How do I make a petition against my school?

Question

me and a lot of kids hate Braun, for what they did to us. Like in the morning, the teachers would search us, but THEY were never searched, how come they didn't get searched like we did? Or last year when they were serving us disgusting food, how come there was no Health Inspector? Or with me going to Sylvan, all because they weren't doing their job, why does my aunt have to pay for their mistakes? Whenever we swear we have to go to Crisis for 60 minutes. But when they swear, nothing happens to them. So why are they dishing stuff out when they can't take it? And when they accuse us of stuff, why should we pay a fine and do community service for something we didn't do? Why ain't they doing that stuff for all the **** they did? So can you guys help me with this? I'd really appreciate it.

Answer 1

huh?!?!? just leave your school alone!

Adults have to take charge. Schools always ignore the students. What you do is get all the students you can to write down things, EVERYTHING they know that is wrong, what school has done and said, etc.

Then, tell them to get all the parents, as many as they can, to all meet together with the superintendent of the whole school district .

Have parents take the students letters with them and all have a meeting together to see what can be done.

If superintendent does nothing, parents take the students letters and go to the district school board AND the STATE department of education.

I'm afraid there's not much you can do. I'm not telling you this to put you down, but rather because you should know. Administrations have absolutely no requirement to observe a student petition. If you petition, nothing good can come out of it. The problems you cite will not change, and a lot of adults will start to look down on you. (And judging by the conditions you suggest, the last thing you need is unfriendly adults who have the power to make your life miserable).

You should work on forming logical arguments. If you are accused of something you did not do, you have a right to hear what proof they have (in most schools, that is). Ask them to explain why they think that way.

Answer 4

Maybe because the teachers and staff are in charge and school isn't a democracy? That may have something to do with it.

Rather than point fingers and complain, own up to you deeds and stop causing trouble. That's the fastest way things will change for the better.
