This change affects all students and especially the Senior class. This problem takes away a goal every grade and a class has had since their first Olympics: To be the winning grade.

In addition, the designing of class shirts earlier on in the year becomes pointless with the mixing of grades.

By changing this, this pits friends against friends within their own grades. This idea was made without even asking the student body. In addition, the glory of winning brings together a class grade, or graduating class in a final hurrah before we hunker down for IB exams.

The idea of this would be to bond different class grades together is already made with clubs and other extracurriculars.

With this forced change, this is a ploy to bond grades together yet this will only divide grades from one another.
