Bus Tickets to Bus Passes

Blog: Bus Tickets to Bus passes

Naomi Jones

Why did Marshall IB change from bus tickets to bus passes? There has to be reasons for why they would do something like this. From what has been said people have been selling there bus tickets for money. That’s bad for the rest of us in school and the people who really need them. The rest of IB shouldn’t be punished for what other people do. The bus tickets seem more convenient for kids now a day in school. Bus passes are okay but, what about the time limit on it? The time limit is good for some people but, bad for others. People who come to school and go right back home need a bus pass. For people who stay after school need bus tickets. They need bus tickets because they stay after school for a long period time. People who stay after school need bus tickets because they may stay for a long time or they may have a game that day and can’t get home. Seeing as bus tickets have no time limit it’ll be better for them. Speaking from an athlete’s point of view bus tickets is better for us. Bus passes have a time limit 5:30 am to 6:30 pm. I think they should establish which people are athletes and which ones are students so they spilt it down the middle between tickets and passes. That will be better for some people because that way it won’t be good for some people and bad for others. It’ll be 50/50 between the students and athlete’s to see who gets what. Some people stay after longer than that meaning they may not get home on time.

We went around and took a poll about bus passes and bus tickets. Majority vote that we need bus tickets more than bus passes. I interviewed about 55 people around the school (including athlete’s) asking them which one is better. Out of the 55 people 38 of them choose bus tickets. The other 17 people decided they wanted bus passes. So my question is why we switched from tickets to passes. Last year we didn’t have passes and now they want to change it. I don’t think that’s necessary for us to change because it was kind of stupid in a sense. I think that if they were going to switch it up they should’ve asked the students or took a poll about which one they wanted. People should have the right to choose which ones we want. It should be our opinion to choose which one we want. I think we should’ve kept bus tickets instead of bus passes. So I ask the students of MMIB what do you think about the switch between bus tickets and bus passes.

What's the deal with school Lunch?

Blog- What’s the Deal with School Lunch?

By:Kazimir Hardy

What up MMIB!! My name is Kazimir and I have something to address about the school lunch. Why don’t we get better lunch than the lunches we get? We deserve better. Almost every week we have a meal from the previous week and that meal would be admitted into the next week lunch menu. Why can’t we go to off-campus to get lunch? Are we not trustworthy enough? There are some people in MMIB that deserve to go off campus. Some kids are trustworthy to go off campus the school should recognize those people so that they can eat better food than the school’s meal. What do you think we should do besides off-campus lunch? I think we should be able to pick an order of some sort of what we want for lunch in our menus. I’m a freshman and on my first day we had nachos and every week since then, we have had nachos or tacos every week. I’ve had so many meals with tacos or nachos that I don’t even eat those meals any more.
Sometimes the school lunch is nasty and I see people throw their lunch away and I would see them later on that day I hear or they tell me that they are hungry and can’t wait to get home to eat something good. In growing power they leave campus with a staff member from MMIB and when they come back they and sometimes they get to go to a fast food restaurant for lunch. It’s no problem to me because I’ll be able to do that soon but right now it seems unfair because they walk down the halls with their soda cups and fast food eating and some kids had to eat nasty fish or chicken while others eat fast food.I asked one of the kitchen staff members why we have ea
