5 a.m. in the morning?
"What?? Are they crazy??"
Yep, that was my exact response when Little Bkworm came back from sports practice yesterday afternoon and said that she had to be in school by 5 this morning for some last minute marching rehearsals. It is her school sports day today.
I understand that they may have to be in school a little earlier to prepare but at five in the morning??!! I asked if the school has given any official notice about this but she said it was at the team leader's instructions. Okay, mummy here contacted THAT said leader and she (a fifth former, all but only 17) told me that while there will be a guard at the school, there will be no teachers present. And if I was worried about Little Bkworm's safety, I can come watch them practice. Little Bkworm was all flustered that I was interrogating her leader but hey, with all that crime out there now, I have every right to be concerned!
Later in the night, her team leader informed Little Bkworm that the time has been changed to six instead. So this morning, at 6 am, we dropped her outside her school and saw that many other students were also sauntering into the school grounds at the same time. So, looks like this is an accepted practice. Sigh!
Maybe this is how secondary schools work nowadays, eh?
Yawn! I wish I can go back to bed but work starts in another two hours, so might as well blog about this and surf the internet a little before then.
Have a great Friday, y'all!
10 thots:
5am? OMG!!!
What kind of rehearsal takes place in total darkness? that LEADER must be be having problem sleeping :P
13 years more, I'll be panicking like hell...
O dear, 5am?! Good thing it was pushed back by an hour! Even then, is the school not being kia-su?
I remember having to catch the public bus at 6am when I was in Secondary School... everything would still be so dark at that hour!
Wah! Thats a bit early. I would have thought 630 was early enough coz most sports meets dont start until 8am which is already a little later than normal school timing.
The difference between school here in Canada.. and back home.. *sigh*
OK, 5am is an overkill already. My sister is also one who wants to be at school *early*, even on normal schooling days. I suspect that she just wants to hang out with her friends in the morning. Cuz otherwise, I can't think of a reason why she insist on going to school early. (Not to say very much earlier la, around 20mins before bell rings must reach wo). During my time, before I was recruited into the prefect board I arrived around 5 minutes before the bell rang.
Egghead
I was totally aghast at the idea!
Gargies,
Who knows what the education system will be like then??
BP,
I was shocked to find other kids going into the school grounds at 6am as if that's a regular thing to do!
SAHM,
Kiasu lor. They wanted to have last minute practices!
MamaBok,
Difference? More easy going?
Narrowband,
I was more bothered by the fact that no teachers were going to be present in school at that hour though there would be senior students around. Still not right, isn't it?
*knock knock* Bkworm, are you in?
Hope you're having a great week... almost weekend liao!
BP,
TGIF!! Yipeee! Hope you will have a lovely weekend with your family. :)
