Things I Wish Would Change

School

  • We need a common room, not just for CGS. A place for kids to go when they have a free or study hall that isn't messing around in the hallways, and can be social.
  • The art program should get more funding creativity is the key to happiness for some people who may not be strong in academics.
  • Teachers should try and coordinate test schedules, at least within CGS
  • The dress code should not penalize for being too "revealing" (ie. How dare you show that you are proud of your body, and you are inherently distracting as a woman!)
  • Less paper waste!
  • more serious qualifications to take AP classes. (some people are actually interested in Psychology!)
  • Support AP classes even if they have a small amount of students, (AP Bio and AP Art History)
  • Encourage people to join yearbook!
  • SCF and Peace Project in general need to be changed, no more special treats during lunch and time out of class to hold meaningless signs. (you should not receive privileges for fulfilling your basic civic duty, you shouldn't be rewarded for what you should be doing anyway)
  • A few mandatory community service hours
  • More classes that allow study in less academic-based careers. (Auto repair, Carpentry, Electrician, etc...)
  • Can we make the parking lot less confusing?
  • Non- Academic success should be considered more in college applications and in general school reputation
Laws
  • Gay marriage everywhere, for g-d's sake
  • Please stop making us say, "In g-d we trust"
  • The driving regulations are bullcrap
  • No intelligent design
  • Laws/Programs to keep kids in high school
  • Stop censoring TV shows...
Women
  • Equal pay
  • Abortion rights
  • It's embarrassing that I have to say access to birth control
  • LEGITIMATE RAPE?
  • No one deserves rape, no exceptions
  • "women's" sportswear- Now you can get your favourite team's shirt- made just for you! (how about we just classify them as fitted or not fitted??)
  • Advertisements shouldn't make women look weak, pathetic, and endlessly concerned with their appearance and men
  • I agree with Ms. Parham - let me keep my last name!
