At MHS, student elective classes are composed of freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors.

Many students disagree with this idea and say that classes should not be mixed.

Seniors have been saying that freshman are immature and distracting in class.

Sophomores have been saying that they feel intimidated by upperclassmen or annoyed by freshmen and lastly some freshmen say that either they don’t care or that they want to be in a class with seniors instead of having it with certain freshman.

Sophomore Claire Avery said, “Having academic classes with upperclassmen can be intimidating and causes people in my grade not to speak out.”

Having mixed classes make students too afraid to ask questions and interact in class discussions for they feel intimidated.

Freshman Kayla Wilkox said, “If I had a choice, I would rather be in a class without freshmen. Sure it may seem ridiculous but I’d rather be challenged then have the work be too easy.”

In my opinion I believe that students should be sorted in their ability to follow out mature decisions. Students who are known to have behavioural problems or are known to not do their work should not be placed with students who do not get distracted easily and want to learn.

Ms. Blankenship, the Environmental Science teacher, said, “Students should be composed based on their abilities, not their grade level.

One major issue that has been arising for me is the fact that I am entering college soon and need to start applying. I can not afford to waste valuable time waiting for students to stop talking or not being able to hear the teacher when he or she is talking.
