Damn! school just gets more retarded and more
retarded every time. I mean, I see no logical explanation for the stupid rules they keep enforcing.
Issues, issues, issues...
lockers are for student's personnel uses right?
Right. Thats what I thought, with the general rule of course that banned items and xx stuff should not be allowed. Of course.
But not allowing us to share lockers? What kind of rule is that? It's bad enough we have to pay for this facility, but they have to make sharing lockers the crime of the century.
As logically as my mind sees it, We
rent the lockers. SO, whatever the manner we use it, it still should not concern the school. So whether we decide to share a locker or not, it shouldn't be their business right? So say, I choose to put
X and
Y here. Both X and Y are not banned items, and they fit in the locker. their going to pinalyse us for that?
Who are they to tell us that we can't share? After all, caring
IS sharing yes?
Another thing.
No homework in the library??Whether this rule is going t be enforced or not, I don't know. Don't you think this rule is also a weee bit whacked out? The school gives us a huge homework load to begin with. And they expect us to finish it in a period of time. But have they thought about the people who really
CAN'T finish it at home for specific reasons?
NO
So what? going to the library during lunch period to finish off some of our homework is a
crime now lah? Lets see... It's not like their trying to
free up space. Because as far as I'm concerned, there are still plenty of empty chairs around.
And it's not like we're
too noisy. I mean, hardly anyone goes to the library to read, As a matter of factly speaking. So what, their going to chase us out of the library just because some of us whisper and ask each other about work?
As far as I'm concerned, I'm quite done with telling people wms is a good school and
blablabla. for one, I've heard it enough times from
Matthews almost every assembly, and two, their just living in the past. I mean, get updated! people are inventing flying cars, huge machine guns, and the internet is the number 1 way of spreading word now.
It's time they embraced to change and had a fresh new intake of what school life is all about.
That's right.
NOT just academics and giving the school a
good name and crap.
NOT just insisting that the students become
lifeless pieces of rocks and robots, parading around the school with
shiny foreheads and red faces.
NOT bombarding them with expectations and limitations, and certainly
NOT shutting off anyone who has a good suggestion to make, or even feedback.
Because when it comes down to it, It's just
pride. And as we all know,
(probably from one of Matthew's/Goh's loong speaches)
Pride comes before fall.
And this is what will happen if we don't take a new look on things.
I want to be in an active, outspoken, liberal, and democratic school. Don't we all? where creativity is welcomed in
EVERY way, form and aspect, and where criticism is taken
constructively to improve things.
And while it's okay to worry about the reputation of the school... Have they ever thought of thinking about the students more and putting themselves in our shoes? If we were all happy and contented with the school, loved the principals and teachers, do you think we would be breaking rules and rebelling?
I think not.
