my school is homestead senior high in homestead Florida; because some students decided to fight in our school are principle (Mrs. Kerri Maysonet) has emailed all teacher and staff to stop issuing passes not in case if an "extreme emergency " also she ordered to remove all vending machines, are pizza that was had to be bought will no longer be sold in school and all of are breakfast has changed to just cereal and milk and are lunch has become a cold sandwich; if any can help me out I need Ideas and help from the internet community , and anyone who might have power out there ( some sort of voice) please help my school ; also I am a senior in my school and there鈥檚 rumors about maybe canceling all senior events, any help would help. Thank you!My school has stoped all events, feeding methods , and ways to help students,what can i do in retaliation? ?
It is not up to you to retaliate. Retaliation means that you will be conducting a type of warfare.



Speak tg your parents about getting the Parents Association involved. Many teachers may also object to some of these methods. Your district Superintendent may be contacted.



Finally, I am not sure that we have the entire story. Your Principal may have some information that leads him to take drastic measures to avoid fights and injuries./
Bring it up at a PTA meeting, that the Achieving students will not stand for this kind of outrage.





Tell the school that the test scores WILL drop in retaliation.

That alone should get the teachers/principal stirred up.My school has stoped all events, feeding methods , and ways to help students,what can i do in retaliation? ?
The only thing which may work is for your student council to work with the principle to address not only these new rules, but the fights.



Many schools are now doing what is called "peer mediation" -- basically a program where students help one another solve problems through talking.




I think this letter from a graduating senior is embarrassment enough for the school.My school has stoped all events, feeding methods , and ways to help students,what can i do in retaliation? ?
I agree, bringing it up at a PTA meeting is a good idea, or a school council meeting.

But threatening to lower your test scores? That's a bit ridiculous, and to actually do that would be really stupid.



You can always try civil disobedience or boycotting-- an example is to refuse to purchase any food from the school and bring it all from home. Encourage other students to feel the way that you do, that quality is dropping.



But consider the fact that the economy is bad. Maybe your school is making these decisions to save money.



The best thing to do is figure out why these changes are being made, and plan your actions after that.
I think you and your parents should be more concerned about your writing abilities which are sorely lacking.It is unfortunate that you don't seem to be aware of how ill prepared for any sort of higher education you are with your language skills. I believe you should talk to your parents about your concerns and at that time please show them this question.I would think they would contact your teacher at the very minimum.
Hmmm...it sounds like the the vending machines and breakfast stuff might have more to do with budget cuts than fighting...i



Either way, get the PTA involved, or go with some other students to the next school board meeting (find the date from your districts website) and bring it up. You could also write an editorial letter to your local newspaper, or contact a local TV station to cover the story.
