oh the woes...

All i want to do is. bang. bang. bang...



I'm just waiting here in the library... I can't believe I can access this page even with the many blocks the school puts in place on the internet. They even blocked wikipedia.

I just got on the school's website and amid the conflict involving the transfer of two highschool teachers because of a harrassment problems, the school district released a redacted report of the social studies culture climate report. A Human Resources consultant interviewed teachers based on sexual harrassment charges being brought up. This story has received local news coverage. Many past and present students have also stood up against the board of education's decision to transfer the two teachers to the middle school. It was an extraordinary scene, on youtube I saw the board meeting involving the transfer decision, with hundreds of students cramming into the half dance studio half conference room. During the whole debacle some parents and students even chanted shame at the board members and at the superintendent. It got so outlandish that the board momentarily left the room to discuss the situation. As a student seeing some of my classmates at the meeting which was covered by all the local news stations, I felt like I was in some sort of cliched novel.

School. Conflict. Outraged students and parents. This is the REAL Decision 2008. I dunno, along those lines of a crazy, horribly written novel. One student in particular who I personally know decided to stand up for these teachers. Raise his voice inorder to get the attention that this issue needed.

I was baffled. How could a student, who barely knows the teachers involved in the transfer and who doesn't know the whole story, get involved so full-heartedly. It disgusted me because this wasn't HIS battle. It was the teachers. And the students should support the teachers and not blindly protest because it sounds cool.

The result is in. The board will go through with their decision to transfer the two teachers to the middlr school, resulting in two middle school teachers coming to the high school. ~Oh whoa this is how my school is so~
