Talk:San Dieguito Academy

message: Eddie Vedder hated San Dieguito High School because the kids were neurotic.....I went there too. I agree. Well, he did drop out in his senior year of High School. 
Late 1970's and early 1980's was a really messed up time to grow up as a kid. It was more of a law of the jungle type mentality then it was about helping each other. I think most of the kids at that time had alcoholic parents or something not right. Encinitas/Cardiff was mostly known as a retirement place for ex-military people at that time. I find it kind of odd that San Dieguito's Notable alumni are mostly Sports Figures or Musicians. Seems you got jocks, and artist types that were brutalized....by the jocks? Like I said, neurotic kids.
Granted, there's a computer scientist, but I put him/her in that brutalized artist category.
I think this should be a warning to San Dieguito to put less emphasis on sports, and maybe some higher brain functioning......I think that's why San Dieguito High School became San Dieguito Academy.
:Yes, well this may all be true and verifiable for the time period at San Dieguito, it is not so now.  Currently enrolled as a student there, I view San Dieguito Academy as a much different place.  No great emphasis is placed upon either sports or academics, no great factions or disparities exist between its various students.  San Dieguito Academy is a place to learn, in any area, with no widespread harsh treatment by anybody – and this common “neuroticism” is unheard of.  As such, any statement concluded by any student predecessors up until this time about San Dieguito or San Dieguito Academy, cannot be considered as they hold no relevance to the atmosphere or dealings of San Dieguito Academy today.
:There was nothing wrong with San Dieguito High.  The elitist BS above is wrong. It was a great school with great teachers.  As with most things in life you only get out of it what you put into it.
[quote]By the time he was 15, his mother and stepfather had separated and he was paying his own rent rather than living at home, filled with the bitterness and anger that is expressed in his songs.
Those feelings flare up when he's asked what high school he attended.
"I'd like not to be associated with any of that," Vedder says abruptly. "They didn't treat me well."
Later, Vedder softens his answer.
"Well, maybe it was just that I wasn'y going to like anybody because I had  to work and I had to explain to my teachers why I wasn't keeping up. 
"I'd fall asleep and things in class and they'd lecture me about the reality of their classroom.  I said one day, 'You want to see my reality?' I opened up my backpack to where you usually keep your pencils.  That's where I kept my bills . . . electric bills, rent . . . That was my reality."
Vedder, who supported himself by working at a Long's Drug Store in Encinitas, eventually dropped out of school. The anger returns when he's asked about that period.
"I resented everybody around me who drove up in a car that someone provided for them . . . [with] insurance that someone provided for them," he says. "I'd be underneath some shelf putting price tags on tomato soup and I'd watch them come in . . . Obnoxious with their [expletive] prom outfits on, buying condoms and being loud about it." "I'd think, 'Those [expletives].'  Maybe I would have been doing that too, if the circumstances were different.  . . . Maybe that would have made me more forgiving, but I wasn't very forgiving at all.  Everything was just such a [expletive] struggle for years."[quote] http://members.atlantic.net/~elmoo/hedidn't.txt From the Los Angeles Times, Sunday, 1 May, 1994
:Who would have thought - the high school I went to has so many famous people from it? Gautam  06:01, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe most of the kids at that time had Borderline Personality Disorder. Probably because they were neglected and abused by their parents and other neurotic kids. http://specialkidstoday.com/resources/articles/bpd.htm Generally, you don't understand how insane you are till you get a little older.....even the older ones still don't know it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_Fw2y2S6Ew

message: Removed Michael Chang from "notable alumni".  As per the Cambridge dictionary, and common knowledge, an alumni is "someone who has left a school, college or university after completing their studies there". michael chang dropped out of school after recieving a GED and is not an alumni of this high school.  Perhaps that section should be renamed notable attendants.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Virsingh (talk • contribs) 02:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
