What is up with this school?!
OK, first they say "you don't so enough private study", and take away half the non-contact periods that each of us have and say that we have to do private study in them. OK, so I do private study in most of them anyway, but it's nice to have the option of it y'know? So we've been doing this new routine thing for about 6 weeks or so, and now they've decided to reward the people who have been doing the private study by saying "oh wait, you don't have to do as much anymore. You can go back to doing what you were doing before." So yet again we're being used as guinea pigs as far as I can tell. Last year it was for PUS, this year private study. And it makes no sense. The teachers were saying that it wouldn't make a difference, 'cause if you weren't working in non contacts, we should be, and if we were working in them it wouldn't make a difference. So what's with the "we've changed our minds" thing? OK, I know I shouldn't complain. I mean, at least I have the opportunity to say when I get to do private study again, but I just wish people would pick a scheme and stick to it!
I have a question. What is it with the many many many reminders that this event is coming up, that event is coming up, the other event is coming up about 2 months before said event? I mean, things like Christmas, Valentines Day etc. happen every year, and most happen on the same day. You would think that people would realise that they are coming up without having big banners etc. reminding them of the events every which way they looked, wouldn't you? The events get so over commercialised that the true meaning of the events goes out the window, and it seems to me like it becomes a popularity contest.
Take Valentines Day. It's turned into a competition of who is the most popular person, who gets the most cards, who gets the most expensive present, who can think of the most extravagant thing to do on the day? What happened to just spending time with the one's you care about, not trying to outdo their efforts, but just being happy to be with them. I just don't see the point of people spending so much money on one person. It shouldn't be a money competition, but that's what it's become. I dunno. I suppose it could just be me. What do you lot think?
