Every day after lunch, I see trash littered around the student courtyard after the trashcans outside are overflowed with trash.

Not only is it a danger to the environment that items such as: soda picks, water bottles and lunch trays are littering the courtyard, but it is also disrespectful to the school administration and the clean-up ladies who work so hard to make sure that the school stays in great shape for the students of the school.

Now let’s get somethings straight. Just because there are cleaning ladies at the school, that does not mean that it gives student’s the right to take advantage of them by overflowing the courtyard with trash.

Yes, the trash cans outside do get overflowed easily, but students have legs. They serve a purpose for walking which comes in handy when it comes to walking inside and throwing away trash.

The inside trash can isn’t even that far way. Is this what our generation is becoming? Lazy and disrespectful people who don’t even have enough respect for the institution that generously gives them lunch and let’s them eat outside.

I hate to say this but if the young adults at our school don’t give the courtyard the respect it deserves, maybe the school should revoke privileges for student’s to eat outside. Or even worse, have a teacher or administrator monitor the student’s eating outside.

Wouldn’t that be a shame to have an adult monitor teenagers eating lunch during a time when they are supposed to be trustworthy because they are too childish to not have an adult with them.

I think I’m having flashbacks of Kindergarten coming back to me, *hint, hint.*

But seriously, that is the last thing that a grown adult should have to do and waste their lunch period for a bunch of disrespectful four-year-old *ahem, I mean teenagers* who don’t know what respect means.

Student’s, if you don’t have enough maturity to respect the institution that gives you a place to learn, then maybe you shouldn’t eat outside.
