school pro. editorials

Students are baffled and outraged by the increase of school rules and strictness. Many old rules are being more strictly reinforced, punishment for minor things like forgetting to take off your hat in class could end you up with out a toque in the harsh Saskatchewan winter and, new rules emplaced such as the controversial no energy drinks rules haven’t exactly got the new principal on many of the students’ good side.

The strictness of the rules this year was unexpected; of course not even half of students had a clue who the new principal would be. Hague High School has had a tough time over the last few years having a different principal every year since 2007 to present.  Even with the changing principals the rules from the time Mr. Kirby was principal (principal at Hague for many years before starting a different principal job else were) hadn’t changed at all till now and we haven’t had any problem with those rules.

Why would the new principal change these rules? Maybe she’s trying to make this school a better place or maybe these are the rules she had used before coming to Hague. These rules are probably used else were in the district so it’s not like we’ve got it so bad. These rules and the strictness that are emplaced are there to teach us how to be respectful and responsible. Rules like the no energy drinks in school rule is emplace because those drinks aren’t very healthy and they make u hyper during class time which is not so easy on the teachers, and rules like the no hats and no food rules had been there but they were strongly disregarded by most students because of the lack of serious consequence.

Then again most of the consequences surrounding simple and minor rules are equal to the rules being 30 minutes late for class. From example last year if you wore a hat as you walked in the class you’d be told to remove it from you head this year if your told more than once you lose it for the class. What most teachers don’t realise is that most people were hats so mush that they can’t tell if it’s on or not and they will often forget their hat is on; so really the old way for this particular rule maybe better. People especially students around high school age are extremely possessive of even the smallest of items (hats, shoes, etc.) it can be felt as a threat to the condition of the item.

So maybe these rules are harsh and maybe they aren’t so bad, but they are different. They are harsher and more numerous than before and it may take some time to for many students to adapt to these changes.

Ray Kroc (founder of Mcdonalds) and Walt Disney werw very good friends they grew up in the same area they both served in the same medic core in the army after ward they both persued the course of child targeted companies. By the time they grew into big companies they still had a relationship and the both had a dependace on each other. In The Merchants Of Cool they talked about the relation between what is cool and how to market it before they make it uncool. The brands depend on something to be cool themselves to know about it, and on on that thing to not change bfore that thing become uncool
