Ms. Tully: Fix Our Policies

I have a huge concern with the current policies set in place by you. Current attendance policies have been blown out of proportion. Students are sentenced to being swept in the hallway for no reason but being late to class. By being swept, students are losing MORE in-class time then by being a minute or two late. Sure, you may say the amount of tardies and unexcused absences have gone down, but I am almost positive that excused absences have gone up.

The most aggravating part, however, is not being able to leave study hall to go to the library in certain study hall classes. I don't know if you've ever stepped in the slant room, but try going there in fifth period; try sitting down and doing precaclulus homework, or studying for chemistry; try editing that essay that you have to type without a computer; try finishing that speech which is due tomorrow without a printer. Do you call that a working environment?

Please keep these concerns in mind when thinking up new policies.

Sincerely,
Another frustrated student
