Where all them football players at?

     Has anyone ever wondered why there are no football players in AP English 12? Many students have mentioned the lack of males in our english classes, but never about the lack of football players. I find this very interesting. Many people stereotype Chagrin Falls High School as rich, bratty, preppy kids. I can not completely disagree with this view. It upsets me that people from other areas think of us in this way, but our school is very easy to stereotype. For instance, the fact that we have no football players in our AP English class. Football players are tough, manly, and aggressive. Many are also very unintellegent (This does not mean ALL so please do not feel offended). I know many of the senior football players are not the sharpest tools in the shed. I find it very interesting that they can twist, turn, and tell where there opponents are throwing the ball but they can't write a paper. As all AP English students know, Ms. Serensky's class is very intense and grueling. Does this mean that not even the toughest, strongest kids in the school can handle it?  Apparently not.
