MORE RULES

3.)Safety glasses are to be worn when using the machines in the construction room. I think that this rule is extremely necessary to have at GSS because it is a huge way to increase the safety of students and prevent any injuries. Without this rule, there would be a number of accidents leading to injuries that can be severe. This is not a large demand so if it means that students won’t get hurt then it is definitely an important rule.

4.)No cellphones in class. In my opinion, this rule is not necessary because I believe that it’s the student’s choice if they don’t want to learn, and it is their loss if they are not successful if they are constantly on their cellphones. However in saying that, I do think that if it becomes a distraction for other students in the class or even to the teacher, then it should be taken away or told to put away. It’s too hard to tell students that they are not allowed cellphones in class but I think that they should be able to make the right choice with their cellphones while learning.

5.)Students must not wear any clothes with inappropriate messages or profanity. I feel that this rule is necessary because some clothing can be offensive to people, and if we are able to prevent disrespecting others, than why wouldn’t we take that chance? Also, we want a good reputation at GSS so by not wearing this type of clothing, we can continue to have a positive look for our school. Since respect is a big deal, especially at school, I believe that this rule is very important so that we can show our respect to GSS.

6.)One rule that I feel would be useful is to get rid of the smoke hole that we have near the school because it would make students smoke less since they have nowhere to go that’s close to the school for a “smoke break”. Also, a lot of students only go there and smoke because there friends are doing it and they offer them one, so if it is no longer there, there would be no need to “look cool” anymore. I feel that it would decrease the “want” to go out and smoke during school because of limited and not so easy access.

7.)One more rule that I think would be useful is to enforce the pre-ordering pitas on Fridays. Even though you have the option to pre-order a pita on Fridays, you don’t have to, and not everyone takes this opportunity. But I believe that it should be a rule that you have to do it so that there aren’t huge lines in the cafeteria on Fridays; this would also make the lunch ladies jobs easier.
