recently, the school is emboiled in two groundbreaking events. Uniform Check and File Check, both of which is kickstarted by our esteemed principal, whatever his name is. i miss the former but am not able to escape the latter. but seriously, this is like WTF.

i do not know if the rest of my classmates share my sentiments but i feel that all these are absolutely unnecessary but for uniform check, i have no complains about that coz in NCC, we have it all the time and the punishments are more or less the same. Either you cut or i cut for you. if you have long hair and we would send them out to cut their hair and they have to be back by the appointed time or not we will punish them even harsher.

we treat dye hair the same too. we'll give them 7 choices.

1. Colour your hair with Shoe Polish
2. Colour your hair with Spray Paint
3. Colour your hair with Marker
4. Cut off the coloured hair
5. Dye your hair black
6. Watch your flight mates knock it down 200
7. Demotion

and if we happen to have improper uniform, we would always expect to kena severe punishments from our seniors. when i became a CLT, we did the same thing to the cadets too. the entire process was to ensure that we would look smart and nice in our uniform as we are representatives of our school and unit. to look sloppy would be consider as us disgracing our unit.

so after what i went through in NCC, i can understand what the school is trying to do, thus i shall not be too critical of this issue as some of my classmates are. let's all take it that the school is trying to revamp its image in the eyes of the public and the first step of course would be to look prim and proper and not like some Ah Beng or Ah Lian as some of our students obviously look like one. to me, i think that it is perfectly alright. there is nothing wrong with being send home. so ya. i do not see what is all the fuss about. the only fuss that i can think of is the way in which they conduct the uniform check. other than that, i do not think that there is anything wrong with the way that things are done. after all, some of the teachers did try to help the students cover up.

File Check, i seriously do not know what is the school's problem. 5 files all together at the same time. it is quite stressful. my guess would be that the principal is too free at Bartley that is why he wanna burn his time away by checking our files or if not it is because that he wanna test the efficency of the teachers. and if he really do that at our expense. he really failed as the principal. this has never happen before, most of the times the file checks are done over a period of time so that we can better prepare our files. but not this time. it is really an overkill.

i shall not be so harsh in this post about the school management though i have a lot to say as i am in quite a bouyent mood over some issues. and also i do not feel like typing a super long post. :))
