and nobody seems to realize the kid's father is running for Atty Genl !!


Nobody in this local PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL has any idea.

Better one.

Why don't you think they know? You're referring to the high school kids that went to the party, right? What makes you think they'd care?

reply

Exactly.

And his race for atty general was not new news, so they all likely knew already.

Not a single student.
Not a single staff member.
Nobody.
Draw your own conclusion. If you have anything but rocks above the neck, you'll figure it out.

I don't care if they'd "care". If a student in that situation enters a school & begins to get into trouble, somebody will mention it. The script never has anybody mention it.
Really dumb.

We're not privy to every single conversation that occurred in that HS. It's really nothing to question, or nothing interesting at least. An other poster was right, why should high school students care?

The fact Jill slept with Ken, that's HS conversation!
That fight scheduled for 3pm by the oak tree? That's HS conversation.
...AJ gets into trouble (probably no more than other students either) and his father is who he is? Not so much.


We've met before, haven't we?
