There has been a lot of construction in our school lately during classes. The construction causes fumes to go into the school atmosphere. In a couple of classes people have had headaches or asthma attacks while the construction workers are drilling. The 7th graders wanted to go on strike because of these harsh conditions but most of them got in trouble because people told them not to wear a mask which is what they did to go on strike. They had their masks taken away and had to stop putting tape on their shirts of sayings of “Got Air? ‘Cause we don’t!” or “Where Did All the Air Go?” Students thought that it wasn’t fair that we couldn’t go on a silent strike.
I was all for the strike and felt that we didn’t make such a riot and there was no need to make us take our masks off or rip the tape of our shirts. I mean it’s not like anybody got hurt or anything. I would have totally been against the whole strike thing but that wasn’t the situation. The teachers looked at the strike at a different perspective then we did. During the time that we did strike, people never got hurt or anything.
I think the teachers could have handled it differently and not make such a big deal about it. Construction is still going on; we can’t do anything about it. Some of my teachers still get annoyed by the racket going on while classes are getting taught. Teachers get confused at themselves because they can’t teach their students. I just think that they could just do construction after school or on weekends, not during school. There has been a lot of construction in our school lately during classes.
