It seems that there is very little respect in this school from the teachers or from the students.
With the latest crime of the boy’s bathroom incident, it seems that the students are purposefully trying to deface the school. However, this is only the latest of offences of respect towards the teachers and school that students have committed.
Many students, myself included, wear their hats inside the school day in and day out. This is not a serious offence, however so many student wear their hats that Ms. Szostack has taken it upon herself to collect hats from students, only returning them at the end of the day.
Another offense is the vandalizing of the school building with drawings on the walls. I’m sure everybody remembers the time last year when every hallway had “Lynch *****” or “Ruthless”. Even now, there are stupid drawings of penguins outside near the senior parking lot.
The teachers and principals aren’t completely blameless. The tardy police are insanely harsh, with no room for error. Also, some teachers feel the need to lash out at every student who put a toe out-of-line.
To fix all these problems, I think that students should be more respectful to the school and administration of the building.
In return, I think that the administration should give students more leniency on the tardy policy and don’t yell at every little mistake we make.

You have only scratched the surface of this issue. I'd like you to really think about the issues you are discussing and come up with some legitimate solutions to the problem of mutual respect between teachers and students. I know it is a commentary format, but try to be fair and balanced in your discussion.
