How To Create a School Petition to Change a School Rule
The article below shows you how to figure out your "principal problem" by getting your friends to sign a piece of paper.
Step 1: A list of things to do.
To make a petition list that looks professional so the principals know you mean business, what you should do is use Microsoft Word and a table that takes up your whole page, with space to write full names, or you can use GOOGLE DOCS, which is more convenient.The table type is Names at the very top left hand corner.People know what they're supposed to write and don't forget a title, so they know why they sign their names.
Step 2: Get some friends.
Friends are the best way to start a petition if they agree with your idea and sign your sheet.
Step 3: You can ask your class.
If you ask your teacher in the middle of class if you can tell the class about the petition you are doing, she/ he will probably say no because they believe it's good that you're starting to show some initiative.
Step 4: You can make signs.
You can make a big colorful sign for your friends to hold at school to try to get people to sign your petition.Prepare to be answering the same questions more than once and be patient.
Step 5: You can ask your parents.
You can ask your parents if you can get them to spread a sheet or two around their work, or ask some of their adult friends to sign if they're on a parent council at school.
Step 6: Be determined.
If you only have 3 signatures after the first day, there's always another day of asking tomorrow, so don't be let down.A majority of parents and students agree with the principal, so he can't turn down anything that's signed by them.
