Contest Story Rewrite:
Due to the amount of fights that have occurred at Bowie High School, AISD has hired the TCRT to help students solve disagreements through non-violent solutions. A lot of the staff are happy for the program and believe it will be beneficial."Students have to learn how to solve life's problems without violence," school principal Mr. Brown said. "This program will teach our students just that."
The Teen Conflict Resolution Team program will begin on March 23. Any student who is caught fighting on campus must complete a TCRT non-violence workshop, including normal disciplinary actions. Many students are unhappy about the establishment of the TCRT program.
"Now students will get suspended and be forced to attend this program," 10th grader Opal said. "That's just too much."
With the new TCRT program, the school is striving to cut down the number of fights that occur on campus."Bowie is an elite school," science teacher Mrs. Abby said. "We need our students behavior to match what our school is known for."
