Journal #12: Right and Wrong

If I was making new rules for school, I would first of all change the purse rule.  I think that the rule that does not allow purses in the classroom is really annoying. I want to have the rule changed because I think that the girls should be allowed to have their purses in the room. I think that the girls should be allowed to have their purses in the classroom because they really do not use them for anything other than to carry some tampons and my chapstick.  That is the only reason why I had my purse in class, but no, the people that use it to text in class are the people that ruined it for the rest of the people that were following the rules the first time.  I remember hearing Mr. Peterson say that its the rules that are broken are the ones that have to be changed in the hand book.  I think that the administration has messed up big time by having PACE. I think that Pace could potentially be a good thing, but I think that there are many flaws in the program. First of all I think that the whole reason for pace was so that people are available to get help.  I think that it is kind of wrong when the teachers do not allow you to leave the Pace classroom to get help! I thought that was the whole reason for PACE?! I just think that the teachers should be allowed to let people leave to get help.  I think that we should have homeroom again.  I enjoyed homeroom actually.  I like the whole idea that we could have study hall when you are able to talk.  I actually like homeroom because we were able to have conversations with other students in the class to get help with an assignment that you do not understand.  My homeroom freshman year with Mr. Pelichoff was probably my most productive year of homeroom because we were all quiet unless we asked to work on an assignment together.
