Lack of Perfection
     Many things are good, but nothing is perfect.  Laguna Middle School, for example, is far from it.  I have written down some things that I think are flaws that can and should be fixed.
     One thing that really annoys me, as well as many other people, is how mixed up the drink vending machines are.  The juices are in the water machine, the waters, are in the PowerAide machine, the PowerAides are in the soda machine, and the sodas are nowhere to be found.  It gets really irritating sometimes.  It wouldn’t be very hard to fix, but no one is doing anything about it, which I find even more irritating and obnoxious.
     Another thing about the drink vending machines that annoys me is that we cannot purchase sodas or PowerAdes during school hours.  I would find that understandable if they didn’t sell sodas in the cafeteria, defeating the whole purpose of the soda and PowerAide machines being blocked.  Kids just get their sugar and caffeine from another source.
 Speaking of the cafeteria, even though their selection is pretty good, I don’t think they have enough cheese items.  I think more kids would probably eat lunch in the cafeteria if they had a wider variety of cheeses.  They should sell cheese separately, and have a ‘cheese bar’, which would be sort of like a salad bar, except with cheese instead of fruit, vegetables, including salad, bread, and other stuff.  Some types of cheeses that I recommend are: feta cheese, mild, medium, and sharp cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, jackcheese, and other various types like that.  Most kids probably wouldn’t like the idea of feta, because it is a cheese made from sheep milk, but they would probably like the taste, if they tried it.  A cheese bar would probably help profits.
 I think that someone should put air fresheners in the vents in the bathrooms, so that they don’t reek so much.  Then the air inside of them might seem more breathable.  This would make it so students might use the bathroom during break and lunch, and not be constantly leaving during class.
     I don’t think students should be forced to run during physical education classes.  It tires them out, and then they are too worn out to put any interest into the P.E. activity for the day.  This is one of the reasons why students do not always have full participation during the subject. Other students, though, have exactly the opposite problem: too much energy.  This could easily be solved by letting the students run for as long as they want, with as many breaks as they want, for the first seven minutes of class.  Those who do not wish to run could stretch during these seven minutes.  This way, everyone could put his/her full participation into the daily activity, which would take place during the other fifty-two minutes.
     Everyone always complains about having a sore back and neck, and they usually do this during math class.  The solution to this is to trade in all of the chairs in every math class with special reclining massage chairs, with the controls on the inside of the left arm rest.
    The last quirk that I have is that students are not allowed to skateboard on school campus.  It would allow students to move more quickly from class to class, lowering the amount of tardies to each class.
     Now I have addressed some of the things at my school, Laguna Middle School that I think are major faults at this school: drink vending machines, lack of a cheese bar, reek of the toilets, being worn out by running in Physical Education, the lack of reclining massage chairs in math class, and the fact that skateboards are not allowed on campus at Laguna Middle School.  I hope that any readers will see the brilliance of my complaints and suggestions, and enact them. But until that happens, I can only wait.
