New to this year, Perth & District Collegiate Institute is creating a 4 week alternation "tumble order" that changes the periods that classes fall in. However the scheduling is leading to confusion and stress due to the extremeness of the changes. This petition has been created for an effort to stop this change, and with a few clicks of a button, you can help make a difference. This petition is planned to be given to the power of which the decision is coming from, and is one of the many actions taking place to help get the idea across that students don't want this crazy scheduling.

The confusion in the hallways is mounting and the feedback I receive proves this schedule is not working for students. Post the link to the petition on your Facebook wall today. Send a direct email to the school administration to demand they return to a consistent routine.

The administration can no longer ignore the frustration caused by this schedule rotation now that our group has grown this large. Send a direct email to the principal today to demand a return to a consistent timetable.

I feel that the new scheduling system at pdci will cause confusion and distress resulting in a lack of education and organization, many students that I have consulted with at sfdci (who use this new system) say that it causes a melt down for the first few months of school. Please take this petition seriously. -Harrison Machan (student at PDCI)

I find this is unnecessary why change something that worked well and for people that have co op like me how will this help keep things organized co op is a two hour thing not a single class if I go to work why do I go all the way to my workplace for a single hour then go all the way back to school with almost no time to get back and Fourth

Thinkimg of all the students with special needs and IEP's they have enough struggles and the inconsistency is going to make it even worse. Leave it alone and lets not stress out atudents more than they have to. With this change I see higher drop outs.

Two week schedule worked. No need to have students confused. There is enough stress in their lives and i the lives of the teachers and support staff without purposely adding more. If it is not broke don't fix it is great advice in this situation. Not the way for a new principle to gain confidence from students and staff.

I'm still trying to remember if it's blue or white week. This 4 weeks thing isn't going to work well among other students. It will only be adding more stress to the school year, and confusion to even teachers. Students will be going to the wrong classes, will be late, just because of the way the school day/week it was arranged as.

With work schedules and school schedules, more confusion on trying to remember what week it is for my classes will only put more stress and confusion into my everyday routine.

This will confuse students because they will not know what class to go to!

I was a student at PDCI, almost decade ago now, but I thought the 1-2-3-4 and 4-3-2-1 schedule was fine. These other two options are annoying and dumb. They would confuse students and make them so stressful about knowing which week it is that it'll be taking away from their learning. They'll be worried about which class is next. Shouldn't be that complicated! ESPECIALLY WITH TEENS!!!!
