School Image how impt?
-
May i know how you guys feel towards the importance of school image.
Or rather, how impt school image is to the school.
I open my school handbook. Look at the rules in it.
80% of them has to do with the image of the school.
And now its getting absurb like.
GG to the school.
And recently my school has just enforced this "i dunnoe where it came from" rule.
"You cant wear slippers when you are wearing ur school uniform, even if you are outside of school" eg shopping, on your way home after school.
Cause it like some of the people in my school have been wearing slippers after they leave the school. Cause school shoes can get un-comfortable at times.
And now with this rule. IMO its total bullshit. I dont consider it morally wrong.
I do understand that in school. There is a need to have rules. But outside of the school? All this rules just clearly shows how much schools nowdays are trying to defend the "school image"
Now there are rules like.
"No wearing of ear studs/rings for guys"
"If you are caught tucking out your shirt outside/inside the school more then 4times you will be canned"
"We must look neat tidy presentable in our uniform at all times"
I am not the kind of ahbeng that got long hair, got ear studs. And tuck out of shirt act paikia. I complain simply for the sake that IMO school is defending their school image too much.
Views and opinions people. Thanks -
good image = more pupils = money

i think school image is very important. it affects how people view its students in society. everytime a student puts on the school uniform, he represents the school. as such, no matter whether the student is in school or outside school, i think he should respect that represents hundreds of other students from the same school. u wouldn't want everyone to think that ABC school has this paikia or sloppy students image right? what will happen when next time u tell people u are from ABC school? people will naturally associate you with paikia or sloppy.
in fact, school uniforms are just on the surface. to truly uphold the image of the school, students should also behave well, especially when they are in the public eye. then people will think, "wah, this guy is from ABC school, so well-behaved and polite, the teachers must teach them well."
school image is really very important, because it affects the reputations of the many teachers, students, and alumni from that school. school uniform is really just one part of it, but i feel that all students should respect their uniform and wear it with pride -

Its all about the reeking hypocrisy we have in the society?
Its all so superficial.
Another question.
Why wont teachers and staff from the school just spit it out and say.
"You must do this, if not you will spoil the image of the school, and school image is very important to us"
Why do they have to come up with dozens of excuses. But not the truth? -
wait till u go army!
-
lets just say its important to the idiots in charge and about. unfortunately there are lots of such idiots around

why would it be about hypocrisy?Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:So are you trying to say.

image is very important in society. it's present when companies talk about branding, when the govt talks about clean and green environment, when the military talks about discipline. while it's true that image may not reflect true circumstances, it forms a first impression in people's minds. and we all know how important first impressions are.
wouldn't u feel pride when u belong somewhere with a good reputation than somewhere notorious? -
since when did schools allow male students to have ear studs/rings?
-
who cares?
if u really want to wear slippers and burn uniform in front of school?
they cant stop you what.
one word: strength.
-

There are students that look neat and well with their school uniform on.
But outside with their own shirt, they act like pai kia and the school literally dont care. Or rather they cant do anything so they dont care.
No i wont feel proud. Cause it is all superficial.
Its like the singing of national anthem. I can gurantee plus chop that 80% of the students in sg arent proud or, they dont care if they are sgreans all not as long as they can live in this country. And they dont even borther to sing the national anthem. Unless during flag raising they stand beside teacher then bo bian or teacher will catch. Why? To avoid trouble not because they are truly faithful to the country. Its all about the hypocrisy. The only superficial image. -
Serious bo. You last time what school one.Originally posted by udontknowme:when i was in sec school they said that very often...

My school (not to name what school) never say this one.
They always say that "if you cant follow simple rules, next time you go out to society how?"
I am not saying what they say is wrong but. I dont think it is the biggest part of the reason.
PS: I want to avoid trouble as well. -
Skool image only for show one.
If the school really enforce good education, which includes moral education, then even if u dun stress on the image, the image also will be good one. If otherwise, no matter how you stress on image, the end product (students graduated liao) is still kenna sai one. -
But why arent school pursuing this?Originally posted by Hogzilla:Skool image only for show one.

Because they know they cant? Or they teachers and staff dont care as long as the image is there and they get their pay? -
Last time my classmates has lip studs too.Originally posted by digicharat:since when did schools allow male students to have ear studs/rings? -
i somewhat agree with you but the problem comes when schools place more priority on their image over their students' well-being, until they don't care what or how the students think.Originally posted by cAr|n:why would it be about hypocrisy?

imagine a company made a product worth $0.10 and it totally sux due to bad QC and other internal costs cutting but devoted 3 million dollars to marketing and branding.
would it be a good product? take slim 10 for example, so what it has artistes promoting the product, and all those marketing campaigns, its poison underneath. if its poison, its poison.
they are leading students to believe that they are sidelined by those rules, not for their own good but for the school's "reputation". with that, how can there be any pride instilled? at the end of the day, they are gonna either do their best to rebel or follow like a sheep. that is a bloody waste of time.
i think showing them what they should do, if they are proud of their school and do their best to instil that pride, but not force them to accept the rules, much less making unreasonable demands. -
but did you school allowed it?Originally posted by Eternal-fire:Last time my classmates has lip studs too. -
Because it is VERY tedious for the teaching staff part and not all the parents are co-operating. Teachers alone can't do the moral education, it is the parents that does the most. It takes two hands to clap, you know.Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:But why arent school pursuing this?

So those so called "human soul engineer" jia zua lor. Put there for show can liao, as long as they dun starve themselves ok le. -
Thanks alot. I hope one of my school staffs see this.Originally posted by Ito_^:i somewhat agree with you but the problem comes when schools place more priority on their image over their students' well-being, until they don't care what or how the students think.
