assembly

What can I say. Every single staff member involved with the grade eight students was at an assembly today.

All of them. Why?

To talk to us about behaviour. To say that our disrespect has to stop. To try and make us feel responsibility towards the school, and our own education. To make us go to the office with problems.

Here are a few of the rules they discussed: no violence-they went into a bit of detail, listen to teachers the first time, etc.

The dress code at our school is mostly fine. You know what I don't agree with? Sure, it's for learning, no short skirts, no tops too low, and no bra straps. What I don't like is the office providing shirts that are horrendously looked after. It's our right to wear it, and it's possible to have a bad day and forget about the code. Remind us, and we'll be OK the next day; only if it becomes a repetitive problem...
