Lame Changes...ALL AROUND

     Well, it is true, there have been quite a few changes around school. In my honest opinion, all of these changes are pretty negative, and in the opposite direction we are looking to move in terms of quality of education at Coronado High School.
     The first of these change is the implementation of......*cue dramatic music* THE WEARING OF I.D. BADGES! From what i have gathered, this is meant to resolve any security issues the school may have with regards to students that do not attend Coronado High School being on campus. Now, with that said, I feel that this is not as effective as many may think. I feel this way because although it is a very well-thought off concept, it is by no means possible to enforce it one-hundred percent of the time. I mean, we just simply don't have enough security staff and vice principals. However, if we had a larger security force, this rule would be much more effective.
     The second change that I will write about is the addition of an eighth period to the regular school day. Now, many people don't seem to mind because as of right now, this only adds five minutes to our regular school day. However, the cafeteria is becoming unsafe and crowded as a result of the reduction of our time for lunch. This has several negative impacts. As a member of the CHS drum line, I perform at all of the pep rallies every week. This new change leaves me anywhere from 5-10 minutes generally to eat my lunch. This is not close to enough time, as you must know. Also, the concept of going off-campus for lunch has severely weakened, because there is not nearly as much time as there used to be for students to go out to lunch. This time has been the time where we get to take a break from class, spend time with our friends, and for the lazier students, do some last-minute homework. The administration needs to give us more time for lunch, plain and simple.
     Now that you realize the impact of these two very important changes, I hope that you can realize how this school is travelling in its security, along with student satisfaction.
