Being like any typical high school student, I like food, but being in a lunch period with half of the school, I have to wait for over half of the lunch period to even get any food. That leaves little time to eat lunch. Not only...

Why doesn’t our school include study hall under its list of electives. I have been given the explanation as to why home economics is not offered at West Shore and that is because it is a college prep school and home economics...
