open campus
Open campus is very common in many different high schools for upperclassman especially seniors. It is popular mostly for seniors because it is a good way to give them the college class experience because at college you will have breaks in between your classes or maybe even have one class a day. High schools mainly debate about open campus for the bad reasons. Burlington is one school that does not have it and I think that starting it would be a good idea. Many teachers do not like the idea because they believe students take advantage of it. In some cases I can agree because some arguments are that kids will just leave and not come back. But if that is going to be a main issue then teachers should make stricter rules and regulations on having open campus. For example when students leave for having open campus that period the next period they should have to sign back in the office so the school knows they came back. There are many rules that can be made off of it. I think it will be a good idea because it helps students with getting the hang of what they are going to be doing for college. Also, seniors mainly have enough credits. They take all the required courses from freshman year. If there are students who choose to not go to class or do not have enough credits then they do not have to have open campus, open campus can begin to be a privilege for some individuas. I think open campus is a mainly good idea for high school kids and I think that Burlington should consider to put it in our schedule.
