Walk Faster, Franklin

Ever been caught behind a slow walker? Ever felt like the hallways are a traffic jam worse than I-5 at 5 p.m. on a Friday? Look no further. The solution is right in front of your eyes, Franklin, posted on nearly every hallway wall. “Walk and Talk” is one of the best Franklin Joy values ever created, but for some reason, one of the least followed.
If you’ve ever congregated in the hall to talk to your friends and noticed that people weren’t able to pass, this is a clear sign that you are disrupting the flow of traffic. Although, if you do this, you probably didn’t even notice. If you’ve ever had multiple people go around you in the halls, this is a clear sign you are walking too slow. You’re literally ruining everyone’s day. Because of you, we’re all late to class and our teachers are angry. Newsflash, saying you were caught behind a slow walker isn’t an acceptable excuse.
Make sure to follow Franklin Joy and pick up the pace! No one wants to be stuck behind a slow walker — and no, it’s not only okay when you do it. Yes, you. There’s a reason this issue was added to our school-wide values, so if you plan to follow any, let this be the one. Walk faster, Franklin!
