Call for Talented Students: Ethnically Diverse and Respectable High School Seeking Ethnically Diverse and Respectable High School Students to Balance Student Body

At Esnotall High School, our highest priority is serving our students and providing them with the tools and environment to succeed. Our students hail from an impressively diverse range of homelands all tucked away in the mysterious reaches of Central America. As a result, English is not the main language in which this school indulges. In fact, English is replaced with a language that is considered closer to home for the bulk of the student body.

Dress code is not required at Esnotall High; we hold our students to a higher esteem. Much more independent personaliteis forgo what is considered 'appropriate' for a learning environment: the male population favors Dickies shorts, crisp t-shirts, and long white socks while the females opt for clothes that fit their bodies as well as their makeup fis their station.

Upon first glance, many might feel intimidated when entering school grounds. However, Esnotall High takes pride in the student art displayed on various stages throughout the school. IT is our opinion that bathroom stalls, classroom windows, and the sides of our administration building have never looked better than when we gave our school up to the overwhelming cravings of the inner artist in every student on campus. 

So if you are interested in taking your learning to a whole new place, please call for an interview today. It is likely our operator will call back in a fashion timely enough to keep in mind.

*This is something I made up. It's an ad of sorts. I have much more to say on what I wrote, but I would like to hear what you all think of this first. Does it make any sense at all what I was trying to do here?

  1. I may be misinterpreting this, but is this a sort of an ironic dystopian situation when something is taken too far?

  2. I am not following what you are trying to do... I am getting a The Man That Corrupted Haddleyburg vibe, but I do not believe that is what you were going for.

  3. @Alex: Yes, this was my attempt at writing sarcasm. Esnotall High was loosely based on my old high school. Honestly, around ninety percent of the student population was Hispanic or Latino, so many of the stereotypes associated with Hispanic culture became evident fairly quickly upon inspection: the baggy Dickies shorts and large t-shirts, not being able to speak English comfortably, the makeup eyebrows, etc. I just thought back on many of those stereotypical traits at my old high school and tried to bring it out while using a language that emphasized those traits by using it discreetly.
    So I was wondering, does this make me look insensitive?

  4. No, I dont think it makes you look insensitive, and using irony is great way to get a point across without being too aggressive, Im a little bit confused about the goal of the writing. Its well written though.
