High School

The most accepted part of society today is our public school system. Parents trust it, and kids trust their parents; therefore from ages 5 to 17 they blindly go to school everyday and think nothing of it. Then something happens, they start to develop their own opinions and view points. Unfortunately, as the child progresses school only gets stricter. It doesn’t work to make the student want to succeed. I believe that is why so many teenagers do bad in high school.
I think anyone would agree that by your junior year in high school you’re bored. Not just with the same routine over and over again, but the way your life is controlled by the all powerful/always right school system. At this time a student is, or is about to be 17 years old, almost an adult. If you look at a junior, though, you realize that they are still being treated like a mindless child. There is no freedom in high school, and when you put a mass of young adults into a highly structured, highly disciplined environment they are inevitably going to rebel.
Remember, this is only juniors we’re talking about. When you get to be 18 or 19 you consider yourself a full-blown adult. If you’re old enough to buy cigarettes, decide who runs our

There were, also, some smaller issues that bothered me about high school. It is pounded into your head since early elementary school that you need to express yourself. To some people that is dying your hair blue, but that is not acceptable in high school. I remember a particular incident my senior year on the way to class. A fairly nice girl named Rachel passed me in the hall, and I noticed she had blue hair that day. Ms. Wyman, an Assistant Principal, noticed this, too. Her eyes lit up and she said, “Blue hair! We got blue hair” into her walkie-talkie. She proceeded to run through the mob of students between herself and the criminal and snatched her up. Rachel was escorted to the office and sent home. What happened to being able to express ourselves? Something else that bothered me is that when a student isn’t in their desks by the time the bell rings, they are sent out of the classroom and are escorted to “tardy sweep”. There they have to sit in the cafeteria for the remainder of class and do homework. It wouldn’t be a bad idea if they didn’t have to miss a whole day of teaching. This year, they aren’t even allowed to do homework. I think it is a better idea to let the student attend class, and send t
