Tell me, teens of the world, do you want to go to a school where staffs would rather have you in perfect uniform to promote unity than let you be warm in your non school regulation jackets so you won't freeze your ass off?
Hopefully, if you're a warm blooded animal like all humans tend to be then your answer would be a definite " HELL NO ".
But what happens to those who have no choice but to go to that kind of school?
Well, you bitch about it of course and pray your heart out other people would be warn about it and not sign up for the school.
Winter can be cold, yes? Freezingly ass biting cold.
And it just so happened that my school, Riccarton High School, has this really strict rule that refused to let you wear non school regulations jacket/scarf/sweater/raincoats <-- basically just clothing. Anything that is not designed or made for Riccarton High School has to go!
In summer, we wouldn't really give a shit about it cause putting on more clothes wouldn't make you colder but in winter, it makes a HUGE difference.
This is when teacher are the most active. They'll prowl around libraries, halls and places that are packed with students, waiting for the chance to pounce on them like hungry koalas. They'll be merciless. They'll snatch and grab. Do whatever they can to get their grubby paws on student's non regulation clothing, leaving them crying like vulnerable babies.
This is definitely not the Riccarton's Way, my dear lifeless teachers.
The teaches are insane, I tell you. Not only would they sacrifice their students' health for their stupid rule but berate them with verbal abuse when they get too sick to go to school. They'll also send them home during lesson's time so they can change their sports shoes into something " more appropriate ".
All these can be summed up into three very effective words :: WHAT. THE. FUCK?
It's okay if the uniforms are something you can actually afford. A flimsy cardigan cost my parents NZ$83! I calculated that 2 blouses, 1 kilt, 1 skirt, 2 pairs of shoes, 1 jersey, 1 cardigan, 1 PE shorts and 1 PE t shirts cost approximately... NZ$573!!!
AND, get this, all the items above can't keep you warm in winter. You'll still need a polar fleece/blazer, scarf and beanie. Don't they know that not everyone is as rich as they imagine, that's why we're in PUBLIC SCHOOL.
I would like for the teaches to also wear uniforms to school and see how they like it. How would they eer understand the numbing cold us students feel when they're snug in their teacher's lounge, hugging the heaters while trying to sip their hot choco/black coffee in their huge coats?
They have to experience it for themselves!
The school is also too cheap/poor, either one fits, to have the heater on during lunch hour. We are left to curse at them while punching our fists at the not- warm heater.
It doesn't help that the principal is a half liar as well.
During assemble on Wednesday, he told us that teachers from all over NZ are calling in regularly asking for a teaching position and students as young as Year 7 are lining up to get into that school. Principals from other schools are always commenting on how well bred we are.
Yeah okay? So what? You're only giving us the good stuff now dish us the dirt.
K said :: the only reason teachers want to teach us is cause they don't have to do any teaching! and its the easiest school in Christchurch, the students don't do any work.
You got that right, babe.
Teaching standard is pretty low in that school and you can find students with - 67 IQ there as well. So much for the great and almighty school huh?
