imaGoodBoyNow Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 As a very small private I think we’re good our enrollment is only 475-650 any given year, but what about schools like Allen and other high enrollment schools, how the hell do you practice social distancing in the hallways and in the class room when you got +5000 kids roaming the building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't take the Pandemic all that serious. Their government is mainly repubes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Orlando area, with the exception of Jones High, the only historically black high school remaining, enrollment ranges from 2,300 to well over 4,000 per high school. At Jones, it is between 1,500 and 2,000. And, most of these schools are at or near capacity. The only possible solutions I see are: 1. Have morning school beginning at 6:30 am and afternoon school beginning at 1 pm. Split the kids roughly equally between the two streams. Of course, this will create big problems for extracurricular activities including sports. But there is no other solution except. 2. Have staggered short terms (four to six weeks each) instead of semesters. Have different streams of students attend school during different terms. This would require all year school with only a short break for Christmas holidays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, nowadays more and more kids refrain from using lockers, based on what I've noticed the past years. There would be no change among students morale if lockers were abandoned for next year. I have never used a locker in my life, and I know several kids who haven't either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough, especially at our school, which has two main buildings, although there are lockers in more than 5 buildings/areas. To walk from one end of our school to the other, it takes around 10 minutes at normal speed. And you aren't guaranteed a locker near the majority of your classes, so most kids just abandon it.

True, but that's still an eight year gap between me and you. And if that math doesn't add up with me being a senior at 16, it's because I skipped a grade. But anyways, at least here, kids find the weirdest ways to hide their illegal substances. They even know the exact gas stations where they can get vape without having to present a license. I choose not to engage with people like that, though. Haven't even drank Coke yet (but that's probably because of my laziness). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tried either. I don't want to be one of THOSE kids, so I tend to shy away from drugs and illegal activity. Good to know that I'm not the only one who thinks the same way about cigarettes and weed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
