Troutfisher Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Don't worry hook, just like in the thread about hiring teenagers he has forgoten that he was a kid once. And I'm sure he never did like this and was the ideal adolescent. x2 Fight the good fight Hookemdown!

tyrius. Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 The only rights you have in school are those granted by the administration. Sorry, this is factually incorrect.
tyrius. Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 And the people who do own the walls said you could not put it there. Who actually owns the walls of a school? It certainly isn't the principal. I doubt that he'd be able to afford the mortgage on a place that large on an administrators salary.
slomoe Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 I'm surprised that I'm not seeing more "well, if you have nothing to hide...." comments : Believe me, I know how you feel.

It certainly isn't the principal. I doubt that he'd be able to afford the mortgage on a place that large on an administrators salary. But it is the principal who is tasked with being the steward for those walls. It is his job to run the school, keep lunatics from shooting it up, keep test scores high, keep parents from calling the school board, and stroking egos at the Board of Ed. Admit it, he took actions you felt were unfair, he got you riled up, you posted the 4th amendment to stick it in his face. Granted it is MUCH better than many other avenues you could have taken. The staff should not have helped you out in this. IMO, best way to do this, go to his office, just you and him face to face, and respectfully tell him how you feel. If he ignores you, go to a school board meeting with your parents and as many students as you can muster. They are politicians they HATE having lots of people screaming at them. 9 times out of 10 they will force the principal to some middle ground (provided you can come to some). Putting the 4th amendment up though like that, it forces him to escalate. The "system" does work, you just have to know how to work it. Honestly, your principal has more important things to worry about, If you give him or the school board a way to settle this and move on without locking horns with them, they will take it. Good luck though, and really do not take it too personally, you will be out of there before you know it and everything will change faster than you believe it.

Anyways, I was just trying to clear up some inaccuracies. I do agree that the issue could have been handled better, but Hookem is still in high school and allowed mistakes. The principal should know better than to threaten the students as he did.
done Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 yeah, that was a bit harsh. The principal is not in high school and he should have enough experience to deal with his students. Heck I have been out of school since 1993 and I would not go pulling the police into it. Neither would my principal. Mr Slavin (Or principal was scarier than the police anyway).
