Students find it hard to get from class to class on time due to the lack of time provided. This is a problem because there isn’t enough time and this causes students to miss part of the lesson, and when students come in late it disrupts the class and changes the atmosphere, and the first set atmosphere is usually what sets it for the entire class. Students need to use the bathroom, and drink water before class because in class the teachers expect the students to have used their five minute break, which frankly isn’t enough time. Yet this causes students to be even later and causes punishments to something that is most likely not the students fault all because the time period between classes it too short. With in this five mintue break we are expected to pack up, walk across the school, get water, use the bathroom, and get to class on time. Now to most people that might not sound like its a lot to do, but when a teacher lets you out late, even just a minute late and messes everything up because walking through the large crowd across the school with a heavy bag full of books and a laptop takes at minimum 3 if not 4 minutes. To solve this we either need a few extra minutes between each class, or we need to get the schedules changed so we stay on one side of school until break and then switch to the other side.

Reaching this milestone feels heavy because it confirms so many of you are feeling the same exhaustion I face every single day. I am tired of rushing through the hallways but seeing this level of interest gives me the resolve to keep pushing for a change.

YES, I literally have to rush to use the bathroom just so I can get to class on the other side of the school. And my school is crowded as hell so it's difficult to navigate the halls in the first place
