If we continue the block schedule monday’s are useless and most teaches act like they cannot do anything with the 45 min period so why not get rid of it

→ we could extend the school year

U.S soldiers are heavily underpaid even though they risk their lives while going into war. This makes it harder for U.S soldiers to make a living in the United States when they come back to their casual lives.

Student parking is a big issue at Tech. Students are constantly late due to the lack of parking. The only options are the surrounding neighborhood streets and theyŕe almost always full. What would help is if they changed the street cleaning times to after school or even have it on the weekend. Providing a student parking lot on or near campus would also be very beneficial. Passes or permits could be distributed to make the process easier.

Cultural clubs create a sense of unity and can provide students with a community of people who may share the same experiences, thus giving them a better sense of belonging in a school where they may feel somewhat isolated from school culture. However, clubs in general tend to lack monetary support which makes it difficult for them to thrive at school.
