You can do a petition any time you want. Anyone can! But it just shows who supports something. If everyone signs something saying "We deserve a half day of school every Friday" no one needs to do anything about it. It is just a recommendation.

Mimi, lol...I think it might be better than having them hanging around the rest of the day with nothing to do.  Some schools do have a policy that seniors can leave after their classes are done to work, attend a voctech or college classes.  GBU

Most of these kids wanted a day off from school.  What is this all about - waving the Mexican Flag.  That sure sends a good, clear message.  They like Mexico better than America - if they like Mexico so much - send them back there.\n\nI was fine with the protests until they all started pulling out the Mexican Flag.  Go home.

I think it is going to get to where one day the police are not going to be able to do anything just like the teachers inthe schools these days. Same!

I took a quick glance at it and it still seems similar to the regulations that are already in place here in Massachusetts.\n\nMany of my special education parents are involved...some are TOO involved.  Unfortunately there are many as well that are not invested.  \n\nI do think it is important to keep parents involved and up to date with their child's educational concerns.  It is a crucial role in the meeting for you ALL to agree on the appropriate accommodations/modifications necessary for a child to succeed.  However, I do feel that there are some parents who hold their child back from succeeding because they are scared.  For example, this coming school year I would like to take my small group students in my math class (all 3 of them) into the regular education setting.  I have a rough feeling that one particular parent will not allow this.  Why...I don't know.\n\nI feel that IDEA is giving parents more and more rights/responsibilities.  Perhaps in the future it will look at schools as well and give them equal rights.  It seems that the parents are driving the force behind many choices legislature and administration are creating.

Lockdowns at our school simply involve shutting off the lights, locking the doors and getting down low. I usually quietly read a story to the kids to entertain them while we do it.\n\nIt's nothing to worry about, and your school will explain the procedure.

immigrants who are for it are going to walk out of thier jobs, immigrants are not going to go to school and not buy anything. They want to see, what happens if those people are not in the states and to see the impact on US economy.

Represent the Latino community with pride and honor. People will expect us to riot and go nuts but show them that we are BETTER than their stereotype. \n> \n> **May 1st will be the day without Latino!!!\n> \n> REPOST THIS IF YOU'RE DOWN FOR YOUR PEOPLE or IF\n> YOU AGREE WITH WHAT WE FEEL AND BELIEVE remember that this Law is for ALL RACES not only Latinos.\n>\nMy family is doing this!!!\n\nAnd for all the ignorant people who still cannot grasp the fact that US is made up of IMMIGRANTS, here is a little lesson:\n1st of all for the young lady that stated that the pilgrims had to learn English... that's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! are you kidding me? so they had to learn English to communicate with the Native Indians who of course spoke English right?  and for all these people who continue to stress the fact that it doesn't matter that these people are merely looking for a better life, they are still illegal, well what do you call the pilgrims massacring the native Americans for the land? whas that was very legal? c/mon people this whole country is built on Illegal acts. lets not be hypocrites. oh and for the stupid people who keep referring to "Mexicans" as the problem when it comes to "illegal Immigrants" please educate yourself so you don't sound completely stupid. Mexicans are not the only illegal immigrants in this country you have Asians, Latinos, Africans, the list goes on and on oh and Latinos can mean Puerto Rican, Cuban, Guatemalan, Salvadorian, etc. so please people before you begin to comment on a topic make sure you watch some news and know what your talking about so you don't sound too stupid.

There is going to be a march on Monday May 5th 2006 near Vero Beach.  My entire workplace will be closing because the entirety of the kitchen staff will be participating in the march for immigration rights.  I am also having trouble finding information as to exactly where it is going to be held.  But I know I have the day off because of it.

Here in California they are deffinatlly bottom rung. They are putting out test after test and makeing our education the only thing that is immportant in our lives. Our entire future is now based upon what is set on a computer and wether it is good or bad determines wether or not we will have an actual life and be important or life in a trailer and never be successful in anything. Not only that but the tests have gone out of hand. No other state tests their children as much as California does and it is really uncalled for. They have transformed school were it used to be fun but now it is just torture and such. They make it so we are afraid to go and have no life, I can't even come home to spend time with my parents. I come home, run to my bedroom, do my homework for hours then go to bed. No time for anything else becuase we have to study and study and study and do never ending homework which the teachers pile upon you. The school's dont even care about thier studants. If a studant is failing they don't care and only send that kid to detention and such but never try and actually help the kid. The school system is so messed up here and it is geting worse due to the new tests that are being added to determine if we will even be allowed to go to collage after graduation and also how they cut the wages to spend on the schools so that a lot of teachers have to get fired. Another major problem here is the schools being completly over crouded. I have about 40 kids in each of my classes that are only men't to hold aproximatly 20 studants. This place has problems and they refuse to fix them. Mabey if they just listened to the studants and helped fix the problems then the grades for every studant and the study habits will all improve. But until then, more and more studants are going to fail and only the rich and the super smart are going to be able to get to collage which is happening in California already.

if there would be a child in a public school who would take drugs, steal, etc. etc. all after hours, the principal would have the full authority and right to expel this child from school, being that what is done after hours can have and does have an effect on the friends of this child in school. now being that in this private school there are certain standards, they don't want other kids to be influenced by such behaviour, and therefore although i'm not comparing what this girl is doing to drugs, however the concept is the same.

You talk because you don't know what it is to be in their shoes. They sure have rights; they have families here then it becomes a problem. that is why they protest. You talk like this because you need education. Your illiterate. You don't even make sense, just because they don't talk English. Please. R you for real. Just because they don't talk English doesn't mean they cant protest. Go back to school!!!!!!!!!.Some people come here because they need money urgently for their hungry families and school is the last thing they could think off in a situation like this.

Technically, if she prevents you from leaving the classroom via a method of restraint or causes physical harm in doing so this is illiegal retraint and is punishable by law.  If this is a public institution, then you need to take this to the Superintendent of Schools or to your states education board.\n\nCalling the student Gay is called defaming and is illegal due to harrassment laws.  \n\n\nThe announcement of grades in in direct violation of the Student Right to Privacy of Education Records and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).\n\nIf this teacher is being as rude and horrible as you state, you need to appraoch the State Education and licensing board (heck your state website for information.  Personaly, it seems that this teacher is preying on the the fact that students tend to know less about their rights than adults and is using fear to coerce students.  \n\nYou will want to visit this site for more information:\n\nhttp://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/prevention.html\n\nThey also offer a reporting service, but you may want to read the whole thing first.

They should loose tax dollars!! I'd pull my child out of the school, and enroll him in a private school. The act that you speak of happened in CA. The principal should have his noggin re-adjusted, what the hell was he thinking? I incenses me to no end that that inept SOB, let it occur. It is grossly disrespectful, and an open act of provocation. That's not what my family, nor myself, served for. I would expel those responsible for the remainder of the year. I remain, ALL AMERICAN, ALL THE TIME!  VIVA LA MIGRA!\nJester that "piece of cloth" represents everything I believe in. All gave some, some gave all for Old Glory. To disrespect the US flag, is to disrespect all who love it, salute it, and revere it.
