Such social butterflies can be found traveling in large groups and often pausing, mid-conversation, in the hallway. These Blazers realize that arriving to class will end their gossip sessions, and they show little enthusiasm for the idea of abandoning their conversations for the sake of a bell schedule. Many slow walkers are incapable of changing classes quickly because they are lost and do not have a sense of the time between bells. Their behavior is immune to structure and, in spite of computerized attendance with strict consequences, these students merrily stroll down the path less traveled by. The solution lies in understanding the causes of urgency in the individual.
Urgency is caused in the individual when the individual is on the Beltway.
In order to make students hastier hall-changers, we must make our corridors more like the Beltway. Lanes of traffic could be marked on the floors of our hallways. Students who are inclined to walk slowly could travel in the slow lanes. Such an HOV lane would not obstruct the path of other walkers. We must reclaim our hallways and restore efficiency to the task of changing classes.
