Mt. Carmel loses access to Wi-Fi, now must live like stone age

Mt. Carmel has been forced to live as if it was 200 B.C.E due to no access to Wi-Fi.

The school lost its Wi-Fi connection and the administration can not track academic records. Grades will not update, and writing detention lists has been very difficult for the Deans.

Mt. Carmel’s dress code also changed. Rather than wearing a belt, ID, and a polo, students currently wear capes of animal fur and walk around the school barefoot.

“Rather than teaching history, I am history,” says social studies teacher Mr. John Grubisich. “Now I will be teaching a subject that focuses on the future rather than the past.”

The school has no opportunities to allow students to take bus routes. 

Another issue is the lack of athletic opportunities students can pursue. Rather than football, athletes will participate in chariot racing in the fall. Rather than basketball, students are taking on  horse riding. 

“I am a pro at chariot racing,” says freshman Marshaun Thorntnon. “Because of this I got offers to an abundance of tribes along the Michigan Coast.”

Students have always hated the cold weather in the school. Due to no Wi-Fi, the school failed to contact repair services to help rebuild the windows, making Mt. Carmel becomes a freezing desert. In addition, there have been many environmental concerns that have left multiple students in shock. One example is the fact that ice continues to make students fall, causing them to be late for class. Another reason, however, was that they could no longer run after school in the Commons without falling down due to ice inside the school, making the after-school supervisor’s job a lot easier.

They also hate the fact that they can’t play games online while class is ongoing and they don’t have chatGPT to save them on tests. 

“I wish AI could be used on my tests,” says freshman Bryce Daymond. “But no sweet precious WiFi, I can’t ace my assignments!”

Teachers, however, also hate the “no Wi-Fi” misery.

“No more Kahoots and Quizlets can be set up for my classes,” says substitute math-now-Spanish teacher Mr. Luke Norcia. “I can’t set up my Google Classroom or present videos on YouTube.”

Mt. Carmel students and faculty are  still enduring the lack of technological resources. Perhaps struggling through terrible food and no iPads and just relying on themselves and each other is what the Caravan was supposed to do.
