New rules An opportunity for a 14-year-old to run his or her own school is a dream come true. If I were to run Weldon High School, I would first remodel our whole school because it is really old. I would make sure that our school has a pool placed in the gym along with a pool table, exercise equipment and a vending machine full of refreshments for only five cents, anything you want. As for breakfast and lunch, our school will serve sausage, bacon and eggs, grits, and all kinds of breakfast juices. For lunch, chicken nuggets, fries, steak and healthy fruits and vegetables. That’s just some of the stuff that would be served. Students would be able to wear anything they like to school as long as it isn’t gang-related. If a fight occurs, the person who threw the first lick will be suspended for three days while the other will remain going to school. The 9th through 12th grades will each have four basic classes such as algebra, English, and history. And they will have two electives of their choice, such as gym, art and horticulture. There will be a 15-minute break in between classes, including smoking breaks. If students are caught smoking illegal drugs in school other than cigarettes, they will be escorted from the school and suspended for one month with unexcused absences.
