Don't Risk The Students Lives and Change The Designs
petitioning that hillcrest abolishes the new design for an unsafe school. The "glass walls" opposing a distraction to classes along with not reach MAJOR safety standards for children and staffs safety. Putting many lives at risks. OUR SAFETY SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN UP FOR COSMETICS REASONS TO MAKE THE SCHOOL LOOK BETTER.
Why is this important?
I am a sixteen-year-old student at Hillcrest High School. I and MANY other people find it very concerning about the new school plan. Looking at the new school plan I am saddened at how the safety concerns of the staff and students have been mitigated a tremendous amount. With the current epidemic on our hands about shootings that have been happening in schools.We would have thought that safety to the people working in a school and the students would be the first priority when making new designs for a school. Sadly we have been mistaken. The many concerns I have with the school are astonishing. The one myself and many parents and teachers are concerned with are the “glass walls”. Hearing the concerns of the teachers should have been enough to change the design plans but again, I am mistaken. At this time I will be started a petition and raising awareness about this safety hazard. These walls have many concerns to the staff/students. Please take note that I understand why you want to present these walls in schools. The light being let in suppose to academically make us improve. This being true and would have an effect on the student population...still doesn’t make up for the lack of a safety it provides. The other reason is for the fishbowl idea so Administration can look into classrooms to see what teachers are doing in their classrooms! There are many ways to get around that idea that is SAFE!
Living the school life of coming into an already unsafe environment and being worried about what could happen (shooting, stabbing, bombs, and bullying). This concern is already too monumental. Having to go to school on anxiety medication because you are too scared to walk into the school is baffling. The school environment now isn’t anywhere near where it should be. These new building designs are NOT helping in any way, shape, or form.
We don't care if the school is pleasing to the eye. We care about safety. I wish you would as well.
The Risk of the glass walls is infinite (IF there was a school shooter, If there was an earthquake, if there were a fire, and etc)
This does not include how distracting it would be to see people outside in the hallways! Kids get distracted when the door is open and there is a class/kids outside.
We still should have a say in what the designs of our new school will be.
Please don’t risk students lives and change the designs.
