New School Year

Every time the new school year begins, it is difficult to get back into the normal RHS routine. But the 2008-2009 year is starting off very different than usual. All of the teachers are very frustrated and angered by the district because they are not paying them their raise that they should be paying every year. Therefore, the teachers are cracking down on the rules and the administration is creating school rules that did not even exist in previous school years. I think that the freshmen should be the most annoyed by all of these changes because it just makes their first year of high school that much harder to deal with. The upperclassmen should be annoyed because their last years of high school won’t be what they expected and the postponement of clubs has never happened before while they attended RHS. Shortly, all of the changes this year are incredibly frustrating, because what is affecting the teachers right now is affecting the students’ high school careers even more.
