Just a short critique on the Principal's Dialogue held on 9 March 2010:The two hours of almost rhetorical, back and forth ball passing dialogue was somehow riveting! I sat there, amused by the crap some of the speakers came up with. Most of the students do not make any effort to speak in complete, proper English. The Auditorium was seated with student councilors, class executive members, CCA leaders and teachers. The authoritative people, Ms Priscilla Yu, Bibiana, Mr Seet, Mr Suki, Mr Siva/Mr Adrian Tan sat behind five desks on the stage. Mr Seet did a quick introduction on the Principal's Dialogue; it's purpose was to allow lawmakers of West Spring to listen and hear the students' voices, those present were called the Cream of the Crop of West Spring. Shi Yun asked the first question on why was heavy topics put close together for Common Test 1. Mr Seet explained that it was to further stretch our ability to cope with our studies. Next, Jie Ming championed for handphones to be allowed in school. Many people supported in applause. First of all there are no such thing as handphones, it is officially known as the mobile phone. Secondly, this took up one hour of the whole dialogue! For mobile phones: for emergency in class. Example given: someone fell and was bleeding profusely. need to be contacted by family members Teachers are carrying it Against mobile phones: Source of distraction illegal videoing and phototaking family members can contact school and the school will call upon you Teachers are working adults Source of envy Other mobile phone problems: Applying for mobile phone pass too troublesome If they have to keep their phones switched off at all times, how do family members contact them? Those who brought their phones to school and did not carry a pass were told to raise their hands. More than 50% of hands raised up. Mr Seet stated that more will be discussed with his discipline committee. Raising your hands at that moment, i believe, was an act of defiance, a blatant disregard for law and order. Its like, being proud of killing! Just because the majority bring their phones to school illegitimately, does not make it justifiable to do so. The school does not and should not cultivate a democratic structure. It should remain guided and governed by the Principal, vice-principals and teachers, until one day when an intelligent and mature enough cohort come along. Till then, we should only be given the freedom of speech and not the freedom of action. Current Solution: Just get the bloody pass from Mr Suki. MIGHT continue some other time... AND I updated the Google Calendar with the Holiday class time-table Ciao Bumber Yufei |
