The modular learning facilities in Ereckson Middle school are becoming a real problem. The school board recently decided to renovate our middle school, and not many of the eighth-grade students are happy with their decision.

Their plan is to start by renovating the upstairs (otherwise known as the eighth-grade floor) first. To do this, they moved the eighth-grade students and teachers outside to a place called the modular learning facilities. Now, we have to run outside to the football field, just to get to class within the 4-minute passing period that the principal decided to not change.

Once they finish renovating the upstairs of the school, instead of moving the seventh graders outside to the modular learning facilities while the downstairs is getting renovated, they are keeping the eighth-graders outside, and moving the seventh graders upstairs.

My last problem is that the modular learning facilities are safety and fire hazards. The fire alarm was half-broken during the last fire drill, which is a major fire hazard, and when someone is walking across the tiny classrooms, they can easily trip over someone’s bag. The seats aren’t even six feet apart. They’re more like one foot apart.

There are a couple of possible solutions to this problem. One, the school can move us back inside during the downstairs renovations and move the seventh graders back outside. Two, the school can upgrade the modular learning facilities.

The modular learning facilities are dangerous, and someone has to do something before a student or teacher gets hurt. (The picture isn't of the modular learning facilities, but they look like that).
