Fun Day: A critique.

Fun day, as requested. 

(I guess I'm writing this as if I'm talking directly to the school staff.)

First and foremost, thanks for fun day. It's better than sitting in class. Now, if you'd like to improve it and stop giving us a shitty, half assed "fun day" and start giving us a day that is actually fun, perhaps you should comply with these requests:

If you're going to give us a day to relax, have fun, and wind down before finals or standardized testing, I think you should at least permit us to leave if we don't want to be stuck at school doing nothing. Seriously. Sure, it's fun at times, but it only takes me a couple of hours to get bored as fuck and just want to leave. I think it's reasonable to want to leave school on a day that we literally do nothing.

As for the staff, stop patrolling the school like you're the cops trying to make drug busts. Let's fucking face it, there are students in our school who engage in recreational activities that are illegal. Fucking deal with it. It's not that big of a deal, and as a matter of fucking principal, these kids should be left the fuck alone. Sure, you may have to deal with a couple of parents calling in and complaining about drugs and alcohol being "smuggled" into school, but so fucking what? What do they expect you to do, violate our rights and randomly search all of our stuff? Not that you didn't get us to sign an unconstitutional waiver of our rights so you can randomly search our cars anyway...

So, overall, I feel as though fun day this year was a bit more permissive and less restrictive than last year. A step in the right direction, if you will. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe more people got in trouble than they did last year, but it sure as hell didn't seem like that to me. (Feel free to correct me on this if I am, in fact, wrong.) Octorara staff, do NOT go backwards and increase restrictions, and fuck our fun day up... I repeat, do NOT fuck up fun day. I'm stressing this because I'm aware of a few unfortunate incidents that may lead the staff in the opposite direction. Don't increase restrictions based on an isolated one time incident.

I assure you, it will not help a damn thing.

Goddamn Parents, and The Internet Filter

First of all, internet filters:

Fuck internet filters. Why the hell shouldn't we be able to get on the internet, and surf wherever the fuck we want? It's not like they're protecting us from anything, we can just go home and do whatever the fuck we want on the internet. It's fucking high-school. We aren't twelve. We've fucking seen "private parts" and we aren't going to be "corrupted" by them. This shit pisses me off. It's hardly Octorara's fault either, it's the fucking FCC/Congresses fault. Those fuckers give schools money for technology if they implement a filter. It's fucking stupid.

Second of all, Parents:

What the fuck? Allegedly, a certain teacher has a very good chance of getting fired for messing around a bit in his rather unconventional class because some dumb ass "soccer mom" wants to press charges for something that didn't even hurt the fucking kid. (It's just an expression, I know not all soccer moms are prudes...)

Fuck our culture and our obsession with keeping our kids safe. I say, let us go make our own damn mistakes, and take some fucking risks. We're not going to learn ANYTHING if we are sheltered from danger. Goddamnit, you can't go around firing people because they jokingly inflicted an "injury" on a kid that is on par with a fucking pinch. Fuck you Octorara, and fuck all of you goddamn prudy ass greedy ass parents who won't let their kids grow up without having to face the rath of the goddamn nanny state.
