Okay this is going to be long, but Im upset right now and I want to rant so Im going to have this really long message about what is happening:
I published my book March 20th and I was previously in a creative writing club with Coach P as the head and he helped me a lot. When the book was published he supported me and is helping getting the news around in the community. This includes contacting his friends in charge of the CFN(Canadian forces network) and AFN (American) to put it out on their radio/tv channels. He is also trying to put it into the stars and stripes newspaper.
Over break with my mom and I we created pre-order forms for a book signing that the entire office staff and Canadian and german office agreed to. Tuesday during seminar(like Spartan time) I passed out the said forms to the students with a small little summary that I would say before heading to the next class. The 7th graders were having an assembly, but at the end Coach P got up and said a few words and told them they could bring the money to either him or Liam, my brother.
Everything was great. This morning I should up to school and my mom did her normal email check and found an email that had been sent out to the entire staff of Afnorth International Elementary-High School.
The email was a few paragraphs long but the jist of it was that we are proud of the student at our school who published her book but selling things on school property is against the law so promoting her book is not allowed. All of the forms have to be destroyed, no one can buy a copy from me, and teachers/students are not allowed to talk about it in a positive manner as to increase sales.
Immediately after we read it together three teachers that my mom worked with came into the classroom (at different times, but all close to each other). Each and every one of them was on my side on the events that took place. Especially when we mentioned we had already asked the principal face to face it this was all right to do.
They say I broke the law and they are calling Legal and we are going to have another meeting. We already had one with just my mom, me, principal, vice principal, and Coach P who has been drawn into this by being my biggest supporter at the school.
Teachers are telling us to get the union involved and to send the letter and information about the situation to the Stars and Stripes. They want us to make a big deal about this. Coach P is frustrated and doesn’t care even if he gets fired (which has been threatened) for supporting me. He said that if we were in any other school there would have been an assembly called after the book was published to congratulate me.
Well, sorry for such a long rant. I’m…. frustrated…
Oh yes, day number 100. I suppose you're about to get flooded. I would have been annoyed but also surprised if I missed my chance to say this.
