Catholic High School Petition

News spread fast. Especially news to get some new head of school. A lot of students have been unhappy about the way the "Imperial palace Head" spends his money. First are the ponds at the outer sector of his palace, then followed by the bamboo forest beside his pond. As you walk into the palace, you can see a "cascading" waterfall. During your way there,a lot of statues can be found. Some are memorials of Catholic High Boys, some are abstract statues(which, if you look closly, there's a label called: Made In Beijing).A lot of students were very keen to sign this very offical petition that was supposed to be sent all the way up to the MOE. All the students were greatly anticipating the petition(which hit up to 12 pages in 1 to 2 weeks time)to be sent up. Unfortunately, due to the inapporiate handly of cofidental info, the press and media got wind of it, and burst the news out to the "Imperial Palace Head". As the idiom goes, "10 lies are needed to cover 1 (truth)" So as there were at least 8 to 10 truths, "Imperial Palace Head" had to call up his so-called donors(which he most probably bribed), and teachers(which he most probably bribed with promotion)and launch a big-scale Lie telling Campaign. As History teachers say, we must look at the source and must be able to come out wif conclusions. Source A:
Spoken from "Imperial Palace Head" " I challeneged the Editor-In-Charge to come to CHS to come and interview anyone they want, be it, teachers or students." followed quickly by," When the reporters ask you to give them a interview, do not speak to them, they nid a permission from us." So wad is the conclusion? They are hiding somthing that they do not want the students to tell the reporters about.If they hald a offical onterview with a student, you noe how it was held? With the principal and vice-principal staring sternly at the interviwee while the reporters are interviewing him. They dun noe this thing called pressuring ars!All the students of CHS were anticipating the salvation of our school only to be hit by failure.sighss.

In fact, there are points which the petition has forgotten to point out.
1)The increasing "school fees"
We have been paying around $32 to $42 a week.
ACCORDING to the "Imperial Palace Head" those money are for the companies that come in to consuel and educate us. Why do they get such expensive organizations in the first place? Do the outside world noe that the teachers have to buy their own paper and thus force us to pay for the worksheet! Fine. Let's say wad the "Imperial Palace Head" said is true, all the statues and waterfall and bamboo forest and the pond were DONATED by donors.Then where did the school funds go to? Why does it reach the step where the students have to pay for their own worksheets! Do anyone know that my father is a taxi-driver and because of the increasing taxi fare, no one wants to take taxi anywmore, My allowance is $20 a week, plau the school's "organization" money which is let's say $20, it's around $40 a week just for school! My dad is already facing econmoic problems though he does not tell me about it, and we, the students are forced to kip paying and paying! Let's say this week. We have to pay $23 to the DISC thingy and $7 for some unknown reason. Followed by a $10 for our sch funfair. That amounts up to $40! plus my allowance, that's $60! I dare not ask my dad for the money because I can sense he is suffering from economic problems and I am being forced to pay through my own allowance and thus have no money to eat! I noe the school is trying it's best. But not everyone is rich. My family is pratically broke because of the school. Even renting a small place does not cause $60 a week. This is nonsense. And we say we not put up with it any longer!

P.S. Media and Press, if you see this, please do not get me into trouble by bursting this out and displaying my name in any manner. It's okie though if my name and url of this blog is being kept stricly annonymous. I am alreadly deeply depressed from sch life and economic problems and teenage life and i do not want any more trouble. Please do not get a small commoner into trouble for speaking out his views.
