"Dilemma... ...."
School was slightly better than yesterday although I am certain that structural disease (meaning we are imposed by rules and regulation that compromises liberty by dictatorship) is evident nevertheless. As a student I have to highlight the importance of punishment - a one size fit all sentence imposed by my school for the misbehaved.
As it is important that our school rectify any delinqeunt behaviour, appropriate rules and regulations has been meted out. As a consequence of breaking these rules such as coming to school late and the most vital (idiotic) of all - skipping classes - one would have to serve detention till 6PM. Undeniably, the purpose of a punishment is to pyschologically awaken a person's sense of guilt and bridge as a preventive measure to allow the misbehaved to learn from his mistakes and not commit it again. However, detention as a form of punishment has passed from its days of usefulness. Detention may be the worst thing that could ever happen to any weak minded student but, recalcitrant offenders would eventually be numbed to the prospect of it. Consequently, this will result in more late comings and with certainty, not ameliorate the number of truancy. Reason is simple: NUMBED. Detention has lost its credibility.
Anyway, I served the sentence and owe Wendy Choo two more and I will do it... although it will be dependent on my mood... i intend to serve on tuesday and thursday.
I have been upset with Wendy's attitude I mean, she is good as a history teacher but she is completely imbercile as a home tutor. I guess this was imposed by the school but that dosen't mean she has to faithfully act it out right. She will learn this as the years go by... (hopefully). I am not at all surprised by the turned-out attitude and portrayal of my contemporaries because this has been the school's upbringing and mindset conditioned into us. They treat us like primary school kids and expect us to think like one. Obedience like robots. If (school) buisness comes with no moral sympathy, or honorable code of behaviour, GOD HELP US ALL (Anita Roddick).
I wrote a poem out of frustrations today...
Breath,
I can't.
Voice,
I lost.
Vision,
Obscured.
Soul,
I lost.
Caged,
We are.
Robots,
They are.
Earth.
Inferno.
Confined.
Trappings.
Freedom.
We lost.
