In addition to Haley Cotageorge's excellent report in the most recent DHS El Diablo student newspaper, there was also an interesting opinion submitted on pg 2 by DHS student Taylor Graham as part of a point/counter point article on open vs. closed campus policies. Arguing for an open campus, Taylor writes that DHS needs an open campus because:
“ For students, lunch is a wonderous reprieve from the monotony of school. From 8 to 3 students sit vacantly inert, jaded by the teachers’ droning voices, desperately trying to escape the grasps of beckoning sleep. Without lunch, school would be hard to make it through.”
It is an interesting and unfortunate perspective offered by Mr. Taylor. Again we appreciate his candor and are sympathetic to his challenges. Hopefully he will cross paths with an inspirational teacher that can make his high school experience more engaging and fufilling. It's also fantastic to consider the fact that although we may be a little "crazy" here at AHS, we have yet to put any students to sleep! Sweet dreams.
