Striking Against! School Interfering with Our Outside Lives

Since when was it okay for year coordinators and teachers to tell us how we use facebook, msn, myspace, whatever else?

Seeing as facebook and all other social networking sites are blocked on school computers, I think it's appropriate that school has no part in what we do outside of school on computers that actually allow facebook to be accessed.

Another thing, I don't understand how we can be threatened with detentions over weekend behaviour. If some people decide to actually have fun on weekends, how does the school come into it? At any point? Ever.

And why, why do cranky members of the public always decide to call the school when one school girl is too loud, or doesn't give up their seats on a bus? They complain that 'younger generations have no respect', well, darling, you raised us. And what was that phrase I've heard you repeat about one billion times? Oh yeah, life isn't fair, so get over it lady. Chill out. Calm down. Go have a nap.

Strike out kiddies.
