to be the core commander or the shy more ROTC-focused core commander that tries their best to lead. Either way, they have the best potential to score high on the ASVAB and be bragged about to recruiters and the school, despite only passively thinking about joining the military. Throughout ROTC kids, the drama will ensue and relationships will form, then end up failing, usually resulting one dropping out. Despite opposing views and plans in life, they all come together to party at the military ball.
Person 1: Why does that boy always have his head shaved and only talk about tanks?
Person 2: Oh he's a ROTC kid that can't wait to get swept up by the government.
Person 3: What about those girls over there holding hands in matching clothes?
Person 2: Also ROTC kids, but *walks over* NO #PDA IN UNIFORM YOU TWO!
