What is wrong with our class? Part 2

Okay, I have been thinking and I thought some of the reasons for our behavior of my class.This is a compilation of some of the feedback given in the comment section of the previous blog and my own personal reasons.I feel it is time to review our attitude since it is not getting anywhere better.It is saddening as part of the class that because of our behavior so many things are happening to us......

Reason 1:Apathy
People in our class have this trait.They do not seem to care for the class.Let's take our class cleanliness for example.No body is caring for the class.The floor is very dirty and the tables and chairs are horribly arranges.Firstly,I like to point out that some people do not do their duty.They feel it is a chore and they are really lazy to do their part for the class.Some do their duty but they do it in a hurry.They either want to go home or need to go somewhere as it is urgent.However,it is no excuse.They can request a change in duty time slot if they cannot make it.Some just do not like the duty so they do not perform to their utmost to help keep the class clean.If you think it is only the fault of the duty personal, you are wrong.Our whole class is at fault including myself.We should keep our class clean by throwing our rubbish in the outside bin instead of on the floor.After school,I can seen a few bottle of drinks from the canteen on several table.They are all empty yet not thrown away.People have a tendency to throw the newspaper away on the floor.It could be that it flew away but they should have kept the newspapers properly or threw it away(recycle).No body really take this problem seriously. Cleanliness affects our learning attitude whether we admit it or not.Even now when we have made many teachers angry,I doubt many of them actually treat this problem seriously.Our Geography teacher is getting angry even though he is not that type.He has repeatedly told us to be considerate and clean up.Did we actually listen to him or were we all sleeping?

Reason 2:Our Childishness
We are very childish for our age.We laugh at people's pronunciation or grammar.We laugh at everything we can possibly laugh at.During the assembly,the whole level was noisy and our level in charge scolded us.The level started to cough and sneeze on purpose during the assembly.It was totally obvious that many had done that deliberately.Some of our classmates have done that too.Even at the black box,they ran in the darkness and they played with the lights.They switched them on and off quickly and did not stop when the teacher came.They ran,screamed and played in the dark.We are so not acting our age.Isn't all this resemble to a childish 5 year old actions?It is fine if you are a little playful but the important thing is to know when is the appropriate time for certain things and know when to stop.My classmates do not know when to stop.They go overboard and result in angering our teachers

Reason 3: Our distraction
Laptops have a horrible effect on us.I do not think we are capable of handling this technology.The school gave us this privilege of bring laptops to school but how do we respond to our school?My classmates play computer games in class.I am not trying to air our class dirty linen but just to state the truth.If they played them after school,I am fine with it but they do it in class.Not a very smart thing to do.The temptation of these computer games is too strong.They are unable to pull themselves away when it is time to study.Our grades have dropped and our learning attitude has too.They want to play and not study.I refuse to accept the reason that computer games are for relaxation.They do it in class and affect their grades.Isn't it time to say "Hey,I shouldn't do this.It is not right"Yes, mouse hunt in class is still playing computer games.Our grades plummet but my classmates seemed oblivious or fine with it.I think if our class don't buck up or play less computer games,I feel that we do not deserve to be a future class.

Reason 4:We take things for granted/Lack of respect
We take our teachers for granted.Many feel that teachers have to teach us because it is their job.I believe this way of thinking is wrong.To be a teacher in our school,I believe they are more than qualified to be a teacher in other schools or even can take on another job.They choose to teach us as they feel the need to educate the next generation.Some actually quit their jobs to teach and others start to teach as it is their passion.They work hard to prepare lessons.They do readings on their own.We have many friends to help.We do one composition and we complain about the workload.They have to mark 34+ scripts.Let's see whose workload is more.Don't say it is their job,they are not obliged to give you work.They can just teach and do not give work.They can let you fail your tests but they do not because they want to teach.Yet,many fail to see the hard work put in by teachers.How do we respond? We complain or we don't do our work on time.Some classmates do not want to do while others just simply do not care.We do not put in effort when they ask us to research.We make noise to disrupt their lessons.We give teachers little respect as if they are supposed to teach us.We do not appreciate our teachers or make attempts to appreciate.Not finishing work on time is just messing up the teacher's schedule, giving him or her more trouble.Teachers do not owe us anything.We owe our teachers.Yes,sadly to say, it is true that we are ingrates.

Reason 5:Complacency
Many people think it is not to late to buck up.Last year,our MSG was going downhill and luckily we were knocked to our senses after term 3 and did exceptionally well for our end of year examinations.I believe many people think that they can achieve this feat again.They enjoy life now and neglect their studies then when the end of year examinations come,only then do they start to study. We are too satisfied with our last year's performance.Not many are taking their studies very seriously in this point in time since many indulge in computer games.The signs are clearly shown in our term 1 results and term 2 has not been promising with all the scolding and cold war with out teachers.Yet,many do not seemed to have the urge to change.They feel they have to time to salvage their grades so they keep putting off their studies or not focusing fully on them.Few feel that we need to make a change now.Do we not want to change for the better.We need the determination.However,we need the correct mindset first.Pride comes before a fall.Complacency causes the destruction of a class.

Our class have not been perfect but there is always a way to solve the problem.It is time to change and we need to change now.I know that change needs time and instant change is not possible but a least we should start with a small step.Perhaps just realizing the problem first would be good.Sorry if my tone was a bit harsh,I am just quite appalled at what is happening recently.I am not excluding myself from the blame as everyone has played a part and we are all from the same class.Sigh...

What more do you think we need to change so we can improve not only in our grades but also our attitude.Attitude is very important.Please comment in the comment box below.
