Students and faculty have mixed opinions on the school rules.
“I don’t agree with any school rules; they’re mostly all dumb,” Aileen Gonzalez, a freshman, said. ” The phone policy is especially stupid because in an emergency, how will we be able to contact our parents, and like with the bookbag rule, having to be in our lockers there so strict about tardies literally giving people weeks of ISS just over them, but are forcing us to go to our lockers every block, it’s stupid.”
“The only school rule I agree with is having to have our GPA up to be able to play a sport because you are a student before you are an athlete,” Roselynn Richard, freshman, said. “But the phone rule is so stupid because they’re basically enforcing something that can’t be forced because most people are on them anyway, so I think it should be up to the teacher.”
“The rule I agree with the most is the cellphone policy in class, you shouldn’t have them because they are a distraction and you could end up missing something extremely important,” Mrs. Melissa Gery, Spanish teacher, said. ” I don’t really see a problem with the leggings there just for comfort, but I don’t think they enforce many rules at all. They might enforce them too little, honestly.”
“I don’t agree with the book-bag rule because we are going to our lockers between every block, which makes us have tardies leading us to get ISS,” Kendall Parsons, freshman, said. “And I feel like they enforce the seven absences rule too much, because it’s stupid only being able to get seven absences if students keep up their good grades; it shouldn’t matter how many absences they have.”
“I mean, I guess the school rule of not disrespecting the teachers is the rule I agree with the most because they deserve respect,” Gabe Touart, a freshman, said. “I feel like the cellphone rule is useless because what happens if there’s a school emergency and we need to contact our family, they’re also constantly enforcing the dress code, like it really doesn’t matter what people are wearing as long as they’re coming to learn and work.”
“I don’t agree with many of the rules because most of them don’t make any sense and are useless,” Addely Guillen, freshman, said. “I think we should be allowed to have our cellphones at least at lunch or when we have a little bit of free time, and they enforce the dress code too much on the little things.”
