As many of you probably know there have been many protests against raising student fee's in England at the moment, and as I have only 4 more years left until I decide where I go in my life, it has definately got me interested.
Basically half of the last years at my school (year above me)walked out of school at lunchtime to go protest about rising student fee's, but never came back to school.
Now everyone who was involved is in big trouble at school and people aren't happy. As far as I know all their parents agreed with them going on protest.
Technically they didn't actually break the rules by walking out at lunch as they are allowed out at lunch but they are just in trouble becuase they missed the last 2 lessons of the say. Our school policy says that we should get involved in communual activities that will benefit our education, and as far as I see it that's what they did. A degree is going to be more important than missing one day of a secondary school education.
And can I also point out the people that protested actually care about their education they're not the sort of people who take it as an excuse to miss school.
I think it's totally unfair that they got into alot of trouble, yes they did walk out of school, but they weren't planning to stay there for ages.
What do you guys think about this do you think it's fair or not.
