Getting an F on your report card is one thing that all teenagers want to avoid, not only because it looks bad on your report card when colleges look to accept you or not, but also because all of the things the school will do to you like send you to tutoring. At my school teachers everyday urge teenagers not to be late because if you are late a total of 5 times to class then you receive an automatic F in your citizenship grade. So if teacher urge us not to be late to class then why do they not allow us to run to class so we can be on time and not receive an F on our report card? I remember a few years ago i was going to be late for class so i started to run to class and a teacher stopped me and told me not to run. I ended up being late and i got an F on my report card. That F did not only affect me at the time but now that F could hurt my chances of going to the university of my dreams. This normative ideology that schools put upon the students effects us in more ways than one and although some teachers may argue and say that the reason they don't let us run in the hallways is because its dangerous and someone might bump into someone and cause an accident, also instead of running how about coming earlier to class i would argue back and say that even though i run in the halls of the schools it doesn't mean its a 100% chance that i am going to bump into someone and even if i do what is the worst that can happen, maybe papers scattered everywhere and two people on the floor shaken up but thats all. The long term effects of not running to class and being late hurts the person more than crashing into someone. Also what i would say to those teachers that say that teenagers should just get to class earlier i would say "what if i have P.E and my next class is on the other side of the campus," what do i do then? The campus itself is basically telling me to run because of how big it is. Teenagers should be able to reject the normative ideology of us walking to class because it will ultimately affect and hurt us in the future more than it would if we crashed into someone.
