Why Nontraditional Students Should Be Exempted From Regular School Policies
I consider myself to be a nontraditional student with extenuating circumstances. What does that mean? For me, it means I find it extremely difficult to comply with some of the standard school policies. I am a student with a child of my own in my senior year of high school. I believe students with children should be allowed extensions on some assignments, more time to get to first block and more allowed absences. I realize how controversial this topic can be, but most people do not realize exactly how hard it can be to play the role of a student, a parent, and an employee all at the same time. First, I think students who are also parents should be allowed extensions on some assignments. I know firsthand how hard it is to hand absolutely everything in on time. Most parents who are still in high school go straight from school to work, and I myself do not get …show more content…

Again, this is a struggle I personally go through every day. My daughter goes to daycare during the day while I’m at school, but it doesn’t open until 8:30. How could I possibly get to school on time if my first block bell rings at 8:20? Sometimes, if I am lucky, my mom is able to help me and take her to school so that I get to my own school on time. Other days, I have to get a tardy to be admitted into class. After three tardies, I receive a detention that I will probably not be able to attend because I will have to work that evening. Sometimes it feels like an endless cycle of punishment for a mistake I made 3 years ago. It can become disheartening and sometimes I feel like I am drowning.

    These were just extra obstacles that were put in my way for reason to benefit at all, considering I was told that junior year was already the hardest year for any high schooler anyway. I was furious yet frightened to see the thing that I value and work for, to be turned against me and everyone else. Across many schools within Jeffco, students all together performed a walk out during school to protest this issue to point. But this walk out was only the beginning of the Jeffco Recall that many teachers, parents, and students supported and carried out throughout the year. And while we did have to compensate for their poor decisionmaking that year, the recall was eventually set forth and finalized at the beginning of my senior year.

    What if one student in the fight had a good home life, his parents punished him, and he never got suspended again, but maybe the other student’s parents did not care, he would just simply get some time off of school, and continue to act out. If all students were talked to about what they did wrong and punished inside of school, there may be a chance to drop the percentage of kids that get in trouble. Yes, it may not be the school’s responsibility to punish the kid, but if they do not and neither do the parents, then who will? Giving out school suspensions may give the student that needs to be punished the most, time off from school, which is what they would prefer. It is time schools take more part in consequences with
