Do you think that there should be mandatory classes? Or should students be able to pick any classes they want?

• Yes. If there weren’t mandatory classes we wouldn’t have a reason to come to school. Students would not have proper education otherwise.

Should there be a dress code? If so, why or why not?

• The dress code is strict and there aren’t a lot of options so I understand all of the frustrations, but dress code makes the school look unified and professional. I think that there should be a dress code with more options available.
