Welcome to Success High One of every four students turns out to be a millionaire Cause we make everyone take AP But what of all the rest?
Jimmy was overwhelmed by school, And turned to drugs to get by. He wanted to be a teacher. He used to be a good kid, I swear. He just needed to relieve the tension But it ended in an OD. He wouldn't have made that mistake If only he weren't so over-stressed.

Timmy downed a bottle of antifreeze When he decided he wanted to die. Why would he do this? It was the pressure that he couldn't bear. His dreams flew out the window when he realized That only in death would he be free. If only he were allowed to have a life He woudln't have been so depressed.

Mary could handle her classes. She had potential that reached the sky, But her death was the worst of all. It brought the entire nation to a day of prayer She was shot one day at school, But everyone was too caught up in homework to forsee That fateful moment When the bullet hit her chest.

AP stands for Advanced Placement. They're classes that are the equivalent of college courses, but taught in high school and at the end of the year everyone takes a bigass test that colleges look at.
And my school district is seriously making it a REQUIREMENT to take one of these courses in each of the 4 core subjects.

The message is written through very well. I agree with it too. As for AP being a requirement, that's bull shit. That should never be the case! I mean, a person should be able to choose what they want to do with their own life, not have it chosen for them...
