Recently, the 7th-grade boys’ and girls’ bathrooms have been closed. If you will be needing to use the restroom you will need to go sign in to the office, then go to the bathroom in the commons. Is it a 7th-grade curse? These are a few opinions from some students and staff at DMS.
Kai Bishop, a seventh-grade student who has expressed her feeling about their bathrooms being close. Bishop believes that it is ignorant and shouldn’t be tolerated, as gross some students could be here. Kai Bishop said, “as if one person caused this and we should not all be punished for this one person’s actions.”
Another seventh-grade student, Seth Woods explains his thoughts about the bathrooms. He believes that it was expected of him because it had lots of stuff going on. Woods says “nowadays people are just taking this stuff way too far, and I still wonder who would think it would be a good idea to.”
Anthony Lada, a 7th-grade student, expressed his opinions about the closing of the seventh-grade bathrooms. Woods believes that the closing of the bathroom is dumb, and hopefully, it doesn’t happen again. Seth says, “we should be more mature and more considerate of others.”
Whitney Gdanski a seventh-grade teacher, speaks her point of view around the bathrooms being close. She said that the 7th-graders are very immature and need to be taught a lesson. Gdanski said, “I don’t like it at all them walking to the bathroom and this gives them some time to horseshoe in the hallways and miss over half of the class time.” Whitney Gdanski says she dislikes, is disgusting, and is ridiculous how these kids are doing these things.
Cynthia Castillo, the new office lady, explains her thoughts about the closing of the 7th-grade bathrooms. She says, that students coming into the office to sign in into the office is confusing because Alex and she always confuse them with the students that need something. She also says there are many distractions. She said, “there is a lot of students who come in every day, I estimate around 100 students come in the office for bathrooms. It also depends on the day, Fridays are the busiest.” she explains what it is like going to the bathroom: students have to walk to the office to sign in, go to the commons restrooms, go back to the office and sign out, there a lot of time out of class.
The thing had been going on for years and years. Seems like it’s a trend for the 7th-grade bathrooms to be closed, because it has been going on for years. What goes through these kids’ minds when they decide to do this. When you get to 7th-grade at least your bathroom will get close once. It is just the trend that kids think should be done.
