New School is a Drag
Alyssa Herman

Any normal person would be excited about moving into a new school, but when there’s ridiculous rules it’s impossible to enjoy. Both staff and students couldn't wait for TRHS's bran new high school.
When the time finally arrived almost everyone was bummed about the ridculous rules we had to suddenly put up with. After hearing from the students and adding my own take on the whole situation, i beleive the school needs to lighten up. The two most riduculous rules are that we can't even have water, and that we can't even wear coats
First of all water is not a big deal at all. it doesnt stain and its really easy to clean up. we clean the floors with water, why can't we drink it? Not only is this rule stupid, its insane! All we ever heard in the old school was "make sure you guys are drinking water." "it's always good to have a bottle of water with you in class." Its to much of a hassle to get up during class and drink out of the fountains. Even teachers get irritated that we cant have water. We have become so use to having a bottle of water, and now all of a sudden its banned. I beleive Mr.White is being terribly unreasonable. Especially when half the teachers dont even follow the rules.
The school is not always warm. the heat doesnt turn on til 7:00am. when we have really cold nights, which we do its Wyoming, the building takes too long to warm up. The past week in the school has been almost colder than outside. We should not be told whether we're aloud to wear coats are not. we are individuals and if i want to wear a coat im goig to wear a coat! They haven't even given us a good reason why we shouldnt wear coats. They said anything we wear outside we shouldnt wear inside, well i think that if its colder in the building then outside i will wear my coat!.
Mr.White and the teachers need to realize these little rules are stupid. And that it is NOT a big deal to have water in the class rooms, or to wear a coat. If they can give me one good reason why coats are a big deal, which they arent then maybe i will consider not wearing one.
