Winter session: Overcrowded school



On our English lesson we discussed the problem of overcrowded North Hollywood High School. We investigated student`s letters, their opinion to this problem and tried to voice our views.
The ways that were proposed by authority don`t satisfy students, their parents and teachers. The authority offers to go year-round with four tracks. But it settles the problem partly. The weak side is cutting school year by 17 days. It influences on testing scores and has many other defects. Also families are unable to coordinate family times and vacations.
According to all this arguments, students and their parents met this plan with much opposition. Several times they organized peaceful protests to abolish this program.
Nevertheless, authority has it`s own notion on this question. The main of them are shown in Venn diagram. There are also student`s and parent`s reasons against the program.
As we can see all participants have their strong evidences. But to my mind every member is caused detriment. Authority should find other ways to solve the problem of overcrowded school. One of these ways can be building new schools.
