there is no answer to that....how to protest succesfully means you protest to the point that the other person abcks down but every situation is different because different laws apply.....put as simply as I can....make enough noise,get enough signatures on a petition,write enough letters to the editor of the local paper,draw enough attention to youir cause you make them change their minds....good luck though

The key to a successful demonstration is to keep it peaceful. Firstly, start a petition and get as many signatures as you can supporting your cause. Then comes the protest itself. You would probably have to do it at the school district office, since they are the ones making the decisions, and have as many people with signs and banners with you. Put up flyers at school and around town to get support up. You will also need a mini speech to give during the protest, and you can also appeal to your local city council at their public notice hearings. contact City Hall to get your idea on the docket, and get as many people to attend in support as you can find. GOOD LUCK!!!!

The thing is you have to find a other, feasible option for what to do with the buses. Also keep it classy, go through the right channels, dont go burning buses or anything. Come up with alternate solutions and and gain the support of others outside just your neighborhood

The most effective way to protest is to come up with a better idea. They have to park the busses somewhere. If you can show the school board a better place to park them, they might go for it.

1-get media coverage. contact TV news and/or local paper
2-have a consistent message...try to think up a slogan for your protest so everyone's more or less saying the same thing.
3-include little kids in your protest if you or any of your neighbors have them. get some posterboard and markers and have the kids make their own posters--cute AND makes good shots for 6 o'clock news.

You have to work very hard at this type of thing,most people these days just don't seam to care much if something is harming others or disrupting their lives,I've been begging over a year to get help from other people just to get my wife to this country to live with me, but even senators aren't much help to people unless its election time, sorry but good luck.

you need to protest by getting the public on your side , its harder to get somthing you want when you have to go threw 4000 people instead of 4

you cant disrupt other people by doing it.. (ie. protesting in streets - disrupting flow of traffic)

you cant stand still - you have to keep moving..

you cant be violant and you cant break any general law, like... disorderly conduct...

move, hold signs, say stuff.. thats about it...
