SMS Problems

One of the biggest problems facing Sunridge Middle School students is the dress code, says seventh grader Alondra Gomez. The dress code isn't fair. Girls shouldn't have to cover up so boys won’t get distracted and get a good education. Girls should have an equal chance for a  good education too. There are  no rules that only apply to boys about what they can wear. Many girls feel this is unfair and the rules are uncalled for. One of these rules is no bra straps showing. I”m sure a bra strap won’t distract a boy. Many girls don’t find saggy pants distracting but they do find it annoying. There are many other rules that are unfair but some are actually needed. There are limits to the freedom to dress how you want because students shouldn’t come with just underwear on. To solve this problem their needs to be some kind of fair vote between all students. Or a petition that can be signed students, teachers, and parents can help with this.

The second biggest problem that was mentioned when I was interviewing students was too many tests. Students have seven classes a day and that means there are. This can add up to seven tests a week. In other cases students have multiple tests in one class. The students don’t have time to study for  seven or more tests a week with after school activities or just getting a break. If school isn’t for sleeping them home shouldn’t be for more school work to do, says one student. Many people agree they need time at home to just relax instead of worrying about studying for tests plus homework. Teenagers need time at home to watch Netflix, sleep, eat, hang out with friends, sports, and to just relax at home. One solution to this problem is teachers setting up a schedule for testing. Teachers and students can help with this.

In conclusion I believe you can’t fix every little problem, but these are fixable problems. We can give girls equal rights on the dress code with a petition  or some kind of vote. Also we can limit the amount of tests with the help of students and teachers.
