I look around in the cafeteria and I see people wasting the cafeteria food or their either bringing their own food.

Bringing Phones to School In my opinion I don’t think students should be able to use cell phones on school property. It’s very inappropriate for school. School is a place to learn not a place to use electronics and be able to socialize with other people outside of school.

There’s nothing more important than getting an education all the other not so important things

School Should Not Start Early I don’t like to stay at school any longer than they have to. People in school don’t want to be there longer in the day either. That is why schools should not start earlier in the day. School should start at the same time as usual and end at the same time as usual. If we did start school later then students would have less time to get homework done‚ students who are involved in after school activities wouldn’t get home until a later time as well.
