Homeroom is a time students spend to do homework, finish up a project, or talk to friends. Xello has also moved its way into the schedule. 

“Honestly, it’s pretty ridiculous. I don’t think it contributes to anything at all,” junior Savannah Schrader said. “It’s something that gets in the way of people doing homework in homeroom.” 

Xello was intended to guide students into their future. Certain lessons on the website are due every 2 weeks. 

“I think it’s pretty useless because they just ask the same questions every year,” senior Ivy Lawrence explained. 

This learning site has students focused on where they want to be in their future as well as personality reflection, preferred learning styles, and college readiness. 

“Every time I’ve done the career test, it’s been totally different than what I want to do. I want to become a lawyer and it told me to become a zoologist,” Schrader said.

Students believe that a website should not have to dictate their future, especially in high school.

“We should have the right to choose our own future,” Lawrence said.
