School Improvement by Shykira Cox
At Anacostia Senior High School we have a lot of problems. We have students getting suspended and we have low test grades. I think this school is in need of improvement. The reasons why I believe this school needs improvement are because children are getting suspended and missing out on class work, students are failing, and the school is dirty.
The first reason this school needs improvement is because children are getting suspended and missing out on class work. Students should not get suspended because it's like a vacation to them. They will not change their ways. Instead of putting them out of school for suspension, we should have in school suspension. In that way, students can still have good grades.
The second reason why I believe this school needs improvement is because students are failing. If you come to school every day there is no reason you should fail. I can't blame it all on the students; it is the teachers' fault also. Some teachers do not let students in the class. This school needs tutors. If students had tutors their grades could improve.
The third reason why I believe this school is in need of improvement is because it is dirty. Who wants to walk into a dirty school every day? I don't! If students help out, the building will stay clean. There should be no writing on the walls or eating in the halls. We need to treat our schools like we treat our homes.
These are my reasons why this school needs improvement. If we do these things we can get good grades, have a nice looking school, and students will improve their grades. By doing these things we can also have the most decent school on the other side of the river.

Couldn't agree more about suspension...for those students that are failing, what do you think teachers should do to increase their attendance or the amount of time they will come in after school to make up the work or tests that they have missed?
