The high school I attended was very much like the school Rozema described in chapter 2 of "Early Career English Teachers in Action." Our school culture was primarily made up of middle and upper class students, supported by a very family-driven community and spirited faculty.
There was a lot of focus on our football team--we even pulled former U of M coach out from retirement. Lots of community support and money went towards a new stadium and football equipment.
As a student, I along with my peers saw the football players a step above us, but not in a bad way. They just seemed a bit more important.
I wonder what kind of school culture I'll teach in.
