A problem in Bell High School
I attend a very dirty school where we have trashed up hallways, tagged up classrooms, and messy students who never pick up after themselves, and all of this concludes to a very disgusting campus. The reason we have a dirty campus is because the students who attend Bell High School are not disciplined enough to keep their school clean where they spend most of their day. This has become a problem because of our griminess. Our school can obtain a better reputation in terms of cleanliness if we solve this problem.
Our school has a big problem when it comes to keeping our campus clean. For instance, the trashed up hallways, tagged classrooms, smelly restrooms, and other dirty areas like the lunch areas. It does not only show how little some students care, but it also shows how ignorant some students can be. Most of these examples shows how little of appreciation students have towards what our school supplies us with, like books, tables, material, etc.
. During lunch some students do not bother throwing away their trash, and they expect others to pick it up for them. On other occasions, when students do not have any trash nearby they will just leave it on the ground and it will be stepped on and the ground will be sticky and it will become a mess.
If we try to keep our campus cleaner, it would not only look better, but we will also save money that is usually being wasted on paint to cover up tagging, and on new books that are usually torn apart or tagged on.
A dirty campus leads to roaches, rats, sticky floors, smelly hallways, etc. We need to sanitize our school so that it will not lead to anything serious.
Some solutions to this problem can be to supply our school with more trashcans. We should also have more days when students can get to clean the campus. Instead of having detention, they can have trash pick-up instead of having them sit in a room for hours not doing anything.
Beyond said, a majorly problem in our school is the indecency towards our campus. We do not want our school to look bad by having it tagged or vandalized. We can definitely make a change in our school by being courteous and treating our campus like a home.
Very interesting Paulina. I appreciate that you think the school could change if the students worked harder and took more responsiblity. One suggestion I have is to ask a friend to read your essay first, in order to keep from repeating yourself. Maybe having this other opinion will give you more information to discuss and help you see another students viewpoint about who is to blame for the trash.
