Are we a School or a Prison?

During 7th period we had a guest speaker that kept us 3 min after the bell. You wouldn't think this would mean the end of the world, but in my case it did. Having arrived at my 8th period class, with my hand on the door knob as the bell was ringing, my teacher was greeting me into his class and willing to let me in, but the Hall Guard (or Prison Guard) saw an opportunity to capture a student. He yelled "Get to the cafeteria". My teacher vouched for me, but it was in vain. With the hall guards two large arms, he reached over and blocked entrance to my class. "Get to the cafeteria" he said firmly, again. I learned today that hall monitors have greater authority then our teachers. Wow! Once I arrived in the cafeteria I was asked to be quiet as they called the other captives up one at a time. We were instructed to sign our names and a tardy would be submitted on our school record. In our school one tardy equals detention. I told myself "I am not serving detention for being held after class for a guest speaker I didn't even know we were going to have" Come on! This is ridiculous. Not to mention the tardy which would be on my permanent record. As I approached the table I was so mad, I thought of a way to out wit the system. Shh. I'll tell you only if you keep it on the DL. I wrote a name which was not my own and included a school ID number that was random. Thank goodness the staff did not recognize me. They handed me a pass to re-join my class and with 10 min. left I walked in and caught the last of a review. Isn't the goal to get kids to go to class? I want to know how to file a complaint against a school that takes away class time for unwarranted discipline. Do I have any rights as a citizen or is this a prison? ...But that's High School or is it? Who knows?
