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.
