Cracking the Whip.

(Did anybody else hear the slashing noise of a whip in action, ripple through the air when they read that title? Hmmm... I must be a weird one..)

     Today, at precisely 8:05 AM, my English teacher read an announcement to my class. An announcement that, typically, did not coincide with me. I may have a dirty room and a messy bunch of papers in my backpack, but I am neither disrespectful nor messy at my learning environment.

     The announcement called for the action of cleaning. Teachers and staff said that they wanted us to be clean and organized. They reminded us to clean up our messes in our classrooms and in the hallways, and even jogged our memories about flushing the toilets! Haha. Who wouldn't flush a toilet at school? I don't think anyone wants to get called out on for leaving a mess in a porcelain fish grave. At the top of the white paper, it talks about what they expect of us. In a week (I'm guessing next Tuesday, since the announcement was given out on Tuesday...) they hope to see an eighty-five to ninety percent change, and if they do, we'll get an extra ten minutes of free time added around our lunch/reading period; if they don't see a good enough change, there will be a lot of consequences. Would you like to read the rest of the details? I'd be happy to post the announcement for you. Right here on this very blog(:
