Ohio high school rules their own cheerleader outifts violate dress code Posted: 3 months ago by Moe
Superintendent said "The skirts the cheerleaders wear are very short, and very tight...You want to have students wear appropriate clothing during the educational period of the day, and then after school, wear the appropriate clothing for the event"
So it's apparently OK to wear sleazy school supplied uniforms at a game, but not in math class...

Students Who Support Demoted Principal Suspended (I was in this) Posted: 11 months ago by cycostinkoman
I wouldn't normally post a news story like this, but I was part of this. We got a letter in the mail Friday saying that our principal was demoted and they said nothing more. So all the students got together and said to wear all black, and to sit in intersection of the math and science hallways in our school before our first hour, and dont move.
I was one of the people there for the sit-in (no I wasnt one of the suspended). Around 200 kids showed up, and for such a small school, it was incredible.
The case is under review, and from what I hear (not a student rumor, this is from a teacher) is that one of the people in another high leadership position is the person that got him in trouble, and they never saw eye to eye.

Students dumb, but feeling good about it Posted: 1 year ago by dollyllama
Without any responsibility laid on the shoulders of the apathetic and the lazy, their claims that "they don't need to learn any of this stuff for the real world" are becoming reality in our school system, while the rest of the world excels. Without consequences, America is becoming a country of no consequence at all.
