Ok here i have made a topic, and i will try to visit this topic daily.

the jist of it is... you, the students of BTHS, are getting aggravated by many different things in our school. as an executive of SGO i thought that having a list of things to fix would make my life easier when i start looking for things to fix. i want you to post all things that you have a problem(please have it in a numbered list) and then skip a few lines and write some suggestions for your list of grievances. 

If anything already exists, we'll tell you. if it doesn't I'll try to make something happen.

one rule though, please read all the posts before your own, EVERYONE hates repeats. 

if you have suggestions for a certain problem that is different than the suggestions already posted, please post it with a quote of the problem.

I'd like to see the students respect the school environment more and appreciate more of what they have. Tough one. Good luck!

Out of curiosity, what happened to our planners?
I took a look at several of them, they're in really bad condition, it looks like it went through a stampede.

Same physics and lab teacher.

[pieghost]

somehow, make people use the correct staircase. SOMEHOW
no 10 day schedule

less students (i realize that money's involved, but how much are we willing to sacrifice?)

department wide tests for all subjects at the end of a term (like the LOTE department, so "unfair" teachers are in a "checks and balance" like system)

double period labs

8th floor locker renovations (what is the point of the cuboidal lockers? they are space wasters; replacing them with roomier lockers will also reduce theft)

that can be a VERY bad thing, although it can also solve many problems.

School spirit. Pretty sure THAT one doesn't exist.

Having cleaner lunchrooms. 8th period lunch? okay, time to hunt for tables that's CLEAN of leftover, etc.

this is something that we spoke about in SGO and SOME ideas came around, but the bottom line is... as long as your classmates keep leaving crap around, tables will look like they do now. 


any suggestions of how to fix it?

You guys can complain about things being dirty, floors flowing with milk from breakfast, bathrooms with crap on the walls...the thing is, the school didn't manually put it there, your peers did. SGO can't do anything about dirty bathrooms or nasty floors...its up to you guys. If there aren't enough paper towels in the bathroom, we can help with that. However, we can't change what you guys do. We know the complaints and the solution is there - police yourselves. If you see a friend doing stupid, ask them to stop...it's that simple.

Now when you say "we" are you referring to SGO or the alumni association?

The thing is, no one likes to stay behind and make sure others throw away their trash, especially when they run the risk of being late for class. But then again, this only applies when only a small amount of people "police" others.

I'm referring to SGO - an alum of SGO rather.

You don't have to stay behind. No one is telling you to sweep the halls and make sure people are throwing their stuff out. . . If you're sitting in the halls and you see a friend come by and throw an apple on the ground, say something like "hey, chill with that man" - you don't have to say "Dear Sir, please dispose of your garbage immediately"

That made me laugh.
Now to get students to do that little "chore".

[SoLR]

Well you could set an example of a couple of people who aren't throwing out their garbage and punish them. I don't mean that they should be suspended, but a visit to the dean's office + a call home should suffice.

-Allowing seniors to leave during lunch. It should be a senior privilege. It'd be nice to get something decent to eat instead of the poison that's served during lunch. If some students don't come back, they don't come back. It's their problems and their missing out on the education they could be getting. They should be the only one getting in trouble.

-People having lunch 8th, class 9th should have a 1-8 schedule instead of 2-0
People with a 1-8 schedule and have last period lunch could instead chose to leave school and get their own lunch then rather eating the food the school called "lunch" in the cafeteria.

-Letting the Handball Team use of the roof.

they tried this... people ended up mugged... sadly this neighborhood is NOT the greatest to do that in.

it is understood but not explicitly stated that people with 1-8 and lunch 8th may leave after 7th

some of the schedules are the way they are, because certain classes only go on at certain times

dont know if this was foe me to comment on, but seniors might be able to use the roof this year for lunch (as long as they meet some requirements
