Conroe High School has many rules. Many are silly and some are actually very important.The one rule I think is silly is being able to get tardies after lunch and it should be changed because some of the Conroe High students eat their lunch in a different room or even a different part of the school, and also the tardies that are possible to get after lunch you can't necessarily get rid of even if it’s because lunch took too long. Some of my fellow students at Conroe High School don’t eat lunch in the cafeteria. For instance,I eat lunch everyday in the agricultural shop all the way behind the rotunda at our school, and my fifth period is in the main building upstairs.

If you receive five demerits you get kicked off the officer team. It is two demerits when you get a referral, so it terrified him because he thought he was off the team. The principle might say that the demerits taught him and all the other kids a lesson, and tardies teach the kids a lesson, but how does the principle or the faculty of Conroe High know if it hurts the students more than it helps
