What is this Feeling?
Alright, I officially loath Ms. Campbell and Mr. Matthews. Apparently someone in my LINK group made a racially derogatory comment to someone, so my entire group got hauled into the principal's office to have a little chat with Ms. Campbell and Mr. Matthews. I don't have a clue who said what, so I don't even know exactly why I was there, and it was pretty offensive all in all to be treated like I was some sort of naughty child. I mean, I've never been to the principal's office in my life (well, technically, counseling office), and to be called in front of the entire high school, in the middle of lunch? To be chastized for something I didn't do? To be stressed out for no reason whatsoever, and enfuriated for the rest of the day? Unacceptable. Honestly, how can the administration tell us all how important respect is, and then hypocritically turn around and treat us like this? Obviously, I'm not in a very good mood right now. Sorry to rant on about this to all of you, but I need to vent somewhere. And Riah, thanks for listening to me explode earlier, it really helped.

Helping is good. I think I'll make a video of the angry song and post it on here for even more laughs.
And counselors are dumb. Except for when they're Hannah.
REBELLION!
I say we rebel against the no-homework rule. Want to help me write a petition?
~UC1~
no-homework rule? what's that?
The access thing.
oh. Yeah totally! Let's petition.
That is so dumb! Do they have any idea how much time we spend on homeowrk per night, and how much time we don't have for it with extracurricular activities??? Of course not! And thus they're totally oblivious to how much that hour would help us!!!
REBELLION!
Resolved: That the rule about not doing homework during access is unfair.
Terms:
Rule: Method of behavior students are required to follow.
Homework: Work assigned by teachers to do outside of thier class.
Access: The period between fourth and sixth on Thursdays.
The administration says that we need to read for fun. They recognize that we won't read for fun at home, however, they fail to recognize the reason for that: All our time is consumed by doing our homework since we have no free period in which to do it. Not allowing students to do thier homework during Access is a deliberate attempt to take away the agency and rights of the student body and is all-around harmful. If we were allowed to do homework during Access, it would allow time at home that we could use to read.
If the school wants to make sure that it's students are reading for pleasure, a far more effective method would be to assign an hour of reading every week in English class.
The school must resolve this grand injustice and allow students the study time that they need. Only then will students read for fun more.
You're been in debate how long?
