The View From the Sixth Grade

The Morrisville Schools housing crisis, as seen by a sixth grader. Mr. Emperor President? Any Chosen Accomplices? What say you?

This sixth grader compiled a list of pros and cons of elementary students "visiting" the high school this week. And let's hope it is just a visit. The high school space as it exists now is not conducive to a permanent solution. A sixth grader could tell you that, and here's just a few examples why:

Problems:

*Bathroom time cut off for sixth grade (you read that correctly - reduced access to bathrooms in order to accommodate younger children)
*Missing 15 minutes of art (last period class due to 2:15 dismissal)
*Routes to classrooms changed
*No Library
*Gym space cut in half
*Little kids eating in hallways
*Clubs canceled
*No homework zone

Good things:
*out 15 minutes early
*little kids get education
*nobody got hurt or died

That's a pretty perceptive 6th grader.
