Is it necessary to implement school rules and abide by it at all times? Well, of course. School rules are implemented to mantain order and discipline and keeps the school safe and conducive for learning. Punishments ensure that students abide by the school rules and do not commit the same mistake again and learn from their past mistakes. In Chong Boon, we emphasize a lot on ABC. They are, Appearance, Behaviour and Confidence but for the rules, it is Attendance instead of Confidence. Beside it, we also have our school core values, PRIDE. It is mainly Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Dedication to nation and last but not least, Excellence. In Chong Boon, the punishments slightly differs from other schools. When students in Chong Boon commits a slight mistake, they will get punish by staying back after school. It is known as detention but in Chong Boon, it is referred as Pride Time. When a student commits a serious offence, boys will be canned publicly while girls will be suspended and if things go beyond that, one might even be expelled. It is best to abide by the rules as every action is followed up by a consequence.
Attendance is important as the student might miss out lessons and CCA and as a result, affect her academic performance. It also shows in regards to the respect the student shows towards the school as well as to the teachers. Attendance also shows one's self discipline. Truancy is an example of one that do not exercise self-discipline. In Chong Boon truancy is not treated lightly as the attendance of students in school is very important, thus Chong Boon is very strict about it. This is also one way to teach student how to discipline themselves in order to survive in the outside world.
Appearance. Why is it compulsory for students to wear the school uniform and ensure that it is neat at all times? School unform is use to indentify yourself from other schools and when wearing the school uniform, you are representing your school so you should be proud of it instead of thinking that it is ugly and make modifications to the uniform. Students in Chong Boon might feel that the material that is used to make the uniform is very warm and stuffy but whatever it is, they still have to wear and respect it. The appearance of the student does not only consist of the uniform. Other components like the hair is included too. Hair should not be dyed or highlighted. Not only that, students should not wear any jewellery except for a pair of ear-studs for girls.
In my opinion, Behaviour and self-discipline is the most important in Chong Boon as it apparently teaches the students on becoming a thinking and gracious citizen because, if, the students do not have the heart to repent, no matter how hard and harsh the consequence might be, the students will continuosly repeat their mistakes and not learn anything from their lessons. These cases are sometimes related to the parents as if the parents do not pay enough attention to their child, they could easily go astray because their parents do not pay enough attention to them, and in order to get attention, they go astray and break the school rules.
Have you wondered why we have to abide by so many school rules? Without rules in chong boon, the student will lose control easily and there will be chaos everynow and then. That is why Chong Boon has come up with so many rules just for the sake of the student's well-being. To conclude everything, school rules are implemented for a purpose. Since it is meant to help us, we should abide by the rules, and treating it that it is for your own good and discipline yourself at the same time.
