Rushing to class, you find yourself at the top of the main stairwell trying to push past people to make it to class on time. There is the average group of people gossiping in the middle of the hall about how this person is dating someone too pretty for them, or how this teacher gave them an undeserved d-hall. Trying to get around the group, you see a stampede of people coming toward you, making it even more complicated to get to your class. By the time you finally get through the crowd of people. The bell rings. Another tardy and a Saturday school is expected when you finally walk through the doors to your next class.
“We only have four minutes between classes,” senior Lindsay O’Donnell said. “It’s not enough time.”
Teachers try to keep students moving between classes.
“That helps a lot,” O’Donnell said. “That main stairwell is the worst to get through.”
Some students think that teachers who sit in their classrooms during passing periods should help keep the students moving.
“In some areas, they don’t stand a chance getting the students to move,” junior Tyler Mauri said.
While some students think longer passing periods will help solve this problem, others think that nothing will solve it.
“Kids don’t listen to the teachers,” freshman Ashley Brown said. “They don’t at all.”
Students like Mason Kuter wonder why some students even come to school.
“If you wanna chill at school, you should just stay home,” Kuter said. “We’re supposed to learn.”
