What goes on in the hallways during passing time

After sitting in a class for 50 minutes (90 minutes on a long day), it is a relief to get up and stretch your legs. But the pressure of school does not let up during the breaks considering you only have 6 minutes to get to your next class. With more than 1,600 students in the school, the hallways can get quite crowded. Students get a 2-minute warning before the tardy bell sounds, but that does not always help students get to class on time.

Check out the video of what goes on in the hallways between classes and hear from some of the students their opinions of passing time.
