Despite purportedly representing the school, The Voice is just a collection of a select few students, not allowing for anyone else outside of their little “clique” to share their own opinion. We are the real voices of the students of Trinity Preparatory School (of Florida), and we want to clarify our stances on a few pressing issues.

The large blocks of text have become too overwhelming for many students to read. “There were so many words yet so little reels
for me to watch,” junior Ashton Paul said. “I was just overwhelmed.” How can people focus when the only thing that is present is an unbroken, colorless, wall of EB Garamond text? To make the tedium that is reading The Voice more manageable, MLA Format should be employed. For starters, everyone already uses MLA format and knows how to read it. Secondly, it helps students refine their skills for AP English Language, a class which many struggle in. “Yeah MLA formatting is rizz,” said Kent Kersten, teacher of AP English Language at Trinity Preparatory School of Florida. If the students have to write in MLA format, so should The Trinity Voice.

Students can not even work on their desks during distribution days because there are so many editions. There are 967 students at Trinity Preparatory School (of Florida) and like 25 actually read the issues. To compromise, The Voice should have a random number generator between 25 and 26 to select how many issues are printed each cycle. Furthermore, supply and demand is a market principle that would greatly beneft the Voice. “When there are fewer issues, more people want to read it,” DECA club member Sammy Lou said. “I learned that in DECA, and it really helped my life once I started buying out the $5 Sushi days at Publix. Reselling the sushi is how I pay tuition now. Simply put, it would help The Voice because it seams exclusive now.”

Despite the surplus of issues they never seem to fnd the right rooms. Every distribution cycle multiple rooms are missed leaving potential readers alienated. The distribution process itself is really boring, having to wait to receive the issue. To remedy these problems only one solution works. Place all of the issues around the rock and one advisee from each district advisory has to race and get the issues for their advisory is ensures an engaging distribution where no advisory is left out.

The title of “newspaper” is misleading because the paper is as good as trash. Part of what made traditional newspapers so widespread was their texture. “I enjoy dramatically fipping the pages of a print newspaper in public to demonstrate that my intellect must be taken seriously,” history teacher Gregory Wedel said. “This so called ‘newspaper’” is nothing but a common magazine.” The Voice lacks this feeling of refnement as their paper is all weird and smooth. We acknowledge that switching paper may not be fnancially feasible so we believe that The Voice should invest in creating a new Scribing department where all
the text is transcribed to papyrus.

The Voice has gotten repetitive. The same few topics receive attention in The Voice and this poses an issue. Politics, TPSF, and highlighting local talent are all incredibly divisive topics. Despite not ever thinking or caring about those issues, when it was written about it still makes us angry. Such discussions actually undermine the point of it being written because it actually divides people who never cared about it originally. At that point, why even write, you know? “To be perfectly candid, it struck me that the incipient nature of such discourse has engendered an intellectual stagnation on campus grounds, thereby precipitating a deleterious erosion of faith in the very foundations of our pedagogical institution,” junior Connor Brady said. Instead of considering the diferent perspectives we, the people, actually refuse to engage in good faith discussions about them. We hope that this is agreeable to The Voice. Additionally, the consistent topic use makes reading The Voice boring. Reading is already hard, especially when it is so bland so things we don’t care about make it even more tedious. Instead we would like an Ins- tagram reels recap for every issue that covers the major trends that occur every month. If !e Voice believes that that would compromise the integrity of the publication, take a page out of Bloomberg’s book and run a 24/7 segment on the stock market. Help the students make more money to donate to the ##### building.

We will be boycotting The Trinity Voice until the aforementioned changes are made. However, we will not know if you changed given that we will not be reading your publications. Thank you for your time.
