Long title, I know. So let's go through the the reasons the school (just Mrs Ainsworth) has given for the induction program.
. 5 Minute leave early passes are bad
. So people behave
. So people understand the reasons behind the school "culture"
. So people behave
. 5 minute leave early passes are bad
. and did I mention so people behave and that five minute leave early passes are bad?
So there's basically one three real points, could be wrong though. Maybe she said a fourth thing and I didn't notice. Don't correct me if I'm wrong though.
So let's go through it One point at a time.
POINT 1: So people understand the reasons behind the school "culture"
Those quotation marks are doing some heavy lifting there. It's not really a culture if noone actually partakes in it. Things such as fire drills and lockdown drills and how to behave during them is not part of school culture, it's common sense which most people in this school lack. This one of the few things I can kinda get behind because most people in school don't bother with actually thinking. "If there's a shooter then I'm jumping out the window and running" If there's a school shooter and you go outside your classroom making a racket then you will be shot, no two ways about it. "What will one shooter do against thirty of us?" What will thirty of us do against two fifteen mags and good aim? In a classroom there are two main ways in, the door and the window. By exitting through one of them you put everyone else at risk. A door and a window will do nothing against a gun. What saves you is not being spotted and the shooter not bothering with even trying to enter. Use your brain.
POINT 2: So people behave
What is even the point in this reason? If we misbehave then a teacher tells you off, why do we need to be told again? What if you just already never misbehave? Then you're just wasting their time. Stupid reason.
POINT 3: 5 minute leave early passes are bad
Each student between year seven and nine have to take part in this. Two hours a day for two five day weeks, twenty hours total. twenty hours of learn lost per student. One hundred and ninety days of school, five periods, a loss of five minutes per lesson. Almost eighty hours lost. So why do we have five minute leave early passes if they make students lose so much time? According to Mrs Ainsworth it's because of people not knowing how to walk in the corridors and making others feel uncomfortable (and also claustrophobia or something but she never brought it up in assembly so I won't go into it). I'm just gonna use point 2 again. If you aren't walking properly then a teacher just tells you off. That's it. The most five minute leave early pass holders in any of my classes is three. 25:3, 500 hours of learning lost for those who don't hold a pass compared too 240 lost across the year for those 3. In total a collective loss of over 83 days of learning for those who don't have a pass.
I MISSED D TECH FOR THIS! IM RIGHTFULY ANNOYED AND NO TEACHER WILL CONVINCE ME THAT I AM BEING SLEFISH OR INCONSIDERATE FOR SAYING ITS STUPID! THE INTERGRATION PROGRAM IS A WASTE OF RESOURCES. ALL THAT PAPER THAT HAD TO BE SPENT ON EVERY STUDENT YEARS 7-9. IF YOURE SO DESPERATE FOR MONEY TO BUILD A NEW SCHOOL THEN DONT WASTE SO MUCH ON PRINTING. EVERY LITTLE BIT OF MONEY COUNTS. SPENT £50 ON SOMETHING MAY NOT SEEM LIKE MUCH TO A SCHOOL BUT IF YOU KEEP SPENDING £50 THEN IT ADDS UP! STOP WASTING YOUR MONEY ON THINGS THAT HAVE ALMOST NO BENEFIT. THE PLAN FOR THE INTERGRATON PROGRAM HAD TO GO THROUGH MULTIPLE PEOPLES HEADS AND MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAD TO AGREE WITH IT. "but what it as only a decision made by Mrs Ainsworth?" THEN THATS EVEN WORSE. SHE SHOULD HAVE RUN IT THORUGH MULTIPLE PEOPLE IF THAT WAS THE CASE. BUT I ASSUME IT ISNT THE CASE BECAUSE IF SO THEN YOU ARE THE SELFISH ONE FOR NOT RUNNING IT THROUGH ANYONE AND ASKING FOR FEEDBACK.
