HPHS RECONSTRUCTION!

On tuesday, May 10th, 2011 about  300 students walked out of Huntington Park High School to protest against major changes the school board has planned for the school , some of these changes include that teachers and staff are to re- apply for their jobs.  The students walked 10 miles  to LAUSD head quarters, they were accompanied by  about 10 teachers and police cars.  I personally agree with the speaking out part because it is important that our voices be heard, but this rash action of 300 hundred students walking out when only 3 were allowed to actually talk only made us look more reckless and rebellious. I personally believe that the walkout shouldve been more organized and meetings should've been held with students to vote on what actions were necessary so that the school board would've taken us more seriously  .It is important that students speak up for the school and show how much we care of our school. Taking this decision about changing our school without student or parent opinions is completely  unacceptable, I believe that the school board should've organized a meeting at our school and talk to our parents and students about what they had planned for us.
