As a student of Coronado High School in Lubbock, TX agree that the new policies that have been put into place is completely and undeniably unfair. The amount of power that the school is using against the student body in relation to the allowance of certain things is not right. There should be no reason to deny a student his or her right to use the restroom a certain amount of times. Now there is a difference in students who go daily, or students who go every now and then that really have to use the facilities. As to the next point, students need a larger passing period. Five minute passing periods is not nearly enough time for someone to use the restroom and walk from point A to point B, Coronado is a rather large school. The large school makes it hard to get places in that amount of time with the amount of students in the hall. Next the amount of tardies that is allowed is completely wrong and unfair. As a student is late to one class a teacher may ask why. Well going back to using the restroom, if you had to stop in the restroom it takes the average person 4 minutes to complete his or her business in the bathroom. This meaning that the students that need to use the restroom have around one minute to get to class. That is not near enough time to get to class. Yet the teachers and staff don't see that, nor respect that. Along with not having enough time to get places, use the restroom, students need longer lunches. The amount of students that daily go off campus even though that it is a closed campus is because of several reasons. The first being that the food is not at all appeasing. Students want food that they like. This doesn't have to be junk food but rather something healthy that actually looks and tastes like food. The food that is served tastes awful. And along with that it doesn't fill anyone. Therefore that should be addressed to fix students from going off campus. Next reason that students go off campus is because they don't have enough time to get food in the cafeteria. The amount of students in there at one time creates chaos. Not everyone can get their food and eat it before the bell rings for the next class. So with all this addressed and as each signature is looked at, may the staff realize that this is a rising issue in the student body.

I really cannot believe how many of you are feeling this same frustration because seeing this grow so fast makes me feel like I am finally not just yelling at a wall. Honestly the whole situation with the bathroom passes and the sprint to class has been weighing on me for weeks and it feels good to know that I am not just crazy for thinking five minutes is impossible.

As an alumni of Coronado this policy disgusts me. I was diagnosed with ibs while I was in high school and was often late to class because I had severe stomach cramps and had to go to the bathroom. Why doesn't the administration worry about education instead of poop and making up stupid policies?
as a student at Coronado I think that this is just ridiculous like c'mon now , only 2 tardies a whole semester and if you get more then 2 you get after school detention then iss then oss and then project , they have really gone over board with this whole tardy policy thing
Tardies are not really that big a deal it's all the fighting and violence. They need to focus more on the violence instead of Tardies. Hey Coronado at least we get to class and still make good grades. focus on violence not Tardies.
I agree with this the policies they are pushing in the name of "safety" make it feel like we're back in middle school. Isn't highschool supposed to prepare us for the real world?
I barely have time to use the bathroom and none of the teachers let ne go, because we get a certain amount of bathroom passes. honestly I do not agree with our Tardy Policy, it is unfair to the students like myself who get to class or at least tries to get to class.
The people who drafted this petition need to be less focused on the inadequacies of the system and more focused on learning to write in a formal and coherent manor. The meaning behind the text is lost because the writing style is so unclear.
I'm backing my kiddo up in any way that I can! Go Stangs!

Ok this is my third year at Coronado. I can honestly say I have made it from the 500 hall to the 700 hall in less than 5 minutes. Passing period is not a time to talk with friends, it is a time to get to class. Stay on top of things and you won't be tardy. It's high school, be glad your getting a good, free education.
