Hallway Traffic

The hallways here at Corsicana High School are like the streets of New York on New Year’s, crowded. With one class being at the front, to the next class being at the other end of the school, tardies begin to add up at a higher rate than usual. Students stopping in the middle of the hallway to chit-chat with fellow classmates, to couples sharing a little too much saliva with only 4 minutes to the bell; the list goes on and on. What could lower the distress of other students that have to wait an excruciatingly long time to get to their class you ask? Well, a few hall monitors could come in handy.

Although, we have assistant principals and such standing in the hallways during these moments of great anguish; they can’t prevent every tardy on their own. That’s where the team of hallway monitors come in. Walking around in their orange vests writing citations to every student clogging up the hallways performing any such of the acts listed recently. Being a personal traffic light, I mean who doesn’t enjoy a nice game of “Red Light, Green Light”.  With every hall monitor put on the job, that’s another student saved from the horrors of the hallway traffic.
