Today on the weekly outlook we have got two students’ opinions on whether or not we should have an open campus. Open campus is when students are free to leave campus during the day. There are some positives and negatives about open campus. Some of the positives are when you forget something at home like something for your sport or your class you can go on leave and then come back. Also during lunch it would be nice to leave and go home to eat or go somewhere for lunch if you wanted.
With an open campus the students are granted more independence and responsibility over their own schedules, and an open campus motivates them to manage time better and make decisions on their own to better them. Some Negatives on open campus would be that they have the freedom to not come back if they didn’t want to. They also have opportunities to make bad decisions while they are unsupervised and there can be concerns like car accidents and overall about their safety.
On the positives Ernie Mendoza had to say “We should have open campus because we have nasty food. And if I forget something at home I can go and pick it up and just come back.”
On the negatives Noe Pacheco said “ We should have on campus because if you leave the school is responsible for that and it is just not safe you can like go to store and say like there is a robbery and you can get robbed and it could maybe be blamed on the school for letting them go to the store because of the open campus.”
