Sophie Roach, junior: “Music and art education remains essential in schools because it doesn’t only allow us to learn about these subjects, it helps us understand cultures and historical occurrences. By being able to study the arts, we find new ways of expression and thought constantly.”
Emily Morcom, junior: “One of the biggest problems our country is currently facing is ICE. ICE has raised the concerns of many immigrants, even those here legally who have done nothing wrong, due to the increase of aggression that has been displayed especially when detaining people. Many have lost their lives or been separated from family due to this organization; therefore, many Americans argue that their procedures are unlawful and clearly violate human rights, yet it continues without change.”
Mrs. Caffey, teacher: “Schools should not offer digital learning on snow days, as most students won’t complete the work. Also, snow days are usually a break that students and teachers need, so they should be enjoyed. I will say, however, four snow days were too much for me. I was ready to get back to work!”
