Why this petition matters

Started by Emmet Knudson

Grades have been proven over, and over again to be harmful to the wellbeing of kids. This subject has been blown off for way to long. We need get this fixed. By signing this petition you will help to get rid of the privileged card, and the usage of grades to determine school related events without an alternative of actually getting help.  Anxiety of grades can get so high is considered one of the 12 ACEs(Adverse Childhood Experience). ACEs can be harmful to kids 18 and under, which is the average age of people that our school is handling with. The school also does not do anything with the way that people learn, and considers anything outside of their teaching a "disability"(Ironically being called disabled for learning differently is also considered emotional neglect AND verbal abuse). With the school doing nothing for kids who learn differently and simply labeling them as "bad" those kids grades are lower than the kid's grades who are tailored for the system, causing these kids to have lower grades and poorer futures. This lack of creativity is how our world is being destroyed right now.

We can't let the school do this to our peers/kids, it is time to take action and get the school board to finally listen!
