If I could take away one change...

If I could take away one change, I would take away...  this question is making me thinking a lot. This is a hard decision because all these changes help all of us. One change we can't take away is the first change, lunch time. We can't take that rule away because it's not our rule. It's Mr.Ing's rule. After thinking about each and every rule, one rule I would like to change is change number 7. Weekly grade checks. I personally would like to take away this change because we don't really need it. It was a rule already before the changes came in to have good grades, and not having D's or F's. It's complete common sense. I would like to take away this change because we are just wasting our teachers and Mr.ing's time by making them write how we are doing, and by making Mr.Ing print out more papers. If we could of just followed directions and do good in your classes this rule would of not been here. But I know everyone makes mistakes, I make mistakes too, but it's always something you have to accept and learn from. I chose this rule because, not everybody in leadership is struggling with their grades. There might be a few but not all. I think without this change a lot of people won't be stressing out anymore, I don't mean once this rule is gone keep slacking in your classes, I mean once this rule is gone things can go back to normal and we don't need to worry so much, but keep doing well in our classes. This change is a good change and helps with our grades in our classes but, there's some things I don't favor about it, like having it weekly. In my opinion I don't think we need this change. Before these rules even started we should already have been doing well in all our classes. In my opinion since we did this around second quarter, and I remember no one from my group having bad comments I think we can do better without this rule. For me, this change isn't that huge, because we experienced this in second quarter suprisingly and I remember my group doing well in their classes without checking on it weekly. Overall the one change that I can take away would be change number 7, weekly grade checks. Our first weekly grade checks is on the 12th, thursday. I don't think we need to do a grade check because since we are looking at webgrader more often to check our assignments for leadership, we can check our grades and see how we are already doing. And, we can be responsible on our own to check in with the teacher. I think without this rule, we can still be responsible by checking webgrader and talking to our teacher about it. The one change that I want to take away is weekly grade checks.
Today during advisory we talked about the real meaning of having time cards, all our explanation on why we have it was far from the real reason why. The reason was to interact, and talk to Mr.Ing when we give him our planner we can be like "good morning. How's your day so far?" I thought we had time cards because of our past experiences. Mr.Ing said the time didn't even matter, he said it's to have interaction while we are waiting for our planners to be signed. I think that reason was good. It was straight out simple. Each change has a message and reason behind it.
