They did that at Hugh McRoberts in Richmond, BC
I remember watching the walkout from Mr Ingalls room upstairs... Oh the joy of having a district Principal for a father...
The walkout WAS about the time between classes, crossing your legs until the end of class, and some claimed it was a response to the teacher's strike... our "showing support". I think many of those that said that were seen heading down Williams towards the mall after walking out the doors.
Mostly I believe it was about how much students hated Principal (Mr Bishop), his liege Mr Draper, hated girls getting harassed by them for short skirts, and I remember it was actually NATIONAL news getting a few seconds airtime that night with Lloyd Robertson on the CTV National newscast.
It was also on the local TV news the media kinda blew the story.
The walk out.....I thought only I remembered that! I went shopping and got suspended with Shani Cranston, which led to more shopping. AHHHH....the good old days. I had no idea what it was for tho.....
If I recall, the school was taking a couple of minutes off the time between classes......it's funny..I remember it well..the day it happened, word was sort of passed around before homeroom.....and everyone just walked out of school...I remember BCTV at the time sent a crew around and it was on the news....we ended up keeping our time, I believe...
The school had banned leaving the classroom for washroom breaks at certain times my Mom had subbed there said the principal was a drunk who kept a bottle in his office.
