Yes my blog is under strict censorship, but it does not matter because no curse word can describe the anger I am feeling right now. My open campus privileges just got taken away because I did not make honor roll last semester. I did not know that I had to I was two points away in one class from making it, and I got all positive comments on my report card. This would be a little bit more reasonable if they had a set punishment for me and something to do with my time when I arrive to school, but there is nothing like that, and they are being totally unreasonable. One of the worst parts about it is that this class has several intangible grades, such as participation. Teachers do not pay attention to your amount of participation, and it would be a very difficult task to measure the participation accurately for each student every class and not use your own personal bias towards this number. Say I have been holding an A in one class, and it is brought down to an 89. I have been putting in A material work, but it doesn't matter because the man does not want me to have an A. They decide to give me a 77 for participation. How in the hell does a teacher decide that a student has only been putting in 77% effort in terms of participating? It is especially screwed up since it looks like its only a point away from keeping my grade at an A-. Something is wrong. It can also be really difficult to participate in classes when teachers are going to pick the retarded students so they can feel welcome and smart, and by the time they are finished spitting out some crappy answer you either don't care to share your opinion or the subject has changed.

So basically I have to show up every day at 7:40 and hang out until my next class, which is at 11:15. I just hope I will have success with my appeal this Wednesday by explaining my situation to the principal, and I hope support through my peers will get me through this.
