Hawthorn Middle School South 

Probably one of THE worst schools in Illinois. You'll always get homework no matter what, and lots of racist teachers. The front office administration teachers are shit, and the educational teachers don't care crap about students, in fact, it gives more F's. except for their payment. Boys vape in the bathrooms, jerk off and spray liquid ass in the bathroom as they finalize before they go back to the classroom. Music teachers are shitty as hell as they can't even play shit except to judge students.
Jack: Hey Bob, hows Hawthorn Middle School South?

Bob: It's really bad. The teachers hate me :(

Hawthorn Middle School South 

A shit school with lots of show off jocks, sluts, and bitchy teachers. You can get in trouble for just about anything in that school, they are in the top 100 schools in IL (95th). The administration is gay. The principle is a bitch. There is never a day where there is no homework. You can expect to be in hell for the next 3 years of your life.

At my workplace, nobody employs the Hawthorne Effect ....so it should be no big secret that it sucks to work there.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
