Here at Sycamore, it is a privilege to receive a Buccy Fast Pass. A Buccy Fast Pass allows students to advance to the front of the lunch line without having to wait. Buccy Fast Passes are awarded to students if they are caught doing something good such as cleaning up after themselves during lunch. Sometimes, teachers give them to students who participate in class. The students who receive a Buccy Fast Pass are allowed to take one friend along with them to the front of the line. Another good thing about receiving a Buccy Fast Pass is that you don’t have to worry about not getting your favorite food.

I asked people around the school what they thought about the Buccy Fast Passes. Mr. Garcia, a Sycamore teacher loves Buccy Fast Passes and said, “I think they are a great tool for rewarding students for doing great things.” Mr. Garcia also told me that he thought “it reinforces positive behavior with our students.”  When asked if he’d noticed behavior changes, Mr. Garcia replied, “Yes, I have. I’ve seen students picking up trash and being polite.”

David Perez, a Sycamore student was asked about Buccy Fast Passes and said, “I think they are awesome because you get to cut in the line.”

Not everyone agreed with Mr. Garcia and David Perez some people had a very different opinion.  Amairany Popoca thinks, “It’s unfair that you have to earn it, and that you only get to take one friend.”

Buccy fast passes are a privilege here at Sycamore Jr. High. As you can see, people have very different opinions about the passes.  What do you think about them?
