Lack Of Communication

...I thought it was bad in men, but oh gosh...
Do you need a group of people who don't communicate directions or information very well??
SHHS would be the place to go for that!

With a new school year starting, of course Freshmen have their first day and then the upperclassmen have their first day with the Freshmen, and our very [very] messed up bell schedule we have 7-period classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. What happened to Wednesdays and Thursdays? Oh yeah, we have block periods with PRIDE period both days...but I'm not done yet...We also have early release on Wednesdays [which used to only be on Fridays, last year]
To add...Not even the counselors know what the bell schedule is for this week.

If you don't know why I'm on such a rage about this...Let's take a look at the bell schedule the past 3 years:

My Freshmen year [2008-2009]: It was just a nice block schedule, with early release Fridays. The only problem was, all students were stuck with a tutorial class...A class that we sit in for an hour and a half and not get ANY credit for. Everyone could deal with that amazing bell schedule, including the tutorial time, because it was truly just social time :)
This was better known as the best schedule evar!

Sophomore year [2009-2010]: All the amazingness changed to the boring 7-period bell schedule...all day, every day. At the end of my Freshmen year, I did start a petition to keep the block schedule. Turns out we didn't have enough signatures and no one knew when the big board meeting was [not very well thought out plan]. This is why no one ever has good memories of their Sophomore year in high school *sigh*

Junior year [2010-2011]: Oh how the school board thought it would be just fantastic to have a 7-period bell schedule...mixed with a PRIDE period on Thursdays, block schedule for Thursdays and Fridays, and early release Fridays. This was probably the next best bell schedule compared to my Freshmen year. Oh, and PRIDE periods were equivalent to the tutorial periods...But this time, we only had 30 minutes of work time and it was still not accredited.

Senior year [2011-2012]: Like I said way above...
Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays we have regular 7-period class schedule.
Wednesdays we have 2nd, PRIDE, 4th, Lunch, and 6th periods, plus early release.
Thursdays we have 1st, PRIDE, 3rd, Lunch, 5th, and 7th periods.

It's honestly so much better to have early release on Fridays and not waste students' time with putting us in PRIDE period...two times a week this year!

Reason for the school changing the schedule just about every year, I've been going to school here...?
It saves money.
-.-

I could on and on about the financial problems our school has had. Oh gosh. But I don't want to get started on that...plus I have some other important things to do tonight.
Upperclassmen: have a good last-day-of-summer evening :)
