What would YOU do?

<p>So, you're the only junior who's been writing for the student newspaper since the beginning of freshman year. Your writing has been considered THE BEST not only by peers but also by the current EDITORS and the TEACHERs. </p>

<p>But then suddenly the "moderator" (i.e., the teacher overseeing the paper) changes--from the one you know so dearly to some new young woman who teaches regular (not honors) freshman English.</p>

<p>And just when it's your turn to rightfully be given the editor-in-chief position for senior year, the moderator takes the job AWAY from the current seniors and takes it upon herself to pick the editors. And she picks the only kids she knows--the freshmen in her regular (not honors) freshman English class. </p>

<p>Except for the editor-in-chief. She's a junior....who was in that teacher's class her freshman year. This girl is not qualified. It's been three years and she's STILL not in honors English! That kinda means something when you're talking about writing! </p>

<p>lLike legit she's unqualified. For example, this girl's Facebook status currently reads: "______ IS NEXT YEAR'S EDITOR-IN-CHEIF." </p>

<p>I actually not no editing positions whatsoever. A flippin' perfect score on the SAT writing, and not a single editing position? Um, sorry frosh, but this was a MISTAKE. How do I go about fixing this? (There's not much time left.)</p>

<p>FYI, there is a "director of writing," (another teacher), and she doesn't know about this. Should I go to her? Should I petition among my classmates? Should I go to the principal? (This is a classic case of favoritism.)</p>

<p>WHAT WOULD YOU DO?!</p>

<p>Wow, I would be seriously ****ed. </p>

<p>First, I would talk to that new moderator. If she doesn’t acquiesce, go to other teachers, the principle, your parents. Whatever it takes to get that position you deserve.</p>

<p>Or you can just punch that freshman in the face.</p>

<p>I don’t think this is really a big deal.</p>

<p>You’re the best writer there, so you really should be spending more time writing than editing, true?</p>

4

<p>Well its her senior year position in (maybe) one of her biggest extracurriculars and she didn’t get the Editor in Chief position she deserved. It’s a pretty big deal.</p>

<p>shampooswallower…i wouldn’t be talking considering you (from wat i remember) posted a thread saying “■■■■ i got misquoted ■■■■ THE WORLD IS ENDING” type of thread. lol.</p>

<p>and anyway, i feel ya…i am in the same position…we got a new moderator/advisor and he favorites this one b**tch who gets everything. I solely founded this club and wanted to make it a good newspaper …but everything was taken away from me and I have nos tatus. i have no more interest in going to that dumb club because those guys have dumb ideas</p>

<p>-.-</p>

<p>I’d defintely talk to your director of writing or some other adult and explain that exact situation cuz that just sucks</p>
