Rules that differ between both buildings.

At the MIHS building,
You can't walk past the doors with a hat on without getting yelled at.
In MHS, most teachers don't care,
And you can at least get away with it for a little while.

At the MIHS building,
If they so much as suspect cell phone usage,
You will become the proud owner of a Saturday detention.
In MHS, you can often use phones,
And teachers care even less if it's between classes.

At the MIHS building,
You can only sit 8 to a lunch table,
Or you get yelled at.
In MHS,
They could care less how many people are at a table.

There's so many rules,
And they aren't even the same in each building,
And we're supposed to be one school,
One student body.
And the rules that are the same,
Are enforced differently and with different severities.

It all just seems a bit fishy to me.
idunno,
What do you all think?

I think it's okay, kind of a reward for the upperclassmen for completing two years at the rule-ridden intermediate. How is skipping at the high school? easy?

Skipping differs,
Depends what class.
A bit for some,
Impossible for others,
Incredibly easy for a few.
But underclassmen who take classes at the highschool and upperclassmen who take classes at MIHS get caught in the fray,
And I just think it makes for a bunch of confusion.

Rules rules rules, I think it depends upon the teacher honestly.
Are they normal enough to have common sense?
Usually not.
Do they follow stupid shit?
Usually so.
Are some teachers cool enough to overlook retarded rules like the 8-to-a-table?
Usually not.


Circumstance is what drives the people among people.
Perhaps with a little luck as well.
As my Uncle always quoted.

It's better to be lucky than good, skill can only take you so far.

My philosophy on this subject follows my German teacher, Mr. Stephany. Basically he allows us for five minutes during the middle of class to do whatever. This includes iPods, phones, and socializing. I feel that this 'break' keeps our entire class more intentive, and more willingly to learn. Also if we abuse this privilege it can easily be taken away for that day, week, etc. I would like to see more classes adopt this practice. Also between classes phones should be permitted, but i'm iffy on iPods. There is always that small chance of being called to the office via intercom, and if you are listing to music you won't hear it.

They usually don't call people over the intercom between classes,
They wait until you are in the class.
And if you are in the class, you have an entire class plus teacher to hear it.
But I really do like Mr. Stephany's view on it,
I can picture that making class over 9000 times better.
I also do think phones should be allowed between classes.

I'm just saying you have to take these things in consideration.

Fair enough

the issue with phones will be people reading them n texting while walking therefore running into eachother and causing congestion n pissing everyone off

I kind of agree with this. I think you should be able to earn it. Plus, a lot of teachers feel by now you have grown up since being in the intermediate.

But what about underclassmen at MHS,
And upperclassmen at MIHS,
They just get caught in the confusing crossfire.

This is also true.
People shouldn't be treated better or worse simply because they're older.
I know a lot of seniors with the maturity of a walrus,
And some freshman who are 50x more mature than some adults.

The reason why they are different at the two schools is because the teachers at MHS believe you are mature enough to make your own decisions and so if you want to blow their class off then that's your decision, while at MIHS they still believe you are still immature and at middle school where you cant make those decisions yet

But most people in all grades have classes in both schools.

Well most people's core classes are in their high school.
