Change has come

Change has come. No, this article is not about Barack Obama, I'm talking about right here at Constitution. Many changes have been made since the 3rd Quarter. At the beginning of the third quarter here at CHS, our students underwent some big adjustments to the school schedule. Students here switched classes. The 10th graders switched from Gym to Humanities, from Spanish to English, and Biology to Geometry. Of course, people are dealing with these changes differently.

Although children enjoy their new classes, some children miss friends they had old classes with. Some children went from having all classes with their friends to having little or none together. Sophomore Kameko says, “ I wanted to stay in classes with my best friend Georgia. Now I only have one class with her”

Children also miss their old classes. 10 Grader Ralph misses Biology, after he started taking Geometry instead. “I like Romero, but I had a lot of friends with me in Spanish” he added. For some students, the roster changes bring about discussions about our schedule. Many students feel that instead of 90 minute classes foe half of the year, we should have 45 minutes instead. “90 minute classes are too long. They get boring” Kameko believes.

Others believe that 90 minutes are fine. Maggie Irwin, graduating class of 2011 says
“ 45 minutes doesn’t give enough time for class". It's clear everyone is still getting used to these changes.
