Semester Essay #1

The principal has cancelled all extracurricular activities because students do not
cooperate with the school’s litter problem on the campus. I agree with the principle’s decision
because in order for students to follow directions one of their privileges have to be taken away in
order to do what they are suppose when they are told too. If students see that they can no longer
have extracurricular activities in school they will immediately begin to fix the litter problem at
school because they will want to do whatever it takes to once again have extracurricular
activities at their school. If the activities were never taken away the litter problem would
probably increase and become worse. The problem would worsen because students would see
that even though they are being told to fix the litter problem their administrators are not being
strict enough about the problem, so students would ignore it and would not care about the litter
problem.  
            When the principle notices that the students have been doing what they are suppose to do
and have kept the campus clean instead of being filled with litter. Maybe then the principle
would lift the punishment and allow that the school has their extracurricular activities again. In
order for this to happen the principle has to have the students undergo trial days, where they are
put to the test to see if the campus is being maintained clean. If the majority of the school is
doing what they are suppose to then the punishment would be lifted, but if certain students do not
seem to follow the rules their names should be written down and given an additional punishment.
            I think most people would agree with me that the principle made the appropriate decision.
If students are not put boundaries or regulations when they are told to do something students will
never take anything seriously. When a student especially a teen gets taken away their
privileges it is the end of the world for them. They then see that the situation is serious and have
to do what is being told to do. I think by the principle taking away extracurricular activities it
really caught the students attention and next time they will know to listen to what is being told
to them. Within a few days the campus would be litter free because students would want their
activities back, but they not only have to keep it clean for the trial days but for the rest of the
year. Student will now know that obey the school rules and listen to the principle.
