Many students feel this is a positive change. According to the students, when there are closed campuses, the tardies go down. It has been proved by surveyers that when students leave campus to go eat at home, friend's house, or a fast food place, they tend to arrive later for their next class due to traffic and lines at restaurants. So with a closed campus, the students will not have those tardies because they will already be at the high school.
The second thing is that when students leave campus for lunch, they tend not to come back at all. Now that no freshman can leave, it makes it harder for one of them to walk out and leave the building.
The third thing is when kids can not leave the school for lunch, the school is bringing in more revenue from food profits. When students leave to go out and eat, the school is not making any money from them because they are gone.
Finally when students go off campus, the environment can be harmed because of all the gases being burned and students will not have to pay for gas all the time.
The students feel that the first bad part of having closed campuses is that students are the number one customers for local restaurants in town. So if the students can not leave, the business are losing those customers and then they will have to close down. The second bad part is that when students can not leave for lunch, the lines to get food will become much longer and more hectic. Third, when students get their lunch some students may not have a place to sit so the space in the cafeteria will be limited. Fourth, the lunch ladies will have to work much harder and prepare more food, they will have to charge each individual student which can take a long time, and they may run out of food.
In an interview, Xavier Maisel, a freshman, was asked how he felt about this situation. "I think this was not one of the better decisions the school has made. I do not like this because I get really bored at lunch and have nothing to do."
