 If you could choose two things to change about our high school campus, what would they be and why?


If I were given the option of changing two things at Castle Park High School, I would choose to change the students we have now to students that actually HAVE pride in the school they attend. Another thing I would choose to change is to instead of having grades, to have a "Pass/Fail" type of a system.  The reason in which I would choose to change people at our school to people who actually take pride in the school in which they attend is because it seems as though the people I go to school with go to school and then just go home, it's nothing special to them, it;s a place they are forced to go to because their parents make them.  Many of the students that attend Castle Park say that the school is ghetto, which I think if they are calling our school ghetto they have not seen the ghetto because our school is quite luxurious compared to schools that are actually ghetto. So it would be really nicd to have people that are proud to attend the school they attend, go to school functions with school spirit and the rest of all that good stuff that goes along with having pride! The reason for why I would prefer a "Pass/Fail" system rather than actually receiving grades is because it is a lot harder trying to aim for that letter grade that in the end really means nothing. It would be a lot easier for people who are trying in school and rather than focusing on getting that grade up to actually focus on understanding the material of that class you are trying to get information out of.
