All in Favor of Closed Campus!

By Trina Hooker

Here at Luther Burbank, parents can find comfort in the fact that the school is only accessible to employees and students. Who wants a open campus?

Our children need to be in school. If you're a having a bad day, then tough cookies! Just up and leaving will not make your day or grades better.

Can you really be comfortable with the fact that vitrtually anyone can enter the campus at anytime?

Growing up in Midwest, I didn't have the liberty to argue about this subject. Once you entered school, you couldn't leave until the bell for school to end rung.

Children who want this "open-campus" can't even justify why having it is a good idea. All they say is, "I don't want to eat school lunch." Will you be worried about what you can eat for lunch when you're under a desk during a Code Red because some lunatic is creeping around on school grounds?

Open-campus is a bad and stupid idea proposed by kids insecure of their intelligence to look cool.

Say no to Open-campus.

Why It's Good That Burbank Is A Closed School

By: Alisia Baca

This is what happens when a school is a closed campus.

Why I think it's good that Burbank is a closed school? First reason is because strangers can come into the school and we would not know about it. They could attack innocent people and they could hurt or vandalize the school.

Secondly, there would be fewer kids here. There would be classes almost empty . They would miss all the work . When it comes to tests they wouldn't pass. They would not have the adequate amount of knowledge to get along in school if they are leaving regularly or not showing up to school.

Thirdly,  there could be other students from a different school come and  cause some fights with the students here at Burbank. They could trash the school, make our school look ugly.

There' are a lot of things that could happen if our school was an open campus and I believe that our school is safe  now than from what could happen if it was open.

Burbank's Closed Campus

By Chee Xiong

Many students admire having an open campus, allowing them to have freedom from going in and out of school as they please. From a student's point of view, an open campus is something they would like to take advantage of, knowing that they may escape school work. Yet, many students don't know the risk that can be caused by having an open campus. Risk that may cause a dangerous situation in which would affect many students and faculties.

Luther Burbank's rule for a closed campus provides the school with a safe and secure environment that monitors people who comes in and out. Not only that, the school can also make sure that no intruders can get inside our school, keeping our students are safe. The safety of our school is the most important factor that we should all adapt in many of our schools to maintain safety of the students and the faculties in our communities.

Having a closed campus can not only provide our schools with safety but also the will to keep our students in school. Keeping the students in school would then help them be present and learning in school. Closed campus is not a difficult rule to follow but it is still not easy to adapt for many students. When introduced to the closed campus rule, it would be a great benefit for our schools.

Why should you leave the school campus?

Why A Closed School Is Better Than An Open One

By: David Coleman


The reason why a closed school is better than an open one is very simple. For one it keeps the students who would leave on their own in check. It's simple really, if this was an open school, students can leave at any time they want with no consequences.

 In a closed school you are not permitted to leave school grounds until the last bell which is at 2:56, if you do so you will be given mild to severe consequences depending upon the situation.

 Another reason is that it keeps out unwanted visitors from roaming the campus freely. In an open school any one can come and go, meaning any one no matter who they are can walk onto our grounds. Having a closed schools means we keep out intruders armed or not.

 Basically any one who comes without intentions to learn or do good. I say this because there are a lot of crazy and dangerous people out there and having a closed school keeps us safe.

Going back to my first reason, the third reason is because if students were able to leave at any given time then how many students would take advantage of that and ditch all the time? I am pretty sure a lot would, so in being an open school those who leave would not get the education they need later on during the year and in life.

If they don't have the education they can't graduate and or get a decent job. It may be fun and cool to have an open school but it's not fun and games when you make less than a janitor because you don't have the education you decided to skip school or even just a class for.

Burbank's Closed Campus

To me the only good thing about Burbank's closed campus is that its mainly for safety. I would like it if Burbank had a open campus. That way we can go out to eat better food than the food we have here. If the teachers can go out and eat why can't we? We are just the same as the teachers, except we are students. Who knows they might leave and not come back to school until tomorrow also.

If Burbank had a open campus it can be a whole lot better because:
1. We can go out to eat.
2. Students will enjoy school a lot more.
3. There will be a lot less of drama during lunch.
4. Burbank will be a LOT cooler.

What Is Good About Burbank's Closed Campus?

By: Salmaan Khan

There is school staff everywhere in  school. School staff helps students to get to class and not be late to class. Students are not allowed to go outside of school grounds during school time. Staff don't let any other schools' students in this campus.

 Our school is gated. Students are not allowed to be out of school during school time.This means that criminals could not enter our school.

I think that we should always lock our classroom doors and the gates. This way the students can not leave class and come in or leave without permission.

Lastly, we should care about the businesses we have around our school. It's because we would be in those businesses and make their shops messy. Student can't be hanging around during class time.
