In order to solve your school’s recent litter problem, your principal asked students to take better care of the campus, but the
litter problem continued. Your principal’s reaction is to cancel all extracurricular activities until the problem is resolved. Do you agree or disagree with his reaction? (10 sentences)
I agree with the principal’s reaction. Yes, I would be upset if the after school activities got taken away, of course. However, without consequences, the students that littered will never know that their poor choices will lead to privileges being taken away. Extracurricular activities are a reward, not a requirement that the school must provide. Plus, every club that does their activities inside or outside the school will have to deal with the constant gum wrappers and crumbled paper scattering the floor. That will clearly get in the way of their activities. I understand if students will be frustrated with the principal, but he gave them a warning, and those students chose to ignore it. I believe the principal was being rational with his decision. Although the students most likely won’t respect his choice, they should learn that their actions have consequences. This is just my opinion.
The new policy enforced on the school is reasonable. The students were given a request and failed to follow the rules, which is why the only way to improve the school’s appearance is through the cancellation of the extracurricular activities. Students need to realize that as students one of the top expectations is to treat both the faculty and the campus with respect. A campus must be kept clean and proper as if it were the student’s second home. In fact, in this school the phrase "students of character" is emphasized alot, and as such we should abide by the rules until the situation is improved.
Students should treat their campus with more respect and not pinpoint their faults upon others. In fact, many students try to blame the littering problem on the freshmen, since they are the newcomers to the school. This claim on the freshmen is false, as every grade level contributes to littering in this school, not just the freshmen. As a student, I have witnessed these events first hand. I’ve seen it all; from the random lunch "fights" to a student’s laziness on throwing away their tray. All of these events make it clear that a student’s responsibility is to treat their campus with respect.
