INJUSTICE

In the computing classes, we were using the Internet to study. Two weeks ago, we heard that we didn’t have Internet anymore to work and practice in class. All the students were very angry and complained about this.

Lucas, one student, said, “Our parents pay a very expensive fee for computing classes. It’s not fair if we can’t use Internet anymore.”

Melina, one girl, said, “We don’t want to go to a cyber and pay to study there”.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

UNFAIR

On Friday 22 May, the teacher of English, Blas Bigatti, tested us because a group of students were speaking a lot.

The teacher was very angry because those students didn’t pay attention to him so he decided to evaluate us. So the students got very angry and didn’t want to do the test. The other students tried to do the test but it was difficult for them. They didn’t study for the test and were nervous.

Some students are upset because they feel they are going to fail the test. Nazarena, one student, said, “I think it’s unfair to evaluate all the group because some of us were listening to the teacher and paying attention to him”.

Two articles on the English class case:

ANOTHER BAD JOKE

On May 30 the English teacher arrived to the classroom. When he was sitting like every Friday, he saw a nail on the chair. After that, he got angry and asked one of the students to call the headmaster.

The headmaster said, “Who did this? I’m sure that you know something. If don’t talk, you will have serious problems.”

The teacher said, “If the responsible doesn’t talk, the whole class will be punished.” All the students said, “It is not fair.” But nobody talked. We will know the consequences next class.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED…

Last Friday, when we were beginning the English class at school, the teacher wanted to sit down and saw a nail on his chair. Blas asked “Who was it?” and nobody answered. Then he called the tutor. She talked to everybody about this and as nobody was responsible she decided to punish all the class. Students disagreed with this.

Now there are comments that a girl of second was, but she denies this.
Today, five days later nothing has changed.

PROBLEMS WITH 2^ND SOCIALES

In San Antonio School, the students from 2^nd Sociales are very popular because of their bad behavior. The teachers complain constantly because students don’t pay attention and are very noisy.

Students spoke many times with the teachers to solve the problem, but that didn’t result.
The principal was so tired that he decided to punish everybody. Students thought that the disturbances weren’t so important to receive that punishment so they disagreed with the principal. They decided to speak to him but nothing changed.

Today Camila Rodriguez said that the principal comes to talk about problems but he never congratulates us for good behaviour. Martin Beneyte thinks, “It is ok the principal can talk to us when we make problems."
