At the Sherburne-Earlville School District in Sherburne NY, Students receive Honor Passes depending on how high their averages are. Previously, when most kids had study halls they were allowed to visit other teachers or the library with only a signed pass by your study hall monitor. New this year, only students with Honor Passes receive these privileges while others have to jump through numerous hoops just to visit the library and teachers in order to receive help on school work. This is especially unfair to the students who try their best but are still unable to meet these requirements. Only last year did the students need a hall pass signed by only their study hall monitor to be able to get help from teacher if they had free time or go to the library to complete their work in a much quieter and comforting atmosphere. The new requirements are listed below.

9th Grade-In order for a Student to obtain an Honors Pass they must be on Principals list (Average of 95% or above) and not failing any classes

10th Grade-In order for a student to obtain an Honors Pass they must be on Principals list (Average of 95% or above) or High Honors (Average of 90%-94.9%) and not failing any classes.

11th Grade-In order for a student to obtain an Honors Pass they must be on Principals list (Average of 95% or above) or High Honors (Average of 90%-94.9%) and not failing any classes.

12th Grade-Honor Roll (85%-89.9%) or High Honors (Average of 90%-94.9%) and not failing any classes or Principals list (Average of 95% or above) and not failing any classes.

yeah I agree it's unfair and the worst part is different grades have different restrictions freshman have to have a 95 and others grades it's 85 ridiculous

The regulations are completely unfair and some of the situations are not even listed in this petition. We are told that this year we are to read if we have nothing to do, except we aren't allowed to go get a book from the library unless we have an honors pass which most students do not. Then, are told to go down during lunch or free time to get a book, when you won't let us leave to do that. So please, tell me how in the *explicit* we are able to meet all requirements and rules?!?

This is unfair. And another thing is half the stuff the school changed this year is ridiculous.

All student's parents pay school taxes and all children should be able to go to the library during study halls. How about we focus on better teaching and more tutors.
