Really, Marquette?; School Temperatures and Hall Monitors

Really%2C+Marquette%3F%3B+School+Temperatures+and+Hall+Monitors
Hello Marquette, once again it’s your favorite columnists Ted & Ellen. We have an exceptionally outstanding issue of Really, Marquette. We’re naming more names than Taylor Swift’s ‘Speak Now’ and it is going to get heated.

As you know, we both love to jam out to a nice pop song and one of our favorites is “Hot N Cold” by Katy Perry, but what we don’t like is the hot and cold going on inside our school.

Really, Marquette?

Global warming? No, it’s just our school. But seriously, what is with the temperature at MHS?

Is there a man sitting next to the thermostat who just decides to switch it down after every class? We pack at least three different jackets just to get through the day.

This building literally defies the laws of science, with every step in each hallway hitting a different temperature. “Ripley’s Believe it or Not” needs to dedicate a special just to our school’s temperature.

We don’t know how much more we can take and we’re starting to get concerned for the students. Is it really beneficial to have fluctuating temperatures just to save some money?

Shout out to Room 204: We swear we saw an icicle in the back corner once.

Aside from the always changing hallway temperatures there are other issues haunting the hallways.

These are the overly serious hall monitors. Now before you get offended, we appreciate the hard work and hours these hall monitors put into their job. We get that walking around all day can be tiring and we know first hand those hallways are vicious jungles, but we are concerned by how serious the position has become.

Really, Marquette?

Do the hall monitors really need to check every bathroom stall after the bell rings? What happened in those stalls years back that some administrator decided it would be a good idea to kick open each stall in search of late students. We understand some students do linger a little too long in the bathroom, but checking every stall gets a little excessive. What if the lock was broken in while a student was using the toilet? Is catching a late student worth paying for his future therapy appointments? These decisions need to be evaluated carefully before some students are scared permanently.

Our beloved hall monitors join the ranks of mall cops, study hall proctors, and top-of-slide lifeguards. While all respectable positions…c’mon. Really?
