Essay Question:

The amount of graffiti has greatly increased at your school. The members of the school board must find ways to stop the graffiti. Write a composition in which you fully explain the solution the school board could use to solve this problem.

	Graffiti is an art form that many people enjoy and create on their spare time. However, the excessive amount of graffiti in our school, covering everything from walls to the ceiling, has now become a serious issue. Normally, most people wouldn't mind the art, but the number of graffiti drawings with vulgar and inappropriate themes have been increasing. Graffiti is now becoming a major negative influence to the students and before more copycats appear, the school board should deal with this problem immediately.

  To combat these acts of vandalism, I believe the school board should have an assembly with all the students and announce that graffiti is now banned on public school properties; if students want to express themselves, they should do so on paper or approved areas. Any student that continues to vandalize the schoolground will be punished accordingly. In addition, as a preventative measure, the school board should consider installing security cameras or employing fulltime security guards to patrol around the school's perimeter.
