ffltfklM T)cwtt If the atmosphere around school seems more restric- tive, who is to blame? “Every- body” might be one answer. Several years ago, schools around the country looked at themselves and saw some areas that could be improved. The same thing happened in Plattsmouth. Even students expressed a desire for more challenge. No, they may not have said: “We want more homework.” But they did say: “We want to be able to get good jobs.” Wanting excellence is one thing; achieving it is another. Juniors and seniors who be- gan high school thinking it would not be too much work, found out that wasn’t true and seem to resent it. However, freshmen and sophomores were told at the outset that their requirements would be tighter. Therefore, they seem to be able to ac- cept it. Consequently, this year at PHS is unique from the years before since teachers and stu- dents and parents were asked to do more. The resulting achievements were often at the cost of increased stress and tension. It was time for PHS, along with the rest of the state, to buckle up — and buckle down to work.
