The lack of school spirit at Universal Academy is evident in the high school grades. This is due to many reasons. First, of all we do not have a gym to have assemblies,games,dance,or other any other recreation activities.Second, most of the high school students come from the Irving campus and is use to a different way of doing things.Also the ways the adults perceive the high school student which includes the principle.
The lack of a gym is something that the administration have to work on. All the assembles are geared towards the little kids. We are a completely different demographic and it seems that none of the administration that runs the assemblies care to try to reach our demographic. Not to mention the grade school teachers some not most always have something to say especially during our passing periods. For instance two teens at the lockers cant have a pleasant conversation. There are 5 minutes in which we can use. There are cameras all around. So we are always supervised.If we are late to any classes we do receive a tardy.
So we do not need to be chastised by random teachers for no reason. We know that some our actions have repercussions. We should be able to choose. You cant expect us to act like adults and treat us like children especially when you know nothing about us. We could be having a bad day and our friend is trying to cheer us up.Also, the lovable sometimes sarcastic principle comments do not always remedy the situation.However there are many positive sides to Universal Academy (Coppell)which is one of the reasons I choose to go there but school spirit is not one of them.
