DEAR SCHOOL DISTRICT: you have ruined our school!

(this is a speech that i wrote and read to the school board on 9-27-10)  

you probably remember me as i am standing right before you once again to stand up for my rights as a student. I'm pretty sure you also remember a great number of other students who used to come and who are not here with us tonight, and i will tell you why!!! First, students are disillusioned. I talk to students who ask me what's the point of standing up for themselves. They tell me that they did so many things in which you did nothing. They came to all the school board meetings, and you did nothing. They walked out to stand up for their students rights, and you still did nothing. We filed a lawsuit in which we were victorious but you are still doing nothing!! So when students ask me what's the point, I honestly don't know what to tell them because i don't know if you will ever listen to us. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.
   Also,  there are other students who like the 6-period schedule better, but don't get too happy yet, because you will not like their reasons why. They really like the 6-period schedule because class time is so much shorter that they feel that they do not have to do work, and they feel that they can get away with not learning anything. Since teachers are busy doing topic after topic, and also because they do not have enough common planning time to talk about their students, they cannot have a teacher and student bond, and that just ruins the spirit of the school. Students know that they will not be haunt down for not doing the right thing in class, so they do not care. And once again, this is because of your schedule change. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.
   Finally, I want to touch upon a topic, which is also the main reason of why we are here, and that is because you are  not following the law. Last year we had the moral right on our side, but this year we also have the legal right on our side. We filed a legal challenge which said that you cannot under any circumstances reduce common planning time at our school because it went against the regions regulation.
Deborah Gist which is the commissioner of education, ruled that the schedule you implemented is in violation of the law, and we are here to call attention to that. You are breaking the law, and ruining our school, and you still do nothing. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY!!!
