Hello everybody. This is my Google review of the School of Inquiry and Life Sciences at Asheville. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is mentioned above. SILSA is home to many interesting characters, none of which possess a backbone. All of them can be described in a single word: sad. SILSA kids are sad in more ways than one. They are sad in the sense that they are extremely depressed, due to the constant bullying by Asheville High kids and the social isolation forced upon them by the faculty and staff. They are also sad in the sense that they have no social life or relationships with peers (which is not their fault-it is a direct result of the aforementioned bullying and isolation).
There are many other factors that contribute to the typical SILSA kid’s misery. One of them is the required Survivor class. When choosing between Asheville High School and SILSA, the 8th graders were told that Survivor would be the most useful class they’d ever take. They were told it would be essential to learning how to organize their work and manage their time in High school. In reality, Survivor is a class which has taught me and my peers exactly nothing. It is a class that has forced college preparation down our throats, and has forced us to choose a college and career in our freshman year of high school. Perhaps the worst thing of all about Survivor is the ePortfolio. SILSA students are required to write an extended response for each of seven “outcomes”, which were most likely written by a bunch of teachers who decided to get wasted in the Faculty lounge and write seven ‘rules to live by’ that would go on to haunt every SILSA kid’s nightmares for the next eight months.
In short, SILSA is not an alternative to Asheville High that will make you look better on applications for college. It is not a miracle school that will wake you superior to every other. It is not a school that will teach you secret techniques to survive in the real world. It is a fake, isolated, belittled, careless, lonely hellhole of a place to spend just one academic year, let alone four. To the class of 2022 and every future class planning to attend SILSA: don’t. Also the rats eat your brain. gettit cuz rats? basement rats? hahahahahaha
