Feel free to post random thoughts about the topic and March 14, 2018, as well as converse and respond to one another.]]> 2018-02-28 16:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236495975 SenoraK https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236506036 Something I just learned, it is not the movement created by the students in Florida that is behind the organization of this event. I am trying to include a link to the organizers' website. ]]> 2018-02-28 16:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236506036 SenoraK https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236506325 2018-02-28 16:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236506325 siemianowski_j18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236703284 I think we should do something where any middle-schooler can leave class whenever they want and go out to the playground - not to goof off or anything, but more to reflect on what it means to us to be in a safe school environment. Also, we could reflect on what it must have been like and still is like for the students and families of the Parkland FL Highschool. This way, we are not endangering ourselves by walking off campus as middle-schoolers, but we are still "walking off school on campus". Sorry, I have like 20 ideas but this is just brainstorming so I will list my thoughts...]]> 2018-02-28 22:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236703284 siemianowski_j18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236704183 We could also do a "Mix it up lunch like we did before and we could talk with other students of different grades about the things that are going on on this topic and have prompts such as... "What do you think we could have done differently in both laws and public action to have prevented something like this from happening?" Just a thought because the mix it up lunch is a way for others to communicate with other people in other grades that we don't really talk with a lot.]]> 2018-02-28 22:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236704183 punjala_s18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236705155 According to the website Señora has linked, this march will be taking place for a 17 minute period starting @10 AM. This is advisory period. I think because #ENOUGH is saying that words are no longer enough we need to commit to this demonstration. If we don't protest, we might even disgrace the theme of the march; however, security should definitely be considered. As MIDDLE SCHOOL students, this march isn't fully targeted towards us. Nevertheless, I think that we are old enough to begin discussing this issue. Because we need to stay safe, many parents will not approve of marching around Palatine to demonstrate. So here is my solution...]]> 2018-02-28 22:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236705155 siemianowski_j18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236705700 Senora, as the last thing you posted says, maybe we could turn all the lights off in school at 10 AM for 17 minutes and have 17 minutes of thought, prayer, and silence. This would be in addition to some other things.]]> 2018-02-28 22:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236705700 punjala_s18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236706243 Starting @ 9:45 (the beginning of advisory), we should initiate a discussion about gun laws that currently exist. We should further discuss changes that could be made. This should be a serious conversation, and I believe that the teachers should not initiate this discussion. I would be willing to research and talk about other ways to change gun control laws. We could discuss the liberal vs. conservative views regarding 2cnd amendment rights.  ]]> 2018-02-28 22:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236706243 siemianowski_j18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236706330 I definitely agree with you Shambhavi. We need to do something as Quest or as a community. Middle Schoolers will soon move onto highschool. If we are going to prepare ourselves to be high schoolers, why not do something or take part in this?]]> 2018-02-28 22:28:48 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236706330 siemianowski_j18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236706565 I was also saying we should do something in addition to just doing something in advisory though.]]> 2018-02-28 22:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236706565 punjala_s18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236706667 Thanks, Jon!

Those who want better gun control laws, which will most likely be all of us should march. I think we should march to the train station. We could march on the sidewalk around the station because that is the place we can make the biggest difference.  ]]> 2018-02-28 22:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236707165 punjala_s18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236707264 I would have said we could march on Northwest Highway, but that is seriously dangerous.]]> 2018-02-28 22:32:34 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236707264 siemianowski_j18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236707300 But that brings the issue of safety...]]> 2018-02-28 22:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236707300 siemianowski_j18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236707388 I get what you are saying, but I dont know if we should do that as Middle-Schoolers]]> 2018-02-28 22:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236707388 punjala_s18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236707414 I think later in the days, perhaps during flex, we could have an assembly just like Jon said. ]]> 2018-02-28 22:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236707414 siemianowski_j18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236707472 I think that is a very wise idea]]> 2018-02-28 22:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236707472 siemianowski_j18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236707697 Lets also consider the possibilities we have with it being a Wednesday?]]> 2018-02-28 22:34:14 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236707697 siemianowski_j18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236707747 Hello?

First, the actual march is supposed to take place for 17 minutes at 10 am on March 14. Shambhavi proposed walking to the train station. Jon is against walking as he feels it is not safe. I'm sure teachers would march with you, Jon and Shambhavi. There was also talk of making signs and displaying them on NW Highway since it is a heavily trafficked road with lots of visibility. Jon mentioned we could leave lights off in the classrooms as a reminder. Shambhavi also suggested a letter writing campaign to senators and representatives (Love IT!!). Shambhavi also brought up the concept of giving speeches at a podium in a public space. ]]> 2018-03-01 02:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236750232 SenoraK https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236751152 2018-03-01 02:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236751152 SenoraK https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236751929 Here is some info on Illinois Gun Laws]]> 2018-03-01 02:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236751929 SenoraK https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236752957 Here is a guide for writing letters to congressmen and women about gun control.]]> 2018-03-01 02:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/236752957 rohr_s18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/237084208 I would be fine with an of those ideas, let me know if I can help in any way!]]> 2018-03-01 18:13:33 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/237084208 siemianowski_j18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/237269042 Its good to know we have so many ideas!

I agree with both Shambhavi and Jon in some ways. Although walking out in the middle of school is very dangerous, I think that some kind of action is needed. How about instead of walking out to support the families, we do something to help the families of the victims, like fundraising of donating to the GoFundMe. I know that we aren't allowed to do fundraising but we can ask kids to bring in money if they would like to donate. We could all give this money to Señora and then she can donate that amount of money to the GoFundMe.]]> 2018-03-02 22:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/237628202 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/237628311 By the way, this is Rachna.

Also, I like Jon's idea of doing a more constricted version of the walkout with just the playground. However, I feel like a lot of the kids would take advantage of that as a way to get out of class because it would be available for the full day. However, if we do it for just Advisory than maybe that would work. ]]> 2018-03-02 22:14:18 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/237628720 siemianowski_j18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/237651853 We could also have stuff in classes on the low - importance side. Then we'd we fine. Plus there should be a teacher on the playground to ensure there is no talking. If a student wants to stay outside in the likely chilly March Air-mass all day, then that is quite honestly their problem. I know I would not want to be out in the 40's for more than 30 minutes to myself and not talk with anyone...]]> 2018-03-03 04:01:44 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/237651853 punjala_s18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/237789394 I agree with both of you.

It took them three and a half months, and the conservatives accepted the laws after they were passed. Some of them even admitted to overreacting. ]]> 2018-03-04 13:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/237789592 punjala_s18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/237789693 That was four years ago.]]> 2018-03-04 13:12:26 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/237789693 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/237883616 I just learned that in Canada, unlike the United States, Canada has a law against using weapons actively on your own property. (yes there is a law that allows people with guns to fire them on their property, there are many channels on youtube that do this sort of thing.) So in Canada you have to go to a shooting range instead of being able to shoot guns on your own property. I haven't done any further research so that's all I know for now. -Ben]]> 2018-03-05 00:31:59 UTC https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/237883616 marmer_a18 https://padlet.com/SenoraK/q6oucj6tkj8o/wish/238158093 I read in an article (not sure when it was published so it might not be very accurate) that the US has more guns than any other nation and has more gun deaths than other countries.
