Hall passes

Haelei VanGend, Staff Writer

Hall passes are a big part of most students school day. Some schools are not allowed any, some have limited, and some you can just take a hall pass whenever you need. Here are Hunter high hall passes can be very confusing. Teachers get to decide how they want their hall passes to work with each class of theirs. Personally with about half of my teachers we either get a set amount of them per term or we have to earn them, and with the other half we can use one whenever we need to.

Not allowing students to use a hall pass, without an excuse why they can’t, can get frustrating. Students have their own reason why they might need to use a hall pass during class. Some students do not get enough time between class or simply it could just be timing. The students reason for needing to take it should not be the teachers or the students business because it could be personal. Teachers should allow students to use a hall pass when they need without exception.
