In response to the controversy surrounding the senior lounge in January, Senior Alissa Pradera said, “I know the teachers have a lounge of their own, so it just makes one wonder when the line between teacher privileges and student privileges is drawn. It’s a very touchy topic, and I know everyone has different opinions on the matter. I love all of the teachers at the Academy, but it kind of makes me feel not like a senior since the things that were specifically given or granted to us are having to be shared with the faculty and staff.”

The environment of the classroom with a male teacher is loose and interactive as they slide in funny jokes to get the class attention. The experience I have had with male teachers has been good because they put an emphasis on a stress-free environment, but on the negative side, students find themselves getting rowdier and getting off task. I believe that male teachers should keep the balance between a fun and strict environment by doing the following: when the classroom discussion gets off task, use their stern ‘side’ to bring the class back together and remain organized, says Angelie Pena.
