I have several things to comment on about that really irritates me. Our school's administration had recently established this new punishment that late comers shall be subjected to weeding the pavillion area and cleaning the school toilets. Hence, they spend at least one to two periods out of class weeding and scrubbing school toilets. Is this supposed to help the students in any way? They would be even more thrilled to stay out of class and hence, wouldn't their results drop in opposite to what Mdm Mary John, the principal of SMK. St. Teresa wants?? The students have been told to weed and how many weeks have this weeding ceremony been going on already and are most of the weeds gone or most of the leaves on those decorative plants gone, I ask you? If you have the eyes to see, oh gosh, wake up! The leaves are gone instead and the weeds remain. See how riddiculous this new punishment is?? Have you got eyes to see that students actually enjoy weeding, chit chatting and laughing while weeding??? You still got students coming late right, it shows that they don't bother about the absurd punishment! So abolish it!!!
Sometimes the student is late because of their parents fault. If I may press on again, I would like to clarify my oppinion that it's mainly the fault of their parents. As a parent, you ought to make sure and take an extra step to ensure that your daughter reaches the school by 7.00am. You ought to be the one who wakes up before your daughter does and wake up on time! Be punctual and get your daughter to the school get by 7.00! Therefore, instead of punishing the students, there ought to be this thing whereby one day all the parents of the latecomers group together to do weeding instead as a punishment for sending their daughters late to school. Gosh, SMK. St. Teresa, abolish the weeding and toilet cleaning rule for goodness sake! The prefects in charge have to stay out one period just to make sure the students actually weed and this only wastes their time when they are not even late! It's like they are being punished as well!
For all I've got to say, it seems like my school's administration is going down the drain with implications of many ridiculous new rules.
