Gabriel Quant's Contract Signing: Save RCSA from Self-Destruction
Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.
Señor Quant deserves to have his contract renewed. He teaches to the Sunshine State Standards for Spanish. (http://www.fldoe.org/aala/omsflpg.asp) We, as the Student Body of River City Science Academy, petition for Gabriel Quant's contract to be renewed.
Why is this important?
We, as the Student Body of River City Science Academy are concerned about our fellow teacher and mentor, Gabriel Quant. Through talk of the Student Body, we have come to a conclusion. We have been taught throughout numerous years at River City Science Academy that "perfect numbers like perfect men, are very rare." The quality of a man is nothing compared to the quality of his education. Señor Quant, as he is called, presents each and every one of his students with top-notch quality education. Whether they be essays, projects, field trips, or casual talk, everything is always tied back to Spanish. Spanish is the #2 language in the world in terms of popularity. Señor Quant has taught his students at RCSA everything he knows about Spanish; the language, the culture, the food, the jokes, the fables, and even the very basics of its ancestors. Without Señor Quant, the whole institution is taking a large-scale risk of losing one of the most fluent native Spanish-speaking teachers there is. On a regular basis, the students are presented with a "Calentamiento" ('Warm-Up' in Spanish) and a daily lesson. Any other teacher in his spot is basically a comparison to Mr. Quant. There is nobody that teaches like Mr. Quant does. His teaching goes beyond quality, his education introduces meaning, something that high school students have trouble finding in any subject. So, as a friendly, fair compromise, we, the Student Body of River City Science Academy refuse to participate in any other Spanish Elective offered. We will not conduct any violent acts, destroy or damage any school property, or alter the image of any school-backed items. All that we ask is if Señor Quant can come back next year.
