My high school(and i freaking graduated in 22) by multiple people of authority we had been individually and collectively told, "when you walk through those doors, your rights are gone." we had petitions ignored, entire waves of concerned voices silenced by teachers and faculty. Yet when the kiss ups that numbered a dozen at most, wanted something to change the principals and teachers practically fought for them to be heard out by the board. We had students sweating all day in a room with no A/C in the Fall, outside would be 90+ and inside 100+ that room. we petitioned 1/3 if not half of the school to just have it fixed or reprioritized on the county maintenance schedule after it went 2 weeks straight without being fixed or any words of plans to. As soon as we'd turn petitions in or approach the office in groups to show our united agigtation with what goes on we'd be threatened with disciplinary action. One teacher was real and actually hated the way the school did things and he told us plain and simple how they did things. "They don't care what the students have to say. Even if you make it Hell for them, they'll fight tooth and nail simply because to them, you're kids, not young adults." When we had teachers who saw us as Young Adults and treated us as such things made much more sense, we were far more willing to go the extra mile to complete our studies and we overall just had a much more environment going on, even class clowns would calm down. The only thing they ever listened to a student about was when one girl had a problem with the shortness of male athletes cooldown outfit, as most of us(not me though, seemed gay) wore shorter shorts to cool off after weight room or a period of in school practice. She didn't ask students to stop doing that, she didn't speak to the coaches to speak to the players she said fuck all of that and went to the board and because she was the kiss ass of all kiss asses, she had the principal (she loved people who brown nosed) to back her when she spoke to the board for days. She didn't ask anyone to "Hey, I understand you're all hot and sweaty after working out but could you wear shorts that go down to your knees or just above?" She just went on a karen rampage going 'it doesnt- blah blah'. Class of 2022 so this is still an ongoing stupidity issue with schools. Schools genuinely do not care what anyone outside the inner school district has to say, they act as if they were their own Micronation and God forbid you remind them otherwise. I know one student dove deep into law over something I honestly didn't pay attention about. She bought books, downloaded entire codes of law and wasnt doing it for attention, she barely talked about it unless asked but one day she said she was going in after school to present her case. I didn't bother her about it but she showed up for the next week or two very silent and looking at the floor all depressed. I don't know if they genuinely outplayed her legally or pulled some shady crap and threatened to fail her, I probably should've found out or maybe she told me and Ive forgot but thats as far as my memory goes. I'm inclined towards shady moves because she was incredibly brilliant, respectful and kind-hearted and I find it hard to fathom that after she spent a week or two of playing lawyer per sae, the principals she was meeting with shot her down or outplayed her without an actual lawyer present and I really don't think they knew she was coming in with such a heavy topic but they could've and I could just be misinformed on that last story.
