Students arrested at Cape Cod Tech protest, school in "lock down"
Student Facebook cites heavy-handed disciplinary treatment of students
A heavy police presence was visible outside the school, and police on the scene told a news photographer the facility was "locked down."
HARWICH - Students held a sit-in protest at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School in Harwich early Friday morning, and the event led to the arrests of at least two students.
A Facebook page set up by students said the "silent sit-in" demonstration was meant to call attention to what they say is heavy-handed disciplinary treatment of students by some teachers and school administrators.
Several students and parents outside the school while the protest was going on said more than 400 of the school's 600 students were participating in what began as a peaceful protest. They said many of the grievances were directed toward Dean of Students Paula Maxwell.

Harwich police confirmed the arrests of two students at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School Friday morning, after a student protest of school administration policies became disorderly.
Police Sgt. Kevin Considine said one female student, a juvenile whose name and hometown was not released, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and disturbing a school assembly. Student Tom Wordell, 18, of Harwich, was charged with disorderly conduct and vandalizing school property, when he allegedly punched a window, cracking the glass, after being told to disburse from the protest and return to class, police said... Harwich Oracle.

That incident at Cape Cod Tech was orchestrated by a couple of parents and the CC Times collaborating with Facebook. And it wasn't 400, it was more like 150. Slow news day so the Times assisted in creating a story for themselves. Press was there like it was written in their appointment book. Lets see how much milk they can get out of it.

Perhaps the towns should close down Cape Tech and sell it to Chatham and Harwich as the new regional high school. From what I read here it doesn't sound like the tech school is much more than a financial drain on its member towns.

windmill [Member] writes:
It's not really fair to CCRT to say some of what is said here. There are some adults behind the kids' actions that really need to be taken in to account. Especially considering that that little acting out yesterday on the part of a few made the entire school look bad when in fact it is addressing the concerns brought forth by the rational students. It's a good school with a lot of people that really care about the kids and it turns out workforce ready students. The thing about a few adults stirring up this mess is agravating because I expect teenagers to be somewhat irrational, but what's up with the "grown ups?" Not to mention this little blow up yesterday probably cost taxpayers $15 or $20K.

I myself am a student at cape cod tech and i do not appreciate some of these assumptions being made about me and my fellow students. It frustrates me that a small portion of kids at my school are making a bad name for me and the other good students at my school. As you can probably already tell i cant speak for my whole student body when i say this but we are not all dillbeats and immature kids. And only a dillbeat or a very simple minded person would say tech students are. As a whole, tech student come out of high school making more money then most of all kids at public schools. And if they carry out there profession and are good at it they can to also go on in life to be very successful. So keep the assumptions to yourself, a kid should not have to tell an adult that if you do not have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. Lets all be more mature please.

In all seriousness the truth lies somewhere in between. Having a career in an honest trade IS valuable, and training kids for practical careers does seem reasonable, but not to the expense of basic skills like reading and writing.
If you are indeed a Cape Tech student be aware that you may have unwittingly supported the very prejudices you decry.

So pardon me if I'd like to empower you.

Telling kids what they need to survive is caring, not "picking on" anyone.
I was on my own before the age of 17, so youthful struggles are at the forefront of my experience.
As far as "stature" I appreciate the thought.

You know what we are in high school, so we have learned our rights, and we
have learned about methods that have been used in the past to open the eyes of America's leaders, so we have been one of the few groups of Americans whom still care about our rights,
dont take them for granted, and actually excersise the rights we fought so hard for. A few
students decided to organize a peaceful sit-in after three months of no change or word that
there was actually going to be a change after voiceing our opinions to the administration.
You may say that this was a childish idea to do, but it was not. Yes, things did get out of

have learned about methods that have been used in the past to open the eyes of America's leaders, so we have been one of the few groups of Americans whom still care about our rights,
dont take them for granted, and actually excersise the rights we fought so hard for. A few
students decided to organize a peaceful sit-in after three months of no change or word that
there was actually going to be a change after voiceing our opinions to the administration.
You may say that this was a childish idea to do, but it was not. Yes, things did get out of
hand but that was only with at the most ten students, the rest of the student body had
remaind peaceful even when they tried to use there voice and were shut down by the administration.

The students that attend this school are not disrespectful to anyone who actually respects
them, and the fact that the administration always says "You are what you give" and to "own
your words", but they can not even live up to there own words and practice what they preach,
is one thing that set the student body to come and support the sit-in. You can not be a role
model for a high school if you are a hypocrite.

Thankyou Peter. And i completly agree legalizeit that is the point im am trying to make.

If this had happend back when the school was first opened when it was known as a school that

school is full of hard working students who want to go to college, who want to continue there
education in the feild of there choice, who want to make the school a peaceful and happy place
to attend. People always say that it is the students who make the school yet there have been
very few cases where this actually has happend, so don't tell us that we are wrong for actually
wanting to have a say in the way our school is run, expecially when it is being run by people

I myself am not a trouble maker, but I am willing to stand up for students in my school whom have been mistreated by the administration. And Marge, when i said that they we are looking for privacy, its when we go to the school administration or a teacher with a problem about something and ask them to keep it confidential, and they some how have an issue with doing so. I attend classes when I am in academics, I do my homework, and I do what I am told when told to. That would be why I am able to participate in after school sports, be apart of the National Honor Society, hold two jobs(thats one more than most of you can even get), apply to many colleges and get accepted to every single one I have applied to so far including Johnson and Wales, and yet i still have time to stand up for the school that I used to actually wake up every morning happy to go to school.School is very important,but it is also important for people to do there jobs correctly.&there are class presidents&such at our school but nothing ever gets done with them,there pointless,just like all of comments you've all left

Bri... I was an educator for some time, as well as doing some time as a student. I know both sides.
As for the sit-in... good job. I was joking earlier when I suggested attacking the teachers. The kid who smashed the window got just what he deserved, however. His head would have went through the window after, had he tried that at some of the schools I taught at in Boston.
As for backpacks, I'm with the kids 100%. Schools are big, crowded places, and it's tough to get to your locker between periods. Bunches of textbooks are heavy, and I've seen a 100 pound girl walking around with 60 pounds of books.
You can't carry them in your arms, either... you need those arms to defend yourself.
Boys are also less chivalrous these days. I might have carried my own books to class like 5 times in high school, but I was kinda hot then.
Also... lugging around a backpack will get you ready for Afghanistan. Those guns and radios don't walk up into the mountains by themselves, you know.
The simple solution is backpacks.

Ashley Costa is not sarcastic or disrespectful, and if you think she is let me know

Briley10, if you've given full respect to your teachers then they are showing respect back to you. If you really have shown them respect, judging by your posts I doubt it, then you should have nothing to complain about. If you're still protesting you're just a follower and you're going to get no where in life.

I know i will have many challenges in life and that i will have to be able to accept what people say to me even when they are being brutally honest. I may have questioned why you called me a "sarcastic, disrespectful "Leader" but i didnt not get extremely angry with you over it i had asked why you beleived it and why i did not.

Yes you have answered my question, and i wasnt pertending to be a fake person my friends call me briley at school. One thing that i have noticed though many sites even those not relating to my school when ever an adult or another student has run out of things to say to the other person they seem to always have something to say about grammar. why is that? are you mad that i dont capitalize my letters and i misspelled a few? Damn i am oh so sorry.
And as to orgaanizing a student senate, we do have class presidents and vice presidents and such, but nothing ever gets done in them like i have previously stated. A meeting once a month during activity period is not sufficient enough for anything to be done.

If you really are her, be advised that
deception via false moniker damages your credibilty.
If you ARE NOT her (I think/hope this is the case)
It's not a wise idea to say you are as
you or your parents are legally LIABLE.

I am ashley costa i major in carpentry. i helped organize the sit-in. i do not use a fake name on anything, i use what my friends all know me as they either call me as briley, or dora (but thats only a few sophmores and its an inside joke). If you dont beleive that i am ashley you can go to my facebook request me and shee that i refer to myself as briley and thats the way it is.

It's the sarcasm after texting you for
an hour that I don't like. The spelling
is a little disappointing but certainly
nothing not something to make me mad.
Of course, you admitted that
and I actually respect you for it.
Let's see how long THAT lasts...
I have also come to the conclusion that there's
no point in assuming you are
someone when i'm not sure.
Will you please make a post on
Facebook with these words:
"I am briley on CCtoday forums."
Will you do that?

Having read the messages from the "students" on here, I repeat my earlier thought.
Chatham and Harwich are poisedto spend millions on a new regional high school. Perhaps before they do that, the towns should explore a purchase of the Cape Tech property from the member towns and locate the new regional high school in the Cape Tech building.
From what I have read here and in other venues, Cape Tech is at best a school spinning out of control. At worst it is an egregious waste of the taxpayers' money.
Let's close down Cape Tech and sell the property to Chatham and Harwich for their new school.

Capeconservative, beautiful idea. It's obvious these kids aren't learning anything with half a year of academics. This Ashley Costa girl is beyond foolish. She needs to stop whining about the lack of respect and realize that her peers do indeed need heavy handed discipline. THEY ARE OUT OF CONTROL.
legalizeit [Member] writes:
No matter how much you want to deny it, Tech school students are different from regular high school students. You may not like the heavy handed discipline that your administrators are giving you but when you look back at it in a few years you will realize they were doing what is best. The kids at that school are out of control, I am speaking from first hand experience. I've said it many many times respect is a mutual agree me, when given it is recieved. protesting class just proves how out of hand and disorderly you really are. Now please, GO BACK TO CLASS

Good morning margebunny "honey" you must be the copy and paste queen of CCT. Don't lecture me about getting arrested for defending my child or any child against a a person such as Ms. Maxwell who would cruely lock my child up like a prisoner just because some one made a mess in the lunch room and she wants to strong arm and run the school like a prison camp because that's the way she used to run the school she was in before Cape Tech.She made a very poor introduction to the school from jump street and if she's going to fire these kids up and also a few teachers then her @ss going to get burned and it is now.
legalizeit [Member] writes:
Ravenhair, I was "cruely locked up" in in school suspension about 4 years ago because I had coffee in the computer lab. At the time, I thought it was unfair. Looking back on it, I broke a rule and had to pay the consequence. Teach your kid to clean up after him/her self and they won't have to face the consequences. It's not a problem with the administration, it's a problem with the out of control students.
ravenhair [Member] writes:
legal I know there are problem students and there is a problem Dean.Look legal the Dean broke a rule when she locked the lunch room door. She broke a fire safety code rule as well as used the word pigs to describe students.That is downgarading and so is she. I'm not going to keep going on about this this morning I'm going to get off my @ss and rake leaves and enjoy the lovely weather. Have a nice day.

This is all I posted regarding your
barbaric endorsement of physical violence
directed at school administrative staff:
"You can get some GREAT jewelry with that move, actually.
They give you these really rad bracelets,
but they're hard to eat with
cause they keep your hands restrained.
The police like them so much,
they let everyone try a pair on!"
If that's a "lecture"
then your post is a Thesis.
You also posted:
"Ms. Maxwell who would cruely lock my child up like a prisoner just because some one made a mess in the lunch room"
Imprisonment and detention are two different things.
You should think about that.
And what did they lose?...20min?
Judging by the reputation of
that school, I'd say some of
them are in for harder time
than 20min in the future.
I normally try to console
Parents, but the tone of
your reply pretty much
invalidated THAT...
