For the first month of the school year, students and teachers had classrooms filled with students, some classes over the limit with students. This made it hard for some teachers to get students to focus and get their classes work done. Just recently though, all this changed with some students having brand new schedules. 

Some students who are given these new schedules have new teachers, new teachers in the same classes during different periods, and now will have a somewhat harder time adjusting to their new schedule. This makes it hard for some students who were getting used to their class, and how their teacher was teaching them. With the brand new classes and teachers, it’s somewhat like the first day of school for some students, like sophomore Jonathan Johnson. 

“The new schedule has affected my time greatly. Going from my original schedule, which I was already used to, not only swapping periods, but also swapping a teacher. It is a switch I did not want,” said Johnson. 

With some teachers attempting to build relationships with their students, to get to know them better and help them learn better these new schedules have made it somewhat difficult with new students in their classroom, or same students just in different periods. Making some classes smaller, but at the cost of student teacher relationships. 

“The schedule changed only affected by seventh period geometry class. It grew bigger by about ten people. It really has not affected the way I teach, there are more people in the class.” Kevin Hook 

With teachers gaining less and maybe more students, some students believe that it’s somewhat unfair for some students to be moved to different classes or periods without asking the student, or having any chance of going back to their original class. 

“I do not believe it will help. I asked both of my teachers, my old geometry and strength and conditioning, and they both said not many other people were swapped to those classes and periods, so why did mine need to be swapped?” said Johnson “I also specifically looked in my old 1st period geometry and noticed it was pretty much the same amount of people if not less. I see no reason why the change was needed, especially that drastically,” said Johnson.
