separation, of boys and girls in school. Options

[sweetxpinay_0910...]

At our school we are separated by boys and girls in the courtyard in the mornings and by tables at lunch. This gives us no time to converse with our guy friends. The separation for lunch has gone on for years. But the 30 minutes in the courtyard that we get has just recently happened [january 5th] and protests have started, parents are screaming, mosh pits and riots have also began.

I was wondering if you agree with this. AND. how to properly protest, without getting suspended like other students have.

Our school was put on the news and internet.

Are you kidding me?
Gender separation? That's gotta be a joke.
I would switch to a normal school.

WHAT?! Wow. That's ridiculous - what's they're reasoning? You should try to start a petition or something. Or get as many kids as you can and try to convince them to not go to school for awhile or something.

[sweetxpinay_0910...]

We started 5 petitions...over 400 kids signed. The teachers didn`t listen. So we started making fliers, threats, wearing all white, skipping classes, etc. most parents disagree with it, too and they argued. It`s a public school yet they`re separating us, and we never see each other, the 4 minutes in between classes is the only time we really can...

man, that is so cruel. ask a parent to talk with the principal? iono.

Gender seperation?? WTF? switch schools!
why dont u ALL switch schools? then there wouldnt be any students following that stupid routine.

[lovescream]

I think this should go under debate. But anyhoo, no. Gender seperation is wrong. Us girls and them boys need some love.

[BrooKie]

o man. thats crazy. i would prolly go to another school.

[espressive]

That's outrageous! My school doesn't separate the sexes unless it's for changing rooms in gym, which is fairly logical. Our school doesn't allow hugging or whatever, but the students still do it and nobody gets in trouble for doing so.

i'm begging yu... SWITCH SCHOOLS! lol wut if yu have a "thing" for a guy and u can nvr see him omfg thats so mean lol

[Euphoria Rose]

That is the most stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Gender separation? That is unbelievable. Start a petition and disobey the rules of the separation and all mix together.

Gender Seperation? That's really messed up. You should have the right to see your guy friends. Keep your head up high & continue doing what's right.

[*stephinika*]

that's stupid. why would your school do such a ridiculous thing?

[HelloSunshine]

wow...that's definetely not right to seperate genders! It's like being biost...hmm..well maybe you could write essays and submit them to the principal...or..make a petition...yup good luck! that's just outrageuos

[lilnatcat]

Thats not appropriate to separate genders. Wow......this is like...........so unexpecting and suprising.........I have never heard nything this riduculous in my life!

[JoeLII]

omg...wt kind of culture is that...-.-|||...reeeediculous

Instead of taking to the teachers about it, I think you should go to a higher power, such as the Board of Education. Usually teachers just follow what the prinipal says, and he follows the Board of Education.

Well, the government (what do they know?) says that girls learn better in classes with no boys, and boys learn better in classes with no girls. So, maybe they're looking out for your acedemic future? I mean, I think that they should let you be kids and hang out with whoever you want, but.. that's just me.

^^ thats prolly true, but what if girls talk or whatever the same thing they do with the guys in a just girls class and they dont learn better?

and i think its stupid. IMO, the girls can be gay or bi and get the gay marriages populations go up. you should move to a differnet school so you can hang out or talk to your boyfriend or guy friends.

[hiromi]

They're seperating genders in school?! Are your teachers MAD or something?! THAT IS INSANE! O_O! I say you should talk to the board of education, because you have no right to be seperated

what the HELL? that made NO sense...

placing genders apart isn't new with public schools. i read a news thing (yes, i can read now!) and it said how gender separation is a good thing b/c a guy's and girl's mind works differently (no shit). it's from last year, so it's kind of dated.

i think it's stupid. it just is.

[*salcha*]

RIDICULOUS.
start a petition, dont use profane language, dont start riots, dont start strikes/protests/and etc

talk to the principal...list your reasons and stuff.
i did this at my old shcool when we were against something, and they changed the rule. :)

like what the article said, compromise with her and DONT FIGHT OR ARGUE. that just lessens your chance of having it your way.

[Chii]

you can't get suspended for protesting, that's one of your constitutional rights

it doesn't matter if you get suspended or put in jail for standing up for what you believe in, if you want change, then you can't just sit there and obey their stupid rules

[runforfun529]

Gosh that is... stupid. about 50% of my friends are guys and my best friend is a guy and thats like saying, oh you can't even hang out with your best friend during lunch or anything.
