<p>I'm a freshman, and I recently found out that I will be moving to a new school next year--a REALLY bad school. So bad that they didn't even start offering Calc BC until last year. Their math club doesn't even take part in monthly invitationals, so I think I will have to "revive" it in some way or another.</p>
<p>Also, I've been thinking lately about founding the Science bowl there, too, a fun competition which my current school has. </p>
<p>Firstly, what can I do to "revive" the math club? I'll only be a sophomore next year, so I won't really have much of a voice. Also, how would I go about founding the science bowl team, or any other club for that matter? Any input is appreciated.</p>

<p>Get a teacher and at least one other student on board, first and foremost</p>
<p>But I saw a student post on another board that he founded a "Student's for a Free Tibet Club". That may not be a bad idea. I tought of founding a "Student's for Finding Jimmy Hoffa's Body Club". Looks good, and no one expects any real results</p>
<p>You can first seek out a group-as many students you can get and any science or math teachers-and then use this base to recruit others into the club until it is of desired size. To find the initial group use the paper (if it has any) or the PA system if anyone listens. You may get a few supporters from that. Becoming friends with like-minded people at the school also helps.</p>
<p>Yea, um, a school that just started offering Calculus BC last year and has a math club, no matter how bad it is, isn't really all that bad. Our school has just AB and supossedly that double-block every day for the whole year. And no math club.</p>
<p>Or maybe my standards are too low.</p>
<p>Our math club is the math teacher asking if we want to go to the annual meet a month before, and we still kick ass</p>
<p>Thanks. Anyone else?</p>
<p>My school doesn't have a math or science club. This school really can't be all that bad :p</p>
<p>We don't even have calculus right now. I want to start a debate club, but barely anyone is interested. Can you have a two-person team? lol</p>
<p>and also - we don't have ANY clubs. NOT ONE. It is so pathetic.</p>
<p>I knew a kid who was a one-man wrestling team, so you could do a two-man debate team</p>
<p>Kid placed at state too</p>
<p>nice.......then I guess I'm automatically a cofounder (one other friend wants to do it with me).</p>
<p>I always wanted to do debate, but could never talk myself into joining the speech team, the kids creeped me out</p>
<p>I just get my debate fix by arguing with my American Government teacher, even if I agree with him.</p>
<p>You would have to prepare for a lot of topics, since I think at a tournament you would going through more than one debate/person...I don't really see how it would work, but you can always try and see; maybe if you win a few tournaments you could get some other people to join.</p>
<p>I don't know if we'd even be allowed to compete in tournaments with two students! I argue with my science teacher constantly (he's a Republican) but I definitely want to be on a team.</p>
<p>We got kids to join FFA by telling them they had a great chance to get laid</p>
<p>One almost did too, but the dumbass sophomore has no concept of foreplay</p>
<p>I wanted to start a history club, but even if I found a decent following and support from a few history teachers I know, I wouldn't know what do to in it. There are only so many things you can do with history that can be done on a weekly basis.</p>
<p>Anyone else wanna make a comment?</p>
<p>A few of us revived math club this year. It was really cool because the admin thought it was awesome. We got lots of free pizza :)</p>
<p>How'd u do it? My math club is at a stage where they only go to one competition a year.</p>
