Let’s make next year better!

Well, as we all know, this school year ends this week! This is very exciting for all of us, including myself, because summer is here! Of course we’re all going to miss something about this year. But eventually in September, we will come back and continue with our daily school routines.

Everyday, teachers and staff face something that doesn’t really make them happy. Whether  it’s a student’s ridiculous behaviors, bad attitudes, or unnecessary actions that disrupt the classroom. Every school has their certain “do’s and don’t”, but not everyone follows them. That is why next year we should try to be ready to show that we understand and follow rules. I’m not saying that ALC is the only school that acts up. What I’m trying to say is that we should be able to know the difference between the wrong and the right.

Did you hear about students stealing teachers’ belongings? I mean besides being clearly on the wrong side of right and wrong,  that’s not nice. You wouldn’t want someone to steal your stuff. Like Junior, Alejandra Navarro said, “I think that everyone should respect people’s belongings. They shouldn’t even be touching it without permission in the first place.” Sophomore, Baruchs Ramirez said, “Why would you even steal a teacher’s belonging?” and sophomore, Jessica Jimenez later added, “That’s just mean. I know they might be angry at their grade but that’s just immature.” That being said, teachers should be able to trust their students. If you see anyone trying to pull off something like that try to stop it!

Does it bug you when others don’t take responsibility for their actions? Another huge problem is the dirty quad. Have you seen the quad after lunch? Well after ALC heads to class after lunch, our quad is such a mess. I’m not sure if it’s just ALC or another school here at MCLC that leaves their food trays out there every single day. But what I can say is that it looks unsanitary. Even though we have school janitors, they shouldn’t be picking up after hundreds of students everyday. That’s why there are so many trash cans out there. Sophomore, Jackie Chinchilla agrees, “Oh my gosh! How hard is it to put your trash in the trash can?” That’s true because on the way to class, you can bring your food tray along and drop it.  Plus, it won’t make our school the way it does after lunch. A number of people have seen a bunch of food trays piled up on water fountains! We don’t want our school to be like that. Well I hope that next year everyone tries to prevent these actions so that we have a better year!
