You missed a spot

Will the new assigned parking policy prove to be beneficial or will these restrictions hold us back?

Scratch. Ding. Dent. All of these things are the result of free reign parking. At school, that is about to change. This year, a new policy has been put into place: assigned parking spots. Despite all of the pessimism about parking in people’s minds, the concept of this four-wheeled fiasco has brought about a relief to the majority of those that dread the concrete spaces. The chaos of the parking lot has begun a never-ending line of calls to the local auto repair shops, insurance companies, and attendance office. Bringing in this new policy will lower the amount of untraceable damage by connecting the person in the adjacent space to the damage done on that side of the car and making them fully responsible to foot the bill. It will also make students accountable for skipping classes by pointing out empty spaces that were taken earlier that day. In addition to that factor, students will make their attendance regular to ensure a minimal amount of hindrance from faculty due to their absence. Another beauty in this is the assurance of having a space when driving to school, especially if one is a late arrival student. When adding these factors together, the outcome of the new policy can bring nothing but the promise of a less stressful high school career.
