Flex Reflex With the changes between last semester and this semester, the fewer flex spots and the bells back, adjusting can be a bit of a stuggle. written by: Alison Engelage

here has been talk about how everyone feels about flex spaces being taken away and the bells being added back. At the beginning of the year the bells were taken away so students could get the college experience and do better with time management. The bells did end up coming back in semester and everyone has their own opinion about it. Personally, I like that the bells have come back. For the most part I do think the bells help students and teachers out so they’re not looking at the clock every five minutes. The only thing about the whole situation that I do not like is that we had to go a whole semester getting used to the bells being gone, and now we have to adjust to them being back again. In addition to the bell changes, flex is new to the school this year and personally, I think it’s working out great. Giving students a free hour to work on homework, study for a test, leave to go get food or whatever the student

wants to do during their flex hour they get to do. There are different flex spaces students are allowed to go to and sit, but through the year flex areas were taken away. Some flex hours have more students in them than others so areas seem to get crowded. As of now they’re only three flex spaces left, but before there were five spaces.The only ones remaining are the library, cafeteria, and the learning stairs. The library and learning stairs are more of a quiet space, a place for you to work on anything you need to work on in a quiet area so you’re able to focus. The cafeteria is considered the “social zone” , the space that’s provided for students to be more social with their friends without disturbing other students. The two spaces that were taken away were the eagles nest and eagle point. Those were the most popular spaces to be used, the spaces with the most freedom to talk and move around.
