SAM(Special Afternoon Meeting) getting extreme.

Sunday, May 25 2008

Usually meeting occurs in Business life and held in the morning. But, What if a meeting was held 12 O ’Clock in a School field ? even it had a name. SAM, also known as Special Afternoon Meeting. Students at IICS sometimes “annoyed” with this SAMmy things, not only heated but students also missed their lunch time if they are required to join SAM that day. The basic reason is to educate students in terms of behavior and appearance, so that students at IICS can have a better personality not just in education but social life. The problem is students keep on repeating the same mistakes again so they were sent to SAM again and again, for example: an inappropriate school uniform, disruptive behavior during class or after class, late coming to school. Reason for attending SAM because of lateness is the most. If all the teachers already know it is not efficient, then why it still used? Giving a suspension for students that joined SAM for 5 times is quite unfair.
Teacher often follow their mood in giving SAM to students, simple mistake will cause a SAM even though we didn’t do anything. Having SAM for a lunch period didn’t educate students, sick or fainted is the result. Teacher didn’t respect the students that missed their lunch period, they sometimes eat in front of the students, is that how teacher educate students that doesn’t obey rules?
As a student of IICS, I have a similar point of view about SAM with the other students. We don’t like to be punished in that way because it is ridiculous, why don’t teachers consult individually with us rather than giving a pointless SAM?
It is just to extreme for us as a students.
