38 Days

Another senior assembly. These assemblies are becoming gatherings for reprimands. What happened to good ol' rallies? The rules are: No cell phone use, no wondering the halls without a pass, no tardies and no skipping, (no smiling, no frowning, no blowing your nose, no blinking, no, no, no...) During the assembly there's NO TEACHING happening. With only 38 days left in our senior year is this really necessary. Some say it's the parents fault, others say it's an increase in crime. When did adding more rules ever help. More rules just equal more trouble, more disciplinary action, more rebellion. I say, identify the problem and deal it individually. 38 days until my sentence is up, 38 days until 'Sweet Freedom'...but that's High School.
