First of all, I must start with HAB checks. I understand that they are nececcary because parents do need to know what kids are doing in school and what they have for homework. It also makes sense to punish kids if their parent doesn't see their HAB. What doesn't make sense is for the school to spend $1500 of it's money to buy kids more crap they don't need. It just doesn't make sense. $1500 bucks that the school could use for other important stuff like, hmm, an updated computer lab is being wasted on some expensive prize that only one kid in the school receives and then some more money is spent on some stupid candy, etc. that kids also don't need. I also feel that the months it takes to save up for whatever expensive item I want makes that item more enjoyable and teaches me the value of the dollar.
Moving on, yesterday was the first day of the semester, and as such we had an assembly. I congratulate the school on having the bleachers installed, and also congradulate them on making one of the HAB Check Prizes be a seat on the bleachers. However, I think it's FREAKING STUPID that right after deciding to use $1500 to give kids crap, they ask for a fundraiser to get money. Gee, i wonder what they could have used that $1500 for instead of the HAB prizes, and I thought that these fundraisers couldn't get any more stupid! I refuse to participate in this idiotic charade they call fundraisers, and instead would rather just walk into the office and hand them a check for $20 which the school will get all of and not just half. I, for one, am not accepting the prize from their raffles if I win, which I won't because I won't enter the raffle if I have a choice about it. I hope I'm not the only one that feels this way about our school's weird business sense.

Yup. I totally agree. I tried telling student council. But they didn't care. They just kinda laughed at me. It's like, do you get paid to go to school? And it's also parents' responsibility to know what education their children are receiving.
Totally True~!!! i mean...a freaking ipod?!?! almost every1 already has one, and the one they are giving out isn't even that good! besides, bribing kids to do stuff, when we don't even have the money is STUPID!!
on monday...did you see all those SEVENTH GRADERS IN THE BLEACHERS?!?!? Jeez! They have their chance next year!
I am GLAD that people in the school actually have this kind of point of view!
Sometimes, it seems that most of us just fall for what everybody says..
Nice Article buddy!
Oh yes!
Comments make us feel special. :D
I noticed that in the speech they said the kids are responsible for getting good grades. Well, if they are, why does everyone put so much emphasis on having parents constantly checking what their kid is doing? That's a strange meaning for the word responsibility.
Whoever you guys are, you should think about writing an article for the website!
