Strike!
Hey! There is a strike in my school district and the students are striking back! Monday, if we're not back in school, some of the students are showing up and striking too! Basically this has nothing to do with us and we dont like being involved and punished for something that has nothing to do with us! They are taking all of our breaks (including christmas! we actually have school on Christmas EVE!!!) and snow days and summer will be shorter, ect. 200+ students did a walkout duirng 4th pd on the last day becfore the strike so I know we can do it! But my questions are first has nayone done something like this before? 2nd Tips/suggestions/ideas more the better
Thanks sooo much!
PS i already have asked some of my friends and i know they're coming but how do i get EVERYONE involved? Im not at school so I don't know how many people are coming really. (there are 800 kids in my grade alone!)
Thanks again and i will rate helpful suggestions/ideas and all that!

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I did something like this when the school accused me of having drugs, when I really didn't. They searched me, interrogated me, and gave me a drug test. (which PROVED I was NOT doing drugs.) For a week or so, my friends wore signs that said, "Johanna is Innocent." (That was more of a joke- lol.) But I refused to come to school for a few days. Then, I learned that, you really can't fight the school like that. So instead, we wrote letters to the superintendent, board of education, and school alumni.
I think what you're doing is great. But beware- you can get into a lot of trouble for it. (I know that from experience.) I would suggest writing letters to the superintendent, board of education, and the school district about it. See if you can get tons of people to write a letter. BETTER YET- get your parents to complain to the school district. Parents really do have more power in this situation than you, because they are adults and they are the ones actually paying school taxes. But, you can help too! Write letters, create buttons with slogans and wear them, make signs and hang them up. Walk outs are okay, but again, they can get you in trouble. And to spread the word, try contacting people over the internet. (EX: myspace). Don't worry- I'm sure news will get around.
