School Rules Are Not Made To Be Broken
Mistakes. We do these things every day. We slip, we flip,
we trip. Nobody’s perfect and I guess everybody knows that. Life may be a long difficult
test where we make mistakes but there would always be a lesson after each
fault.
School is a place almost all naughty children hate. It’s a
society where we thrive to survive. And of course, there are the mistakes we do
– even if we’re aware of it or no.
I’m lazy. I know I am and I’m a little bit disappointed with
myself but I can’t seem to change it. So let’s imagine that we get punished
each time we show a sign of slothfulness. Is being electrified a fair
punishment? Nah-ah. I’m just kidding. Let’s just say that if there is someone “sloth-ing”
around in school, he’ll be cleaning the classroom for a whole week and he’ll be
called twenty times in recitation in each class and he must answer correctly or
he’ll answer more questions next meeting. In that way he’ll know how hard it is
to clean and he’ll study in every class. I’m sure survival instincts will kick
in and he’ll never be lazy again.
Traffic is really not an excuse when you’re late. If you
know there’s traffic on your way to school, you know better than to sleep until
noon. You should wake up early so you won’t be caught in the rush hour or if
you would be, you have enough time to spare. And when you’re caught tardy, I guess
you’ll have to have your own flag ceremony in the cafeteria during lunch break.
You know the hang of it – you’ll have a prayer then the national anthem, then
the school hymn, then exercise and some food for thought. I guess you words of
wisdom there should be about tardiness.
Lying is one of the worst things in the world. Even a white
lie could create great problems so you should avoid lying in the first place. Honesty is the best policy right? It may sound
like a cliché but it’s so true. If anyone would be caught red-handed lying, he
would walk around the school for a week with an “I’m a liar” banner on his
uniform. That way, people would be careful in trusting him.
Being rude doesn’t really make you look cool. It makes you
look like a kid who grew up in the streets with no parents to teach him how to
respect others. Don’t do unto others what you don’t want others to do unto you.
If you want anyone o respect you, you should learn how to respect others first.
If anyone would be rude to other people in school, he’ll need to send his
parents to the guidance office. He’ll also need to say greetings to anyone he
meet or pass by in school. If anyone would report that he did not greet him, he’ll
be suspended for a week.
Anger and Violence are the next two things they may sound
like the same thing but they aren’t. Anger is about have this fire on you that
you can’t tame. It’s an emotion which is hard to control. Violence is about hurting
other people – intentional or not. You can be angry but not violent, you can be
violent without being angry and you can be angry and violent at the same time. If
you committed the “anger sin” you’ll have a class in the library – all alone
with the grouchiest teacher in school. I know for a fact that he’ll keep on ranting
on you. So you need to control your anger or you’ll be rude which will be a
different story. If you’ll be violent, you’ll need to spend all your school
hours inside the principal’s office. You’ll study there – self-study for a
month. You will also have a test in all subjects every end of the day. You can
ask the principal for clarifications – if you want and if you’re courageous
enough.
Greed is another sin hateful to me. Why is there a need to
be greedy? Why can’t everyone just have an equal share and that’s it. For me,
greed is an irrational emotion – I think it comes straight from hell. It’s
never for a good cause and will never be right. Now so much for my I-hate-greed
speech, I need to carry on. If anyone will be greedy in the campus - and hope
there won’t be any- he’ll need to eat every wood in the forest. Hehe. That would
be gross. Seriously speaking, he’ll give back seven-hold of the thing he wants
or greed for. I think he would never be greedy for anything again.
Cutting is something I had never done and would never do in
my life. You’re a given a chance to go to school, feed that hollow brain of
yours with your parents working hard for your needs. And how do you pay them
back? By getting out of school to escape your classes! Where’s the sense in
that? You would never learn anything if you do that. So if anyone would be
caught cutting classes, he would have his classes just outside the school gate.
If he won’t be there when the school guard check, he would need another school
to accept him.
Cheating is a crime. All your classmates work hard for the exams
and then you would cheat? You’re not that lucky to get away with it. I really
don’t want to talk about cheaters because they make me want to throw up on the
faces. They’ll be hanged to lessen the population. But kidding aside, they
would be kicked out of the school right away.
Committing a sin is never a good thing but you must learn
from it. Never do the same mistake again because that would be a good evidence
to show how foolish you are. Who knows maybe hell is true and you’ll spend an
eternity being punished.
We talked about random things then until it got dark. He
brought out a telescope and we gazed at the stars. They are really beautiful. I
asked him how he felt when he first saw the stars in his telescope but he didn’t
answer. I was able to locate only one constellation, the Orion, and one star,
Alnilam which is the middle star in Orion’s belt. He laughed and taught me
about the constellations and stars. He also told me about the myths about
those. I felt like it was the most magical and wonderful night of my life.
