As all students are probably aware of now, the after-school ice-cream sales have been suspended.
The reason? Simple: TRASH! This is an increasing problem, which has eventually lead to a closing by the head of the school. Now, this problem could easily be solved by two factors, and the help of both students AND teachers.
First of all: Even though we are probably not much for admitting it, no matter what is said or what the counter argument is, the students are the biggest sinners in this matter. We are inconsiderate, leaving all the trash for someone else to pick up and not really caring. If only students would reconsider the fact that: sometimes there is no one but you, and no one else is gonna pick up YOUR trash, and therefore the only responsible act is to take care of it yourself. Also, not untill us, the students solve the problem of “trashing” the middle school lunch area after school, nothing can be done about the problem!
However, there is another, counter argument.
Back in the day, students would (after the first warning from the big guys to clean up after ourselves..) nicely and dutily pick up their ice cream wrapper and empty popcorn bags, and throw them into a convenient little blue trash can, right beside them. But then, something VERY strange happened: THEY DISSAPPEARED! No one knows where these cute little trashcans went, and we all miss them! They have been replaced by a few giant trashcans, of which (unfortunately) only two or three are left standing after lunch!
Then, it is no surprise, knowing the incredible laziness of highschool students and the not-knowing of 6th graders that there is trash laying around, when students have to walk all the way to the admin building, or the new science lab to throw their trash away! Now, this is of course not a legitimate reason, for inevitably we should all pick up our trash no matter where the nearest trash can is, but it is a fair reason to consider, and we encourage all students who reads this to suggest the idea of bringing back our blue’cans to their teachers, and to Mr. Muscow! The comeback of the icecream, is a matter of a shared effort from both students and the school!
I hereby encourage all students to read this “contract” and follow it!:
I promise to pick up my trash and throw it away (no matter where the trash cans are!)
But, I also promise to bugg my teachers untill the school get’s more trashcans! And when they finally (and hopefully) arrive, they’ll be properly used!
