I think my son just wobbled his middle school
New principal started the new semester and changed passing periods from 7 minutes to 5. For the band students this was very tough because their instruments are stored in one part of the school, the band classroom is in another part and then kids are also all spread out.
So my boy started talking with other students and found out several were getting write ups for being late. After finding out so many students had problems he tried to talk to principal and principal said they should be able to get place to place in the 5 minutes.
So my son then started a petition which got close to 100 signatures to change the 4 passing periods that involve the band class hours. Then he managed to convince all these students to not come into their classrooms until the time that they used to be expected to be to class, the original 7 minute passing period.
That happened on Friday and the principal called him into his office. He told him that he now understands how hard it was to get from place to place and that he will change the 4 periods back to 7 minutes.
I was so proud you can’t even imagine. It was such a huge victory and I was trying to explain then why I support my union so much. I immediately got on website and ordered him the agitate, educate, organize shirt. I got myself some stuff too!! IBEW 271
