I ha- ha.  For sure.  Lawyers will have a field day.  This is just the beginning.  Now whenever students get a hair up their ass... ....why was it ok to walk out over that  cause and not alright to walk out  over this cause.

Yep.  Already starting.  Students are making a joke out of all of this.  And good for them for doing so.  That's exactly what it is.  

My daughter:  "I'm having a bad hair day!  It's a walk out!!!!"  :lol:

Which, if history, and ALL OF HIS PREDICTIONS have told us anything, well...we know it's all fucked up.  But I'm sure him and his family feel like they are really championing the librul cause.

Ooops.

Here is the email we received.

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

Tomorrow, March 14th, has become a day for students nationwide to participate with a larger community to stand in support of school safety and remember their fellow students from Parkland, Florida.  Students at Buffalo Grove High School may be participating in this event as part of the national student-led effort following the tragic event in Florida and others preceding it. 

Safety is our top priority for this event, and we have been working with the Buffalo Grove Police Department to develop a safety plan for the day to ensure that those students who choose to exit the building are safe and protected.  It is important to note that this is a student-led, student only event. 

We will not prohibit our students from walking out during this scheduled event. However, we also are encouraging students to be respectful of their peers and school facilities. We have communicated this to them directly.

If students choose to walk out, we fully expect them to return to class as soon as it is over and to behave appropriately. We will not mark them absent unless they miss the majority of the class period. 

As always, the safety and security of students and staff is our priority. 

 

Sincerely, 


Principal Wardle

Re: March 14th 
 

Dear Parents/Guardians, 
 

As you may know, organizers of the Women’s March are promoting a “National School Walkout” at 10:00 a.m. on March 14th, 2018. The purpose, as stated, is to “demand Congress pass legislation to keep us safe from gun violence at our schools, on our streets and in our homes and places of worship.”  This National Walkout has been called in response to the tragic shootings that took place at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. 
 

Since learning of this National Walkout, I have been in close contact with our teachers, asking what they’ve heard about the walkout from our students.  I have also met with leaders of our Student Council. Additionally, I have met with any student who has wanted to discuss the walkout.
 

While I believe that we all support creating safer schools, I recognize there are a variety of ways in which this can be accomplished.  As the principal, I believe the best way to prevent violence in schools is by establishing a safe and nurturing environment for students and staff by focusing on positive relationships.   
 

Our emphasis on relationships began long before the first day of school as suggested by the following efforts: 

  • Prior to the students returning to school in September, I challenged our staff to focus on creating relationships with our students for the first three days of school instead of jumping into the curriculum!

  • Our administration and student services department also implemented Link Crew this year, a transitional support program designed to ease the transition of incoming 9th graders by empowering and supporting upperclassmen to support our 9th graders throughout the school year.  

  • The District has also expanded its excellent cadre of Student Services Staff at the high school to include: two School Counselors, two Social Workers, and one School Psychologist.  While some of these positions are shared across the District, they are always working to support our students!

After hearing from our students, staff, and other educational leaders across the state, we have decided to allow students to exercise their objection to the tragic loss of life and violence in our schools with their peers if they so desire.  However, we ask that they keep in mind the following: 

  • Anyone participating in the walkout must do so peacefully, without causing a disruption to our learning environment.

  • We ask that any student participating in the walkout gather in the courtyard, nearest the student parking lot.  

  • We ask that students participating in the walkout return to class for the start of 4th period (10:28am).   

  • Anytime a student is absent from class, they are losing out on important learning opportunities.  Students will need to make arrangements for the work/content missed during the time they miss.


While a peaceful protest can stand for a variety of purposes, as educators, we would like to encourage students to think and act locally.  Some ways we would like to see our students act locally include:

  • Walk-up and support those in need; talk with someone you normally don’t talk to.

  • Express their viewpoints and concerns with local elected official.

  • Share with our student leaders and staff any concerns and suggestions for improving the culture at WHS.  

  • Be mindful of the words you use and THINK (Is it True? Is it Helpful? Is it Inspiring? Is it Necessary? Is it Kind?) before you speak.

  • Reach out to those you care about.  

  • Celebrate our differences - challenge yourself by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes.  


To support our students through this process, we’re asking that our parents also talk with their children about this day and the learning opportunity events surrounding it.  Here is an excellent resource for parents, “ Talking to Children About Violence: Tips for Parents and Teachers”, by the National Association of School Psychologists.   
 

As always, if you have questions about the information in this letter or anything related, please give me a call

Our school district put out a statement last night saying the walk out was not sanctioned, approved or organized by the district and now kids are being marked absent for missing classes. :lol:

Pretty clear this stunt to promote a political agenda has completely backfired.  There’s no doubt in my mind the parents questioning the motives and the students pushing for their own “Constitutional Rights” walk out is putting this all in the reverse slot.

To quote a very regarded member here:  Ooooops.

 

Looks like Zambo the clown lives in a shithole district compared to you two.  Not surprised in the least.

You have TDS?   I'm not surprised but I'm not sure why you are telling everyone that you have tiny dick syndrome. 

It's pretty easy to guess that way you get all puffed up and pretend you are tough.
