I should have addressed this earlier, but holding it back till now.

I must say that the class is really getting poorer and poorer in terms of conduct. We didn't give the teachers the respect they deserved, and the neighbouring classes deserve.

I don't know about you guys, but I really felt out-of-the-class. I'm not being antisocial, and not that council work and others are taking too much of my time. It's just that sometimes what we're going isn't the right things, and things like playing poker in classrooms, vulgarities right in front of the teachers, shouting and running in the class where the connecting classroom is occupied with a teacher trying to give all he or she can to help the students in other classes.

We're not being very considerate here, and to an extent, we're really selfish. We really lack the sensitivity to give others a peace of mins and place to concentrate and study, and that we did not know where to stop after cracking jokes.

Jokes which went too far can hurt.
Speech which went too vulgar can annoy.
Noise which went too loud can frustrate.
Sensitivity which goes too low can anger.

What I'm trying to put across is that many of us lack the basics which were built up in secondary school, and definitely not showing the appreciation for the people around you. We don't appreciate Ms Chew by annoying her with constant strings of vulgarities, "continue to........". We don't appreciate the Mr Chin by not listening to him in class. That's not the way appreciation works.

I'm not flaming or directing this to anyone as an individual, because we're a class. My way of expressing worry and unhappiness is through blogging and also telling the person right off. I'm the type of people who dislikes talking and whispering behind my back. If you don't like what I just said or want to argue with me as to protect the class or yourself, find me and talk to me right in the face. I hate people who pretends there's no problems going on at the superficial level, and gossips amongst the class and others that I'm saying such negative comments about my own class.

I hope there's going to be a change effective in the class soon. My expectations are definitely not as high as what I expect in the council, but it's definitely not lower than how a normal class behaves in secondary school.
