The Metropolitan Council Of Opportunity (METCO) is a program that buses inner city students of color to predominantly white, suburban towns in Massachusetts. The program was created in 1966 in the midst of the civil rights movement, “to increase the diversity and reduce the racial isolation... so that... students from different backgrounds can learn from each other in meaningful ways... in an integrated public school setting,” according to its web site. The problem that has arisen from this program is the achievement gap between resident students and Boston students.

Prom: the focus of so much attention as the months of May and June approach, the apex of our suburban frivolity, and the catalyst of social calamity. Why do we students subject ourselves to the reign of this inane and corrosive social construct? 
After the cost of the tickets, the limo, the dress, nails, hair, etc., many girls end up spending over $500, creating an utterly contrived and superfluous experience. Prom is an enormous expense and thus indicative of the excesses of our suburban lifestyle. 

After the tide of reflections that always culminates the high school year, the message is clear: be conscious of the present, enjoy the ‘now.’ In a decade or so, statements resembling ‘I wish I had better treasured my time at L-S’ will most likely reverberate along alumni mingling at reunion parties. In this vein, we might attempt to internalize this advice while we still possess the ability to cherish our collective high school experiences before they come to an end.

I never believe kids who say that they don’t have opinions. In pursuit of opinion articles over the years, countless times I have been faced with a blank stare and the classic, “Uhh, I don’t know what to write about.” Everyone has opinions that should be shared; you just may have to dig a little deeper for them.
