There are many things listed, but there are many more things that we should change. Such as having study hall so that many students are able to do some homework, especially IB students.

I think that dismissing seniors after 7th is unfair to the other classmen. We should have pep rallies for winter and spring sports, too, not just fall, because it seems like the school only cares about the fall sports. It may make some athletes feel unappreciated.

I agree that many kids get a lot of school work and are actually dedicated to school and they don’t get acknowledged for it.

I agree with “have a dress code instead of a uniform” by Alma Carmona because the uniform really isn’t helping anything. Some girls get the shirts and out them to be adjustable (shorter) so I don’t see how that’s any different from being out of uniform. I came from the northwest suburbs where they don’t have a uniform policy, but they do have a sort of strict uniform policy on inappropriate logos and showing too much skin. I feel like in this school the biggest concern is the uniform policy rather than the fights going on. I get that we have a uniform policy because they don’t want gang related colors being represented in this school but I mean that doesn’t help because people still fight either because of drama or gang related. People look at the violence happening rather than concerns over the uniform policy.

I want to express my opinion about dropping the uniform. As a sophomore in the MYP program I cannot express enough how the uniform should not be interrupting students’ education. I think uniforms should be dropped and it would decrease one of many problems Steinmetz has.

Sometimes the school gets cold and students don’t have the Steinmetz sweater to wear. There are so many real problems in the school and uniforms should not be a problem. Students being in 118 takes away from their class time. I believe that kids shouldn’t get in trouble for wearing a piece of clothing; kids should get in trouble for causing all that violence.

I want to comment on dismissing the seniors after 7th. I strongly disagree, again. As an MYP student we do get a lot of homework and I know that waiting to get out 4:01 is late, but seniors aren’t the only ones who have to do things after school. I think we all should be treated equally.

I want to express my opinion on the sports section. I am so tired of not having good equipment and not enough space to practice. I think we all support each other in all types of sports. We should raise or try to raise money for all sports. We need nicer softball and baseball fields. Having nice things for sports is always the best.
