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.

Hawthorne Effect

According to experiments (first conducted in the Hawthorn plant of Western Electric in Illinois, people who are told that they are highly capable and are doing well will then do even better work than worse. The adage "Honey catches more flies than vinegar" suggests that changes resulting from praise or dispraise may not be lasting.

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