Sunburn

roses are red

so are my shoulders

spring break brings sun

and a bit of skin cancer

but don’t mind that

we have some sunscreen to help with that

Enjoy my poem? It was made by my shoulder sunburn that hurts quite a lot. While everyone enjoyed their spring break I’m sure half the population at dominion will be peeling from spring breaks the first kiss of sunburn.

Spring Break

I am lucky enough to have a spring break during my school year. I think some students are blind to the idea that not all schools have a spring break. My only complaint is the teachers cheat the system. Teachers are technically not allowed to give work over the break. This policy allows students to regain stamina before SOL’s and exams. A problem with this policy is that teachers won’t give you homework over the break but they will give you big projects and/or time-consuming work that’s due the week you come back to break.

Think of it like this. While they aren’t giving you work you HAVE to do over break they are highly suggesting if you don’t do the work over break you are most likely screwed. Once we come back to school teachers will reassign work and homework to busy up your time so that if you didn’t do the big project or time-consuming work you probably won’t have enough time to get everything done.

While this really sucks, there aren’t many things students or officials can do. Let’s not undermine that teachers could be good full hearted people and let us have a break but that’s beyond them and we are asking “too much”. The reason officials and students can’t do much is because they are technically not breaking any rules. They found a loophole that is allowing them to do this. They are not giving homeowrk over the break and they arent making it due for the first two days back.

Complaining won’t help either. All we as the students can ask for is another policy be made to ban big assignments due near or around the break time. We have 7 more weeks of school im sure they can move back the due date just some.

Sincerely,

a very frustrated student
