These students received a lengthy lecture because they booed.
These students missed out on both marching band and pep team shows because they booed.
These students were put on probation for attending the BGD game because they booed.
Respect was lost for their class because they booed.

Congratulations to the juniors who obnoxiously booed our school resource officer and administrator on the stage. By far, it has been one of the rudest events I have ever witnessed.
And these kids are supposed to be juniors, upperclassmen who are expected to be role models?
Such an event may be seen regularly in middle school assemblies; however, this is high school. This is a place where one learns and grows up to be mature young adults. Junior year is supposed to be the climatic high school learning experience for all students and booing an officer and administrator off the stage is definitely not the way to start off the school year.
Believe it or not, these people worked hard to put together an assembly for the school and it was incredibly selfish and discourteous to boo any of them.
Even after a prolonged warning lecture from Principal Kevin Welsh about growing up and showing respect, the crowd still continued to boo.
It is extremely embarrassing for the juniors who actually cared and were respectful. Shame on those for putting such unfair, disadvantages upon the rest of the junior class who did not deserve to be put on probation for the upcoming BGD game. Not only did the entire junior class miss two great shows, but the performers were disappointed as well. They diligently worked to provide the assembly with more excitement and school spirit, but as they always say, it is the minority that ruins it for the rest of the people.
What is it about being disrespectful that makes someone so “cool?” What is it about disliking a school officer or administrator?
Is it because of the tickets, the ATS, the suspensions?
Is it their intimidating official figure?
Is it their stereotypical unfriendly nature?
Do they look like monstrous robots?
If that is the case for anyone, a change of attitude is needed. Has it ever occurred to those students that they deserved whatever punishment received?
These officers came to help our school and students. They may not “baby” people like many adults in a student’s life, but they certainly do try to teach people something. Not only students, but all citizens get penalized for a reason and through that retribution, it is a person’s choice as to whether or not he or she wants to learn a lesson from it.
So many teenagers complain that they are being treated like children. If they want to be treated like adults, they need to stop being childish and start acting mature.
Take it or leave it.
Either choose to continue discriminating against anything that can break one’s comfort zone or take the smart path and choose to grow up and live with privileges in your life.
