Dress Code, oh my!
Students get dress coded everyday due to their clothes.
Ripped shirts, crop tops, leggings and short skirts must go!
At least while in school.
by Raven G.
The administration team and teachers are more likely to dress code girls for their clothing due to body exposure but is this fair or solely based on one's perspective and is that perspective sexist?
The students are left with no choice at times when all of the stores sell crop tops, tight pants and short skirts. To eliminate all of the dress code violations the school should implement an affordable uniform plan. Uniforms will eliminate all other issues and enhance school safety. What are your thought?

Lunchroom Blues
by Kathy Huynh
Ever since I began going to Morrow High School, I have come to the realization that each lunch period that we have is far too short. Lunch is separated into four different sections where a certain group of classes goes to eat lunch by area and floor. Each lunch period is at most 25 minutes long, sometimes students are released early to ensure that they made it in time. There is an estimate of 2,000 students that are enrolled in this school, imagine that amount of students being split into 4 different groups, that is 500 students per lunch period. That is a hefty amount of people in one lunch room, meaning a huge line of people waiting for food.
Most students spend the majority of their time at lunch in the line waiting to be next in line to receive their meal. With the long lunch lines, students are not given enough time in order to eat. They are forced to throw away half of their partially eaten food, wasting food in the process. Even in some scenarios, students who were not able to eat are allowed to stay during the next lunch wave in order to eat which causes disruptions to the student’s learning because they would have to miss class. In most schools around the country, lunch periods are at least 30 minutes, so why should our school be any different?
I have interviewed students throughout the school, collecting their opinions on the lunch period we have. Many students believe that the lunch period is too short and have complained that 5 minutes was taken off of lunch. Some students have even said that adding more time to lunch will reduce the stress of having to write passes for students who had to stay past their lunch period in order to eat. On the other hand, other students have stated that having a short lunch period expands the opportunity for more consumption of knowledge.
Even though education may be important, eating and getting in nutrition is of way more significance compared to education because you need food in order to survive while school is not a necessity to live.
