Can you believe this?!..You probably can't since I haven't explained it yet, but I assure you you'll be feeling the same way about it as I do!
My school has been going through some dramatic changes lately in an act to give itself a cleaner image. This means stricter uniform rules, no whistling, no video games and us seniors have been stripped of all our privileges. We are now expected to wear dress shoes, which has never happened in the whole six years I've been going there, and tailored shorts. Us seniors see no point to this as we'll be graduating in two terms, so we're all being put on detentions because we refuse to make the change. In retaliation our canteen privileges have been taken from us. No longer are we allowed to use the canteen whenever we have a free period. We have tolerated this.
But now for some reason the teachers have decided that we can no longer be in the library during our free periods as we're not being 'productive'. First is was slow, we weren't allowed on Games of any kind, okay, then they didn't want us on youtube...alright...then the other week I got told off for checking my email. -_- Now we're banned all together. For us to use the library we now have to go to the deputy principal (Not that he's ever in his office) and acquire a note just so we're allowed to set foot in the library. THIS IS TAKING IT TOO FAR! How are we expected to get any work done anymore?!
I have two free periods a day AND I'm also allergic to mosquitoes, so the Library is the perfect place for me. I only take Visual Arts, Visual Design, English and Information Tech, all of these subjects don't give out a lot of work, so what am I expected to do? Make work up?! I'm expected to sit there for 50-75 minutes with no entertainment. As you can see this no games rule has been tough on me and now with this library ban my free periods are going to be total hell. -_-
We're only allowed to sit in two areas of the school now. The Detention room and the Pleasants (which is located in the center of the school surrounded by class rooms and mosquito infested drains). Next these places will be taken from us as we'll be making too much noise. This school is just ******** retarded.
My friends and I, in an act of rebelion, have been sticking posters up all over the school of random internet memes and posters that point out the teachers own hypocrisy with the school uniform changes. We don't expect to get anything out of it, but it makes us feel better dammit! >: (
