Do you think the school’s dress code is too strict? We asked 153 students this; 66% said yes, while 34% said no. The people who said yes, were against the hat color rule. That seemed to be the main problem that the students didn’t agree with. Many asked if taking this survey would help change anything and our response was, “I hope so.”

The first thing you need to do is make it a point to stop telling yourself you’re shy. The second thing you must do is put yourself out there; be more outgoing. Try new things; talk to new people, things like that. I hope that helps, Little Mouse.

Sofia’s Survey
There was a survey taken asking Mountain View students if seniors should go to college right after graduation or take one year off to consider options. Out of 109 students, 63 people thought that seniors should go to college right after graduation, while 46 people thought that seniors should take a year off to consider their options. That is 57% people wanting to go right after graduation and 42% wanting to take a year off. Even though I didn’t get the whole school’s vote or ask the teachers and staff, I still got a lot of peoples’ opinions. Honestly, as long as students are going to go to college, it is a good thing either way. Thanks for the people who were a part of the survey. Even though I was rooting for taking a year off, going right after high school is probably a smart thing to do.
