Every day at MBHS, students and faculty feel the insanity of the hallway situation.

“There are too many people that just stand there and they just do nothing,” Ethan Haines Leblanc, a senior, revealed his frustration about the current situation.  

Ms. Wentz, a teacher, said,  “a frustration that I have is how slowly [some] people move, maybe because we’re in NY and know how we walk, so walking with a normal speed instead of the lackadaisical stroll that people do.”

According to an anonymous expert, there’s a lot of socializing going on between classes, “but there’s no sense of urgency to get to class.”

They’re not alone in these thoughts. According to an article on Seventeen.com, there are people that “make you feel bad for interrupting them with your need to, you know, walk down the hallway.” This is an issue that not only affects our school, but is a problem in general.

To fix this situation, teachers should patrol the hallways more. Students shouldn’t visit their lockers every period, and, most definitely they should stay to the right. Ultimately, both students and the faculty have to learn to listen to each other and be able to cooperate. Ms. Wentz stated, “no one is happy if you’re just standing around in the way of everyone” and “if everyone is a little more thoughtful about the people around them, we can alleviate not all, but a lot of the congestion that’s there.”
