This never, ever, would have happened in my school. Apparently, the north end of Puget Sound is more different than the south end than I thought.
The tension built.
For a week, Totem Middle School students met after class in the library, posted messages on MySpace and whispered conversations in the hall. They made signs, painted T-shirts and circulated petitions.
When the clock hit 10:40 a.m. Wednesday, they were ready.
They walked out.
Around 200 students risked suspension and broke school rules to demand more discipline.
No, these kids aren’t into bondage, they’re just tired of the fights, the gang tags and the drug and alcohol busts not amounting to anything.
It seems the school administration was too busy trying to collect the dough the Little Johnny Gangbangers were worth from the state and federal bean counters that they didn’t bother to worry about how the illegal, and expulsion worthy, activities might effect the education of the other students who are there to, you know, learn something.
Ain’t free great!
HALLELUJAH ! There is hope. These kids should be proud of themselves. So should we.
You mean there are children who actually expect to learn something related to academics at a school?
How– how– how elitist!

But seriously, Woodshop is still for making bongs. 😉
