Today was my school orientation. It was really different. Here are a few really weird ones:
- We all have to have 2 hankies in our right pocket and a toilet paper roll in the left pocket "AT ALL TIMES!"
- If we make "Disrupting noises" we have to clean the toilets.
- If we cross the Berlin Wall our punishment is Provision of 1 bag of cement.
- The funniest one was when he asked all the boys to stand and say,"I will never ever, say to a girl, I love you." Then he asked all the girls to stand and say the same thing but to a boy.
- And school starts at 7:00 a.m.!!!
Here are a few gems:
I'm so glad to hear you won't be telling any boys that you love them!
ReplyDeletePlease don't get caned. What ever you do! And, where is the Climate Committee when you need it?
ReplyDelete7:00 am?? No wonder your school song says "Arise. Arise." I hated getting up that early in Junior High. (I still do.)

ReplyDeleteOK, I have to know if you've witnessed any of the "recommended measures of discipline?" (I pray no caning.) What do your African classmates think of their school and the rules? Have you told them about your US school at all?
ReplyDeleteWell...I think I need to go read the book of Proverbs again.
ReplyDeleteJake, Burke, and Scott are betting that you'll never again complain about school rules when you're back in the States! This is great stuff. So are parents as strict in the home as the teachers/staff are in the schools?

Do you wear a dress to school? Are the hankies for runny noses and sneezing, etc?
