I just wish they would realize that, yes, I am going to park in a spot that I shouldn’t if I’m running late to class and its much closer than my designated parking lot. It is just a high risk high reward type of thing”. It has gotten to the point where the tickets are not even a concern to many students anymore, it is good that their willing to risk getting a ticket if it means being on time for class. Charles noticed that even with his only night class of the week, that is when the problem is at its all time peak. Night classes, host adults who come from work along with the professors who run the class.
Hallway Rant People in the hallways need to stop being annoying. People just need to take a chill pill and walk to class. I guarantee people with be late a whole lot less because they aren’t stopped by roadblocks and other delays. Trust me.
This is mostly due to the fact that the students want another way out of a conflict. In other words, their teacher isn’t prudent or it strenuous to travel from class
…challenging because students are usually noisy and disturb other students and classes.” (Alzakari, Ziad Y. “High School Seniors and Effective Use of Study Hall Time” Ascd.org. ASCD, 1 August 2013) Taking advantage of Study halls in a negative way is also a concern. Some schools allow students to leave depending on their grade levels during study halls.
Many students are getting late to class but are being counted absent for being more than five minutes late. The schools give the students five minutes to get from one class to another, but it can take more than five minutes to get from one building to another when there is traffic. Schools should not mark students absent when they’re tardy because some students would get released late in other classes and some students would skip because they know they would be counted absent either way. One reason why the school should take the five minute absent system is because they would get released late in some other classes.
Because of this, students feel like they should be able to have the freedom to leave. But what they really have is the capability to educate themselves. If students disobey this statement and ditch class for lunch, then they will
“Attention students, we are now going into a lockdown” having done this at least twenty or more times before: I sluggishly walk my way to the dark corner. As the lights go off I hear all the people around me talking and laughing. When I see this, it hits me. What is the point of this? Why do we still do these drills?
Schools have also took into action different ways and scenarios of lock down drills. “ I have heard a lot that schools have been doing defence drills in place of lock down drills where kids will grab heavy, harmful objects, and fight back towards the intruder. I think this is smart to an extent. If someone is holding a gun at your head, and you are not capable of taking gun from that person, I don’t think moving is your best option. But, if the intruder is not facing you, or doesn’t have a gun, fifty plus kids, and teachers, could easily take on one or two people.
The main purpose of school is to provide a safe learning environment for faculty and their charges. With students becoming older, more mature, and “too cool” for the school bus, they should have an alternative way to transport themselves to and from the facility. While the students are allowed to drive themselves to school, many of them do not have the option to park on campus due to the lack of parking permits. Ever since we were old enough to dream, students have fantasized about the day they could start driving to school to show their new sense of freedom.
Schools now a days have spent thousands of dollars buying cameras, upgrading to better locked doors, etc. But we still dont know if any of these things will work because sometimes things don’t always work perfectly. Districts could have saved a lot more money if they just hire security guards and a few policemen. Schools are best served by installing and/or constructing doors that can lock from the inside the classroom, bulletproof glass, and rooms that can immediately safeguard students and staff from an active shooter as said in Source C. These types of security measures cost very much and sometimes might not always work.
At the O Waho Mountain School, we have 5 main buildings, each focusing on a different subject matter. There are four tree house buildings and one building that is located on an island very close to the shore. The first treehouse is a STEM building that focuses on the math and science courses. The next treehouse contains the humanity courses, including English, social studies and Hawaiian culture. The third treehouse has the life skills workshops where woodworking, cooking, and personal financing occur. The last treehouse is used for all the remaining electives offered that are no taught in the other 3 buildings; for example, public speaking is taught here. All of the marine classes take place in the building on the island where they can study
Do you believe that innocent people should be punished for what others have done? Imagine this, you are a doctor and you are payed five hundred thousand dollars a year. Someone at the hospital makes a critical mistake and loses the hospital millions. Instead of the one worker being fired, everyone that works there takes a huge pay cut and now only make three hundred thousand per year. Did your opinion change? At recess, I am one of the good doctors, and a couple seventh graders are the doctors who made mistakes. The result was seventh and eighth grade can no longer mix in sports.
It’s hard to put a stop to this because it can happen for a variety of reasons. Various reasons may include that a student’s parents are not in the picture, the kids are rebelling against the school’s authority, or even that the parents (or town) simply don’t have the means to transport the child to school. For instance, the Waterbury School District has a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.2%, whereas in the Westport School District, the chronic absenteeism rate is only 2.5% (CT Data, 2016). If children aren’t attending school on a regular basis, they are engaging in the cycle of poverty. The cycle of poverty is a vicious one and receiving an education is pivotal to breaking that cycle.
Every morning I wake up with a feeling of dread knowing that I must hurriedly get ready for school and have no time to waste. I rush to school distractedly and see many students in the parking lot pile out of their cars gulping coffee and trying to organize themselves for the day as they rush into our school. Barely getting to class on time, many students are distraught and exhausted from their stressful morning. School days seem to be endless when a student is tired, and students’ energy after school can be very limited. Sports practices drain students even more, and homework only gets put off until much later in the day, causing students to stay up late and not get enough sleep.
Most complaints include students who are skipping classes, addicted
