Walking into Lakeview is now a new scene. Instead of seeing students standing around talking to their friends, you see them walking to class as if their eager to learn.
The No Standing Policy was put into effect at the start of the new semester. Many students were outraged by the newest policy because what was once their hot hang is now no more. Other students plainly accepted and obliged to the change.
“We plan to gain a safer environment for our students,” assistant Principal Mr. Lofton said.
The safety of the students is top priority at LC. The administration makes sure students have the safest possible surroundings.
“Many students felt uncomfortable walking through the main hall,” Lofton said.
Some students felt that when they walked through the halls, the jam-packed hallway made them feel uneasy and it was a struggle just to get to class. This policy was put into effect for different reasons such as the excessive tardiness and to create a better setting for our students.
“I feel that there is no point to this new rule because actions that happened before this rule can still happen,” senior Ashley Wilson said.
After the policy was put into effect, some students of LC began to realize that is was a good idea from the start.
“It’s easier to get to class. It makes our school appear more professional,” junior Markenous Matthews said.
The orange signs are a reminder that the sooner we get to class the more time we have to prepare ourselves for tests, quizzes, and notes. The No Standing Policy has improved not only the look of our school, but it’s taught the students time management.
