now, there is this very um... pertaining issue in school, and i have spoken to some prefects, and even brought it up briefly with some teachers.

to cut things short, it's about cards/playing cards. the school is currently being a ________ not allowing people to play cards. yes i know it's about the school's "image" (whatever that is), cos any people visiting and seeing students playing cards in the classrooms will think that this is RGS (Raffles Gambling School). anyway, i acknowledge that fact, but please don't forget that not ALL instances of playing cards equals gambling.

yes, i know it's useless posting here, but it's equally useless talking to either prefects or teachers. in the case of teachers, they just say it's the school rules, and they can't do anything about it. however, there is one teacher, who will remain unnamed, who has allowed us to blatantly display cards in class, with his permission. the purpose of bringing out the cards at that time was for entertainment (what else?) and i really appreciate his flexibility. unlike prefects, who promise lots but give little. their standard response is "Keep the cards now, if not i'll book you.". when asked why cards are not allowed, they refer to the teacher's answer. hai...

well, they keep emphasising on bonding and whatever, so we are finding a way to bond. except that, our way isn't the school's way. hmm. great. besides, card games that require skill and thinking also train up mind skills.

Till next post...

ps. for those people who want to flame me for this, this is just my opinion. cheers. =)
