Senior Alyssa Botessi eagerly waits for her mom to pick her up from school. She has her driver’s driving license and a car of her own, but there’s one thing she is missing—a parking pass. As soon as she gets home, she jumps in her car and drives to Hart Mmiddle S school for track practice. “I get dropped off at school by my mom, then I get picked up by her and driven home only for me to take my car up to Hhart or Sstoney for track practice,” Botessi said. “It’s very inconvenient with my track schedule, especially this year because not only is part of the parking lot closed, but the track is too, so the Rochester track team takes their practices elsewhere. It’s hard to say when practice ends, so having my car there with me at practice is important.” Even though senior Mariam Kaakarli was lucky enough to have received a parking pass at the beginning of the school year, she has witnessed many of her friends struggle to come up with solutions to their parking pass dilemmas. “For a while people were able to park in the teacher lot without getting a warning, but then the people doing that …show more content…

A parking spot on the grass is better than no parking spot at all.” Kaakarli has a solution of her own to solve the issue. “I feel like the school could have come up with some sort of compromise with Kroger,” Kaarkarli said. “Maybe a portion of Kroger’s parking lot could have been reserved for student drivers.” Botessi believes that due to the limited number of spots, parking at the school should be an upperclassman privilege. “I believe that sophomores should not be able to have parking passes. They still have another two years to be able to drive to and from the school, and most people are not able to drive or afford a car when they are a sophomore

“There are 1500 other students filling the hallways and stairwells of a four story building.” Then you have to get out of the school parking lot, but the parking lot is encircled by the school bus loop, so you can’t get your car out until the buses fill up and leave. Which, Adnan wrote, “took about ten to fifteen minutes.” The piece of evidence I found supports my claim because it clearly states that if you were to get out of class, halls

In this letter, the author argues that all students should be required to take the driver’s education course at Centerville High School which is a mandatory program sponsored by the high school to solve the teenage driving problems in the town of Centerville. He supports his argument by presenting some evidence, however, there can be a number of flaws in his argument, rendering it unconvincing.

This makes the almost exclusive personal automobile user the perfect candidate to read Shoup’s work. The chapter is further tailored to this audience by avoiding urban planning jargon and by using examples that make each point understandable and real to an everyday person.

There are many reasons for this, one being the small spaces allotted to park in. It’s a lot more fun when the spaces are painted straight instead of slanted.

It is in walking distance from the school and could easily be demolished for a parking garage. It could be specifically for Point Park students and faculty and the only way to get in is to scan your ID. This would solve all the college kids problems of saying “There’s never any parking”, “I’m always late for my classes because I drive around for ten minutes looking for a spot.” or “I’m seriously broke from how much I feed the meters” (Kercher). They are already paying enough in tuition, room and board, and their meal plans that it could cover the cost to build a parking garage.

Shortage of parking spaces on a college campus is a hassle. Campus parking lots should be expanded and limited to various campus attendees as well as the implementation of regulations on parking pass renewals. The first proposed solution to overcrowded campus parking lots is the introduction of a pay to park method. With an obvious exclusion to faculty and staff, parking meters should be installed ideally to reduce the number of idle vehicles on campus. Designated locations with parking meters would help utilize the parking areas for multiple individuals during the educational day.

When one hears "school security" these days, the word that goes with it is "tighten." Indeed, given both external threats and unruly (sometimes violent) student behavior, it makes sense to think that the most sensible course of action is to err on the side of more stringent measures, harsher sanctions and less permissive administration. It largely comes down to liability - whenever an individual with a history of troubled or criminal behavior snaps or becomes involved in an incident severe enough to attract government or media attention, many of the questions asked in the aftermath are variations on "why was this person not in jail. " The same applies to schools, where administrators often end up having to justify themselves to parents and

Albert Einstein once said, "Everybody is a genius... But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid". Unfortunately, most school systems depict this quote. They judge a significant amount of the population by their ability to answer a few questions. They rate them with letters and numbers, and force students to be represented by these letters and numbers for the rest of their lives.
