Another tedious day. Almost everyday I went back from school at around 2pm-4pm. Tired. Today also is the same; by the time I reached my house, I glanced at my phone's screen. It tells me that it is 4.25pm. For god sake! I have to do a lot of things that I did not complete yesterday: maths homework, MUET newspaper cutting, PA, wash the car, prepare the name list of those who had paid the fees and many more. But, I'm not going to talk on how I'm going to spend the remaining 7 hours in this day, what I'm going to talk is actually what I discussed in the PSS meeting before I went back.
I'm in-charge of the discipline unit of PSS of my school, and we have discussed of how to overcome the discipline problem that we faced. Previously, I had proposed a Demerit and Merit system to all the PSS prefects, and teacher was happy with it. Today's meeting was to discuss about the marks for the demerit marks that is to be set. So, we discussed about it and we finally agree to launched it. Between, I mentioned ways to overcome those who is late in returning their book(s). I believe everyone should knew that the book(s) that was(were) borrowed should be returned within the given time, otherwise they will be fined. However, there are some students who may have forgotten that they actually holding the book(s) that actually belongs to the library, or maybe they are just too rich and they need somewhere to output their money. Sadly, there are quite a number of students who did not even return the books at all, though the debt is increasing day by day, but the fine doesn't seemed to motivate them to return the book and settle the fine. So, I suggested that why don't we demerit their marks? (Note: My school have a demerit system too. Every student is given 100 marks. Marks will be deducted for any rule breaking. Marks will be given for any good behavior) My teacher later reminded me of the effectiveness of the Demerit system. She asked me:"Do you think that Demerit system gave any impact on the students?" Dumbfounded. We all shook our head.
Indeed, the demerit system does not have any effect on the students. Every years student plays fire crackers in the school but nothing happened to them. Well, perhaps they are still fine by now, but in future? Who knows. Looks like our discipline teacher have to scratch his head hard to figure out a new method to overcome the discipline problem that were currently faced by our school. Besides, students have to behave themselves too.
Any comment on how to overcome or deal with the discipline problem, please leave me a comment. Your comment is very valuable and precious to me. Thanks a lot and have a nice day too. ^^
