Ways to Hold a Student Walkout

1. WALK OUT FOR ENTIRE DAY
Show up to school, go to your first hour class. When the bell rings (or the class starts), get up and leave the school.

2. WALK OUT FOR ONE HOUR
Same as above, pick the hour everyone will leave, then leave and return for the next hour's class.

3. WALK OUT NEAR END OF DAY
When the bell rings for your last hour class, get up and leave. Hold protest outside school.

NOTES:

1. Make sure you notify the local press you are going to do this. The only way for your actions to have nationwide impact is if the public knows of your actions.

2. Be completely nonviolent and peaceful. Do not cause any harm to person or property, even if you are confronted by those who disagree with you.

3. Tell your parents what you are going to do (if you have the kind of parents you can tell).


This from Michael Moore's site. See rest here http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/index.php?id=968
Note: One of the Notes speaks about how administrators will try to "scare" students into not doing this by threatening their transcripts or records... strongly recomend the rest of the piece...
