I did not pass, not because I did not study but because the whole examination set up was designed to ensure that only a handful of students pass. I knew that the examination was going to be difficult and therefore I prepared for it. The whole Unisa 2009 CTA program was to the disadvantage of the students right from the onset. 1. Supplementary examinations were scraped - the reason being that the Board is going to written in January 2010. However UKZN which had exams later is still going to have supplementary exams 2. The exams were written a month earlier than expected 3. Three papers were written in 3 consecutive days 4. Applied financial accounting and Applied auditing questions were too long and therefore did not assist students in answering the questions but only served to consfuse them 5. Some of the lectures misled students at the study schools and there were so passionate about how they marked our answer script wrong. It is clear from above that Unisa did not want people to pass and it still does not want students to pass. This is cemented by the fact that those students who failed one subject were given less than 1 week to prepare for the so called \\\'special exam\\\'. During the August Study school a certain lecture mentioned that Unisa was at a risk of losing its accreditation of providing CTA to students who want to persue the Chartered Accountacy profession. The reason being that South Africa Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) requires not less than 70% pass rate from each university. Unisa has been consistently underperforming during the previous years. Unisa had a pass rate of 58% in 2009, 48% in 2008 and 2007 for the first time students. Compare that with Wits\\\\\\\' pass rate of 91% in 2009, 96% in 2008 and 87% in 2007 and you will see what is at stake. Unisa therefore decided to make a lot of students fail so that it will limit those who will sit for 2010 Board exam. Unisa will benefit a lot since its pass rate for the SAICA board exam will increase to over 70% and at the same time it will have one more glorious year to charge the students study fees for those who did not make it. That\\\'s more money it is going to take away from poor students who cannot afford to leave work and go and study full time. It is high time for those who feel they are being prejudiced by Unisa to rise and fight. Its time someone take Unisa to court on its unfair practices. Its high time someone institue a commission of enquiry into Unisa conduct as regards to CTA results. Please sign the petition if you feel you were treated unfairly and let anyone who is in your position know about it. Unisa did not listern to our previous concerns. I think this time we must make Unisa listern. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/UNIGEMR080/ Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:0:39 CST Je suis opposé à l’occupation de l’aula MR080.

Under Option 3, Bowman Middle School, an East side school, is forced to attend a high school, Clark High School, that is not in a feeder pattern to Plano East Senior High, the high school that Bowman students will attend. This will put the Bowman students at a huge disadvantage when it comes to any extra curricular activities because the coaches and teachers of Clark High School will be preparing their students and athletes for Plano Senior High School. As well as being at a disadvantage, the Bowman students will also be \"outsiders\" when they return to Plano East High School because all of the other high school students attending Plano East High School will have been together for two years at the new McMillen High School. In addition to this, Plano East High School will lose close to 1000 students to the Central Cluster, forcing many of the fine arts and athletic programs to be at a huge disadvantage to the rest of the district. Our group, Keep East East, is supporting keeping Clark High School as a Plano East Feeder School and supporting keeping all East side schools in a pure feeder pattern through all East Side Schools. By signing this petition you are agreeing that East Side students should be kept in a pure feeder pattern to Plano East High School and that Clark High School should be kept as a Plano East High School feeder school, just as it is today. You are agreeing that all kids in the Plano Independent School District should be allowed the same 4 year experience through high school and senior high school. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/cellphonesinschools/ Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:0:08 CST Many people see cellular phones in school as a bad thing, however, people don\'t seem to see the educational use in cell phones. Students would pay more attention to class if they were to use cell phones.Cell Phones have an educational purpose. Cheating and bullying might occur, but that\'s going to happen either way. Foreign language classes are using cell phones as a way to judge the students\' speaking abilities in that secific foreign language. As it would be, cheating and bullying might occur. Even if cell phones are not incorporated into school, cheating and bullying would still exist.\"Kids cheat with pen and paper. They pass notes,\" said Kipp Rogers, principal of Passage Middle School in Newport News, Va., \"You don\'t ban paper.\" In one poll, more than 35 percent of teens admitted cheating with a cell phone. If teachers incorporated texts and pictures into classes, students would pay more attention and have more fun at school. Teachers that allowed cell phones in schools would be able to send text message reminders about homework and upcoming projects. Cell phones are especially helpful in foreign language classes because students can record each other speaking in that language. Pictures could be used to take notes. Videos could be used to record the day\'s lesson and show or send it to friends that were absent. Phones are so common now that seizing them is huge hassle for teachers. No matter what, cell phones are going to be allowed in school sooner or later, and we\'re just trying to make it happen sooner. Even if cheating and bullying occur through cell phones, its going to hapen and we cannot stop it. If we happen to allow cell phones, most likely, the cheating and bullying rate will dissipate and students will more likely abide by the rules. Also, detentions, suspensions, and expulsions will likely descend rapidly. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/goodlookingteachers/ Sat, 28 Nov 2009 04:0:14 CST We need more attractive male teachers!!!

Both pools will be destroyed, filled and covered foregoing any opportunity to reopen the pools at a latter date. Additionally and most importantly all of the Agoura and Calabasas High School Aquatics programs would be canceled, both Water Polo and all competitive Swimming programs will terminate. Please help let the LVUSD Board of Directors know that closing the pools at both LVUSD high schools is an unacceptable budget cut and that we firmly want to continue to have the pools and the aquatic programs as they are. We, the undersigned, call on the Las Virgenes Unified School District and its board of directors to discontinue considering the closure of the pools and termination of the aquatic programs at both Agoura and Calabasas High Schools. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/nosecondchance/ Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:0:48 CST I belive that forcing kids to stay afterschool agenst their will just because they forgot to do homework is harsh. ---------------------------------------------------- Added by: kabo96 on November 24, 2009, 6:50:34 pm ---------------------------------------------------- kids should not be punished for not ding homework.

You say that they end bullying over clothes, but you have basically started new ones. People are picked on because of how their belt looks, because khaki doesn\\\\\\\'t look well on them, even because they don\\\\\\\'t seem to wear it right. This is a lot of mutiny, and if we were at least allowed to wear jeans and a t-shirt, both of which you have forbidden, maybe things would look a lot better. And here is one other thing that bugs me: you identify us by the color pants we wear? That makes us feel very uncomfortable and worthless sometimes. ~Chester Middle School Cyclones http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/keepthebackpacks/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:0:39 CST Apollo High School has recently decided, out of the blue, that students, starting on January 4th, 2010, will no longer be able to carry and sort of bag or backpacks. They will be forced to have a locker, and carry their books around with them during school. This is unreasonable, as we students have been carrying backpacks and bags since Middle School. We have had the option of either a backpack or locker since then. Now, it is about to change, and I say, as a fellow Junior attending Apollo High School, that this is at the utmost importance that we do NOT let this happen. Please join me, and help me and yourself, and stop the new no-backpack rule! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/dorseyvillemusical10/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:0:21 CST We need to have a spring performance because there are many people that want to do it, and the fall performance isn\\\\\\\'t enough, because alot of people have activities during the Fall, so they can not be in the Fall Musical. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/dmsspring/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:0:26 CST We need to have a spring performance because there are many people that want to do it, and the fall performance isn\'t enough, because alot of people have activities during the Fall, so they can not be in the Fall Musical. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savebuddhiststudies/ Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:0:07 CST The undersigned students taking courses in the Buddhism, Psychology and Mental Health Program at New College, and in Buddhist Studies in the Department of Religion are concerned by rumors that Buddhist Studies is in trouble. We hear that two Religion professors in East Asian Buddhism are being recruited by another university in the U.S. The University of Toronto has in the past attempted to match such offers in order to retain world-class faculty. Up to today, however, we understand it has made no counter-offer to this valuable pair of teachers and research specialists in East Asian Buddhism and has even proposed to discontinue at least one of these positions altogether! This is not the way to promote diversity, and will strain the connections to the diverse Toronto Buddhist community that have been built up over the past few years. Indeed the loss of these two East Asian Buddhism professors will threaten the destruction of the vibrant and internationally renowned Buddhist Studies program, and students interested in such a program will go elsewhere. We ask that the University invest in the future and make every effort to keep these two here. If those efforts fail, we seek assurances that there will be a tenure-track replacement for the current tenure-track faculty member. We know that these are difficult times for the University, but we also know the Central Administration still has some discretion as to how to spend its resources. We encourage it to use that discretion wisely, and to Save Buddhist Studies! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stcats/ Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:0:53 CST The 7th grade is starting a petition to get more extracurricular activity\'s and dances .

She didn\'t even have to be told to do her homework. Joclynn made Honer Roll twice in one year and several times since. Her plan is to go to college and become an anesthesiologist. All of this can be ripped away from her because of a stupid mistake. When Joclynn was 15 years old one of her uncles gave her a knife to use for protection only. When she turned 16 and got her first car, her uncle insisted she carry the knife with her, so she threw it in the center console of her car. Now a year and a half later she had completely forgot about it when the High School she attended hired a company that train police dogs to come in and do random searches on the vehicals in the school parking lot. One of the dogs laid down next to her car and she was then asked if they could search her car and of course, not having anything to hide, she said that it would be fine. They believe the reason the dog chose her car was because of an Inhaler and Amoxicillion that she kept in her car at all times, both were prescribed to her by her family physician. And after finding the knife the next thing she knows she\'s suspended from school pending the school boards desision on whether to expel her from school indefinitely and stripping her right to graduate with her class. Her mother has already purchased her cap and gown. The same day all this happened she found out that she had been excepted into the Davenport College in Grand Rapids Michigan. She also worked for Don Rypma in Whitehall Michigan for two years and Baker College for two summers. She was in training and about to try out for a cheerleading position. This is not your run of the mill case, Joclynn is a very responsible and caring person. We all wish to protect our children and yes sometimes we go to far, but she did not know or even think about the law in this case. She\'s just a kid with a very bright future-If they don\'t take it away from her. Please help by signing this petition.

Most all Education majors agree that he is one of the strongest professors in the Education department and we are lucky to have him. We are signing this petition to officially voice our disagreement with the refusal to grant tenure to Dr. Jeremy A. Ervin. This petition will be sent to Dr. Richard F. Giese, school president and to Dr. Patricia Draves, Dean of College and vice president of academic affairs. Notes on Signing Petition: 1. Please explicitly indicate your affiliation with Mount Union College in the comments section. 2. Please refrain from negative comments towards the dean or any other MUC officials. Our goal is to get Professor Ervin the tenured position that he deserves, not to condemn anyone for following bureaucratic protocol. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/skc/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:0:06 CST To the students of Year 13 if you haven\'t already heard there are five students who have been told they cannot attend Graduation Dinner due to an incident where they turned over a concrete table tennis table, causing it to be damaged, and then went on to littering the school. They will be paying reparation for their part of the table tennis table and have already missed out on our year 13 fun activities after School finished for us. Some of those students also missed out on the special luncheon that was put on for us where we were presented with our ties and scarves. Even though these students made a mistake, these mistakes in context of their 5-7 years at Saint Kentigern College are quite small and why are they not graduating with the rest of us who have also made mistakes??? As a Year 13 2009 Family we ask that you stand up and support these fellow brothers of Saint Kents to have the right of passage that we all do and sign this petition in support of them attending the Graduation Dinner. If you too have made mistakes, which we all learn from then sign this petition as the students involved would fight in the trenches for you, like we should now fight in the trenches for them. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/AkibaBarrackTeachers/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:0:59 CST Dear Co-Alumni and other friends, I am writing to encourage you to support our Akiba-Barrack teachers as they negotiate with the School Board for a fair compensation and benefits agreement. As you may or may not be aware, the amazing teachers that we have had over the years make far less than industry average for teachers of their education and tenure. As I am sure that you do know, they do so because they love the students and they believe in the top-notch education provided by the school. The collective bargaining negotiations undertaken recently between the teachers and the board have not been met with agreement. I have set up an online petition which I ask that you sign, in support of the teachers and their commitment to resume teaching as quickly as possible. I myself was not eager when my parents told me that I would be attending high school at Akiba. I had attended a public junior high school and had already built my network of friends there; at the age of 13, I recall that this seemed the most important consideration. Looking back, however, I certainly realize how lucky I was to have this first class education. I experienced memorable bible stories brought alive by Rabbi Steve Stroiman, developed my passion for math in Mrs. Shrager and Mrs. Perez’s classes, and was pushed to produce the best writing that I could in Mrs. Schuman’s class. Many other teachers at Akiba-Barrack contributed greatly to my education and many others contribute with the same enthusiasm to the education of today’s students. In retrospect, the education that I received at Akiba was an integral force in making me who I am today, building to my confidence and professionalism. I am working towards my Executive MBA, and have a successful career as Product Marketing Manager for a leading stock option software and administration company in Calgary, Alberta; I believe that Akiba’s teachers played a huge role in my success. Since moving on from my own education at Akiba, I have come across many people in my experiences - but I can honestly say that I have not seen many more dedicated and passionate people than the teachers at Akiba. My mother has been a teacher at Akiba-Barrack for almost 20 years; she is always telling me of the exciting new tools that she is using in the classroom, the new course outline she has planned for the coming semester, the classes she herself is taking to ensure she is up-to-date on all the latest to share with her students. She is not required to do all of these things, but wants to out of her desire to make the classes she teaches the best they possibly can be. All of this hard work and commitment should be fairly recognized. With the teacher’s union now on strike, I am learning that some things are not, in fact, quite as fair as they should be. I think most would agree that though the old Akiba building may be extremely nostalgic to many of us, it is great that the students of today have a new and upgraded building to enjoy their education. Yes, it is great to have a new structure and facility and to have a hard-working administrative staff, but if this comes at the expense of the teachers’ benefits, it may not be the best for the school and its current student body. As many of us are removed from the intricacies of a teacher’s world, I will outline some facts which I have recently learned: • The teachers are not paid while on strike, and their health insurance coverage is terminated during this time • Though the current proposal is for no salary increases in the first of a three year contract, the teachers are willing to agree to this term even though they are now contributing more of the health insurance premiums – meaning they will take home less net pay • The main sticking point is the reduced pension contributions proposed by the board – to you and I pensions are not likely a norm, but in a private school where the salaries are 15% lower than they should be, this is a major benefit which they rely upon to secure their retirement – this is what helps to keep great teachers at Akiba-Barrack • A teacher at Akiba with a PhD makes barely $60,000, while some administrators working at the same school with a much lower education make easily twice that amount • Another underlying issue behind these negotiations is the sense that the school board is trying to break up the teachers union – the union is in place to protect the teachers’ benefits and some may consider teaching elsewhere if the union is not there to represent their interests The quality of the education afforded by Akiba-Barrack is at stake and I strongly urge you to join me in supporting the teachers that have given their time and their hearts to developing us as successful young adults. Yours sincerely, Neta Rosenkrantz-Pyasi http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/mathboring/ Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:0:16 CST I think that the questions on my math books are too easy, too useless and most importantly, POINTLESS. I mean all the things that they are asking me is for first graders, I learned all of those in 1st grade! My friends and I agree that the reason only dum people or nerdy geeks likes math is because it\'s either too easy and they think their so smart, or for nerds case, they have advanced into a higher math level. Not excactly what the so called adult writters planned. I mean, the school\'s principal in my school claimed that we have new math books this year, but the questions were excactly the same as last years, only stupidder. I mean, I\'m on Vancouver, BC, a place known for where Chinese People usually move to, and they are really smart, like REALLY smart, and the goverment gives us what? Easy math books like as if he/she thinks that kids in elementary are that dum. Its just descrimination! Now parents, you want your kids to have a good college degree right? Well, if you sign this petition, your kids will do math in school based not only on their grade level, but how good they can comprehend in math at their own level.

PRESIDENT ROMAN AND THE BOARD OF REGENTS TO GRANT PROF. SARAH RAYMUNDO TENURE* WE, FACULTY MEMBERS, ADMINISTRATIVE staff, REPS, students and concerned individuals, appeal to University of the Philippines (U.P.) President Emerlinda Roman and the Board of Regents (BOR) to grant Sociology Professor Sarah Raymundo the tenure she truly deserves. On October 28, 2009, U.P. Diliman Chancellor Sergio Cao ruled against Prof. Raymundo’s appeal for tenure. This decision, which came after almost a year since Prof. Raymundo first appealed to his office in November 2008, is flawed and unjust. We raise the following major points against Chancellor Cao’s decision to deny Prof. Raymundo’s tenure: A.) PROFESSOR RAYMUNDO HAS FULLY SATISFIED ALL THE ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS FOR TENURE: 1. The Sociology Department and the College Executive Board of the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP) never, at any instance, questioned Prof. Raymundo’s academic excellence in the longstanding issue of her tenure appeal. 2. The majority of Prof. Raymundo’s tenured colleagues, as stated in their original justification for recommending her tenure, acknowledge her \"excellent quality of mind,\" \"expansive intellectual interest,\" \"competence in current and emerging academic discourses (as) reflected in her teaching\" and \"capability to engage in sustained scholarship.\" 3. Prof. Raymundo exceeded the minimum tenure requirements set by her department and college. Thus, it puzzles us why the Chancellor applied the tenure requirements of the College of Science (CS) to Prof. Raymundo, a CSSP faculty member; unless the Chancellor undermines the tenure requirements of CSSP and other non-CS units. B.) PROFESSOR RAYMUNDO’S DENIAL OF TENURE IS POLITICAL PERSECUTION IN THE GUISE OF ACADEMIC EVALUATION: 1. Testimonies detailing alleged instances of Prof. Raymundo\'s \"breach of professional ethics\" or \"dishonesty\" are all personal opinions of three or four individuals coming from the Sociology Department. These \"facts\" have neither been established by consensus nor adequately supported by any investigation undertaken by the Department itself. 2. In the minority report dated October 17, 2008 sent to Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs (VCAA) Lorna Paredes, three tenured faculty members (Profs. Marcia Fernandez, Clarissa Rubio and Marie Arguillas) of the Sociology Department strongly opposed to Prof. Raymundo\'s tenure presented their own \"facts\" and a (contentious) \"interpretation of a poem\" which merely represented their own opinions and not that of the Department itself. One issue hurled at Prof. Raymundo is her alleged failure to uphold the truth by not clarifying that Karen Empeno had an AWOL status at the time of her abduction during a University Council (UC) meeting in 2006. 3. However, during the same UC meeting, presiding officer Chancellor Cao affirmed Karen’s status as a student of the university, despite her AWOL status. 4. The Fernandez-Rubio-Arguillas minority report finally confirms that Prof. Raymundo is being denied tenure based entirely on her progressive positions, not on academic merits. Chancellor Cao skirts the real issue of Prof. Raymundo’s tenure struggle by turning Prof. Raymundo’s case of political persecution into a matter of academic, including ethical, requirements. C.) PROFESSOR RAYMUNDO’S TENURE CASE WAS NOT GRANTED FAIR AND DUE PROCESS: 1. Chancellor Cao ignored Prof. Raymundo’s repeated appeals that the reasons behind the Sociology Department’s non-recommendation of tenure be made known to her. 2. Regardless of the number of times she met with the tenured faculty, Prof. Raymundo has never been given the opportunity to answer the allegations against her. The specific allegations and the supposed evidences supporting these have never been formally presented to her by any accusing party. This flatly violates her right to due process. Prof. Raymundo was never able to defend herself in writing nor had the chance to consult with a lawyer regarding the allegations raised against her. 3. Prof. Walden Bello in his January 12, 2009 letter of support to Prof. Raymundo wrote that, \"The conflation of the tenure process with a disciplinary process - especially one that has not reached any conclusion on the guilt or innocence of the defendant - is wrong and constitutes a dangerous precedent that would destroy the academic objectivity that is central to the tenure process.\" D.) CHANCELLOR CAO UPHELD SOCIOLOGY DEPARTMENT CHAIR RANDY DAVID’S QUESTIONABLE 2/3 DEPARTMENTAL RULE FOR TENURE: 1. Prof. Randy David insisted that a so-called 2/3 rule be upheld in the second voting by the tenured faculty, which resulted in votes of 5 for, 4 against, 1 abstain, and 1 waiver of tenure. But this rule was not upheld in the first voting of which resulted in Prof. Raymundo’s favor (7 for, 3 against). 2. The so-called rule was never raised in any previous voting or correspondence. It was only invoked by Prof. David in a meeting on June 16, 2009 with Chancellor Cao and VCAA Paredes. E.) CHANCELLOR CAO DID NOT GIVE DUE ATTENTION TO ALL RELEVANT DOCUMENTS: 1. Chancellor Cao did not cite Prof. Walden Bello’s letter of support affirming Prof. Raymundo’s academic excellence. 2. The chancellor also misused a paragraph from Prof. Laura Samson’s letter, which he cited to highlight dissent in the department, even though Prof. Samson’s concluding statement actually favored Prof. Raymundo. Chancellor Cao’s skewed, arbitrary, and unjust decision-making which is tantamount to abuse of authority has no place in a university that stands for academic freedom and service to the people. We call for the immediate reversal of Chancellor Cao’s decision to deny Prof. Raymundo’s tenure. Thus, we reiterate our appeal to Pres. Roman and the BOR to grant Prof. Sarah Raymundo the tenure she truly deserves. * drafted by the alliance Rights of Untenured University of the Philippines Faculty (R.U. U.P.

You are entitled to your opinion but do not spread this topic as if you have full evidence of its happening. What is going to happen in future is something that no body can tell. I come from very \"cultural\" country, India and I know that you can not predict anything about future. If I specifically speak of 2012, there are no hard evidence at all that it is going to happen. Like our holy books have been altered since centuries, what our ancestors said is also altered over time. How many scientists has supported this media hype? If we are so sure of dying in 2012, why are we spending billions of dollars on sending man back to moon in 2020? What Mayan predicted was for their very own civilization. it is basically an end date of Mayan calendar, the calendars in your home WILL STILL BE PRINTED for many more years to come. According to their astrology, their civilization was to end in 2012, but they are long gone before that. We have hard time to explore the space even with the state of the art technology, how do you think Mayan predicted from Earth without even a telescope? In 1987, astrologers predicted that California will be in the ocean, is it really in the ocean as I write this or it just came out of water? As the most intelligent living being on earth and may be in universe, we have to understand that the earth is eternal. Partial destruction does and will happen as we have noticed it. 9/11, Tsunami, Katrina... It is end of the world for people who died in those disaster and will die in future disaster, but to believe that the earth is going END is a totally baseless statement. Science has never supported it, I do not support it and if you too don\'t support it, please sign this petition. As the world won\'t end on 21st Dec. 2012, on 22nd Dec. you will realize huge difference between astrology and astronomy. And remember news media will show about \"doomsday\" repeatedly. And the same news channels will also say \"we are alive\" on 22nd Dec. Appreciate your support. Thanks. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/naplanleaguetable/ Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:0:21 CST Publish the results of the NAPLAN test into league tables as well as to take away the ban of publishing league tables in NSW to help improve education outcomes for all children as the government would know where to target their resources and schools would have to improve their education or loose their students. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/jcracist/ Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:0:00 CST Jesus H.

November 13, 2009 Dear Father Marco, As you well know, every year the Walsh Jesuit community conducts the Magis Raffle in order to support the endowment fund for those families in need of financial aid. This endeavor is fueled by the hard work and dedication of countless students, and for this we should be proud. However, for those of whom do not sell their tickets for various reasons, it is both extremely wrongful and unjustifiable to be inflicted with punishment. For whatever reason that these students chose not to sell their tickets, they should be respected for their decision. To inflict harsh criticism on these students is to disregard all the qualities of “men and women for others” that Walsh Jesuit seeks to impress upon its students. Selling raffle tickets in order to provide aid for students is a choice that many make in order to help their fellow friends and classmates. However, this endeavor is just that: a choice. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with choosing not to participate in this voluntary activity. Too often the assumption is made that those who do not sell are simply lazy and entirely lack a sense of care for their school. However, I know firsthand that many students were unable to sell their raffle tickets for legitimate financial reasons or extenuating circumstances. Therefore, even thinking of disrespecting the decision of these students is not only unethical, but also extremely irrational. If those who do not choose to participate are going to be subject to discrimination, then proper measures should be taken to change the school handbook and make selling tickets a mandatory practice. One of the main values that the Walsh Jesuit community strives for is unity among all of its members. However, singling out those who made their free-will choice not to sell tickets is a complete disgrace to the entire mission that Walsh Jesuit seeks to convey. Those of whom did not sell tickets have, without a doubt, contributed to the school community in some alternate way, whether it be through academics, contributions to the performing arts and athletic activities, or participation in one of the numerous clubs that Walsh Jesuit offers. These students have also supported their school through fundraisers and involvement in religious retreats and service projects. Therefore, they are no less a part of the valued Walsh Jesuit community than the other eight hundred students. It is truly a shame that the cost of $120 worth of raffle tickets was worth completely humiliating and degrading a student. This Magis raffle was created in order to affect the school in a positive way, rather than becoming the source of blackmail through extortion. We need to focus on the good that has resulted from the raffle: the $101,000 that was raised, which undoubtedly will provide aid for those who otherwise would be unable to attend Walsh Jesuit. Our responsibility as true Warriors is to accept the students who did not sell tickets for the Magis raffle and demonstrate courtesy toward their own personal decision. Because, after all, these students are our own friends and classmates, and to us, they are not nor will they ever be viewed as an embarrassment. Sincerely, The Undersigned:
