Facebooks Distractions

Facebook is a major distraction to kids in school, and i feel like will be a bigger issue next year with the Ipads. Not every class now are you accessed to a computer, and even though smart phones have the internet not every teacher allows phone usage, but it is still a big problem. With the ipads facebook will be accessed at all points of the day. Facebook is already a big distraction to kids getting their work done out of school. Before every test, paper, or homework, you'll always log on facebook seeing someone has a status being posted about it, or people from your class will be on facebooking chatting one another about it. Facebook chat is a part of the distraction. When you go on facebook, one of the first things you notice is who is on chat, and if people you talk to are on, you will most likely chat with them. I think that facebook will always be a distraction to students regardless what they have infront of them.

Facebook app

Facebook is an app on the iPads that could come in good use next years for teachers. Many students first reaction when getting the iPad will be to check facebook. Teachers can make groups on facebook for work or assignments and instructions with it. When joining a group and posting in it everyone in it will receive a notification so students will not have an excuse to not get it. It's also a way for everyone to post and comment so everyone in the group will be able to see.

Parking Privelages

For the past two years i've seen a big change in the student parking lot. When i was a freshman and sophomore the parking lot was packed, but since my junior and senior year i've seen a lot of clumped and messes in the parking lot. To start off i feel like the seniors and juniors should get the right away to drive. The parking lot is little as it is for the kids that we have, and when sophomores are driving they are taking up more space. There has been plenty of times (espicially this year) where my car has been blocked in and when i needed to leave id have to wait because of all the cluster of all the cars. It's one thing if people are parking illegally when their is plenty of space, but this year there has been cars all the way to the entrance/exit and cars are still being blocked in because of how many their is with less space. Also, i feel that some seniors should be able to park at the gym. The cafe parking lot is packed with the majority of the teachers, and the gym has some too, but kids who's homerooms are close to the gym like Mr Jackling, Ms Doughty, Ms Santos, Ms Mac and other ones in those areas, should have the right to park at the gym. The parking lot just isn't big enough for all the kids who are getting cars these days, and espicially since when you are a sophomore and most of juniors have the six month rule, so they cant drive neighbors or friends, so every individual is taking their own car to school which is taking up more and more space. I feel as if some kids should get to use the gym for parking, if it gets out of control then administrators should find something that works for everyone, maybe switching off turns or doing the first 20 kids gonig down the list so new kids can park their every year, but for right now the parking lot is way to jammed and there are to many people being blocked in or parking badly because there is not enough room.
