Back-to-School Ni ht S Checking It Gut Alejandra Lizar- raga senior When l came back this year as a senior, l thought that school was going to be easy. l was so wrong. Not only is school hard- er, but I also have to worry about college applications and other college stuff. lt is a good thing that my parents are here to keep me up with my school work and to support me. Back- to-School Night helped them understand the pressures that I am up against. lf my parents didn't go to Back-to-School Night, I would probably be up to my neck in . . . you know. 20 Student Life Charles Nastari, junior My parents have been go- ing to Back-to-School Night ever since l was a freshman and they al- ways come back home impressed. They think that this school is good and the teachers are nice. They now agree with me that Sacred Heart Cathe- dral is the best high school in the city. Marie Vorris- es, junior l think that B a c k - t o - School Night is a great idea. lt lets our par- ents know what to expect and what not to expect from us. They become more understanding. ln a way, however, Back-to-School Night is not such a great idea. lt doesn't give us the space we need to grow. lf our parents knew everything that was go- ing on, we may become too dependent on them. Personal- ly, l don't want my parents to be breathing down my neck about every test, every quiz, etc. Back-to-School Night has both positive and negative ef- fects. f .N-awww
