Class Meetings Inform All

Why are there monthly class meetings? The answer to this familiar question amongst the students on campus is simply because there is an adequate amount of important information, according to different grade levels, that needs to be distributed to all students. Rather it be an issue regarding sophomores and dress, code or plans for senior trip, class meetings are pertinent in order to make sure that all students receive the important information and notices regarding their class of either sophomore, junior, or senior. However, are class meetings actually beneficial to all of the students?
“Class meetings are a benefit to all grade levels to get information about what’s going on in their class year,” said senior Spruce Wilson. Spruce believes that class meetings are important in the event that there is an issue with a certain class that requires immediate attention, such as attendance or dress code. “I like class meetings, they keep me very informed on crucial information,” said Wilson.
On the other hand, however, some feel as if class meetings are inefficient and not needed. “I don’t think they [class meetings] are needed,” said senior Christopher Henry. Henry believes that class meetings aren’t beneficial because they inform students on general information in which they might already know. “Class meetings are a waste of time”, said Henry.
Overall, class meetings have proved to be beneficial to the majority of students. With official class boards and class councils, new decisions pertaining to each grade levels are decided on constantly. In order to get the classes informed on the decisions, class meetings are essential to have monthly.
“Class meetings are beneficial to us all”, said senior Donvian Green. “They are especially beneficial to inform seniors regarding information pertaining to the activities and traditions of seniors.” In order to keep students informed, class meetings will be the in the norm for a monthly event, until the end of the school year.
