 If I were a principal

      Are there things in your school that you want changed? When I am principal there will be a lot of things that I will change. When I am principal, I would: change the dress code, fix school lunches, and I would renovate the playground. 

      When I become principal, I will change the dress code. Dress codes often violate freedoms of religious expression, school dress codes can often do more harm than good.Dress codes are meant to create safe, positive learning environments in schools, but too many of them have the opposite effect, shaming students, robbing them of instructional time. Office dress codes can and often do discriminate against women, men, and disabled people,” Cooper.

      Fixing school lunches is another thing I will do when I am principal. Research shows that receiving free or reduced-price school lunches reduces food insecurity, obesity rates, and poor health. School lunch is critical to student health and well-being, especially for low-income students—and ensures that students have nutrition they need throughout the day to learn. A 2011 study published in the Journal of Health Economics showed that when Greenwich switched from low-budget processed meals towards healthier options, educational outcomes improved and authorized absences fell by 14%.

      Wouldn’t getting new playground equipment be nice, that is why I will do that when I am Principal. Having your ideal playground equipment for school greatly improves the physical health of children as they play. Exercise improves health and well-being while the safe environment encourages independence.

      Even though changing the dress code, fixing lunches, and getting new playground equipment will take lots of time and money, I think it is better for the students. Our students have earned better! Things in schools need to be changed, let’s change them.
