Keep our priorities straight
We heard a U.S. Government class is going to merge with AP U.S. History. This seems unfair to both of the classes. Some students may have already took either of the classes so efficiency for both classes will drop. Why can’t our government provide more money to PSS instead of money to just dig a hole and fill it up again. There are over a thousand students in school with only three counselors and few teachers. There are over 30 students in one class, which seems not good. We can’t say we are studying in a good environment. Why doesn’t the government have money to support PSS so they can hire more teachers yet they have money to make traffic signals? PSS says “Students First” but they can’t keep what they say.
Another problem in our school is the dirty restroom. At least the toilet should flush but that doesn’t work either. PSS could use the money more wisely and fix the building and restrooms. When it rains, all the hallways are flooded and the ceiling is leaking.
All of these problems come from not spending money for the right things. If they care for students first, they should consider what they can do to help our education. Teachers can’t manage 30-40 students in one class and from there, we can find some students who can’t even get help from the teacher. Both PSS and our government should cooperate with each other and find the best solution for these problems.
