Like I said:
Erk! How do I respond to that??
Though like the other thing I said, 'rights' wasn't the the best word, I know that a school can never be a democracy - it wouldn't work, but... well, they can't ignore us!! I mean, I sometimes feel that students are a bit more capable of independant thought than some people give credit for. Anyway, part of the reason there is so much voter apathy seems to be the loss of faith among young people that their ideas can make a difference.

It's taken a long time and a lot of effort, but finally we're getting somewhere. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

Well, so would you be if you'd lost carpal tunnel status to a mixup over noms-de-plume!

No offense bonzaialsatian, but don'tcha think that your other peers would sooner visit an anti-establishment site like... jazzrumblers.orgor deathtofalsemetal.comYou could then give them your unhip messages about pratical matters after you've got them hooked.

Naw, it's like docs everywhere do: It's relabelled as something else, and that turns out to be incurable instead. Such as the move from RSI to OOS. Sounds better, I guess. And the original stops turning up in the "We dunno how to fix that" stats.

I haven't actually seen any sites with practical, more workable advice on the students' rights/freedom/speakandbeheard/tryingtostayinoffensive issue - how'd I know it'd work or not 'till it's been tried? Anyway, it seems like a lot the people who go on the really extremist-seeming sites are either not really serious about change and just wanna seem cool, or have an interesting record of teacher assault and exclusions. (Note I didn't say all)

Well, thanks for sharing your opinion, I think! He asked for a name suggestion, not how you felt. You could have at least given him a name. Just because you didn't have students' rights, that doesn't mean the rest of us were without them. It's good to use your brain occassionaly. You should try it.
