Remember the ``no-harm principle''? <em>Excessive gossip twists normal friendships and make them awkward, distorted, and unnatural.</em> In some sense it has became, hopefully unintentionally, a social way to discourage friendship, communication and, I guess, compassion between individuals of different genders.

As presented in Figure 1, a drinking water fountain allows its user to push a button (or otherwise trigger the fountain's water flow) for direct drinking or refilling a water bottle. + </p> + <p> + Water fountains are superior to the existing bottle-filler system because in occasions where it is inconvenient to carry and/or use a water bottle (such as not wanting to carry extra stuff while doing sports), it allows for a quick sip of water. Water fountains, as mentioned above, can also fill water bottles, though they are slightly less good at doing so compared with traditional refill systems (which I thus propose should be kept to some extent). + </p> + <figure> + <img src="https://images.pexels.com/photos/159756/water-fountain-drinking-school-159756.jpeg" alt="A Drinking Water Fountain" class="i" /> + <figcaption>Figure 1: A Drinking Water Fountain</figcaption> + </figure> + <h2>Clearer Policies</h2> + <p> + I may not have full information on this as I am a new student. However, to me it seems that the school doesn't have official definitions of what constitutes violations of policy, what results in detentions and/or other punishments (if that's the right word) and a general process for resolving disputed cases. + </p> + <p> + While I understand that this is a <em>school</em> and not a <em>country</em> that needs a rigorous legal system, the uncertainty involved is somewhat unsettling. As far as I know we generally solve disputes in terms of ``common sense'' and variations and interpretations of our School Values (Compassion, Integrity and Balance) and links to various documents scattered everywhere. It will be of huge benefit to both students in understanding what is allowed and what is prohibited and to teachers and other staff when handling disputes. + </p> + <p> + This is definitely not an easy proposal (though the good thing is, unlike the previous proposal, there's no money involved for installing extra hardware)—writing rigorous legal documents (or documents of similar nature) is hard. I will, regardless of the results of the election this year, actively help in asking school officials and other faculty and staff about current regulations, integrate them into a hopefully comprehensive document, and review and revise them with members of the Student Government, faculty and staff, and the student body. + </p> + <p> + This is a relatively new idea. I'm working on <a href="constitution.pdf">a revised version of the Student Government Constitution</a>, but this is obviously not enough—I hope to cover all policies and regulations, not only these directly related to Student Government itself and the elections thereof. + </p> + <h2>Relaxed Student Email Rules</h2> + <p> + I (partially) understand the school's concerns like abuse of student emails and students getting scammed. However, it may be plausible to list the costs and benefits of restricting outside email. + </p> + <p> + Problems with the email restrictions: (1) Students cannot send or carbon-copy messages to their parents or other people for school-related messages. If we're doing something important, like in my case when I wanted to change a subject for my studies in Y9 and Y10, I had to send an email to Mr. Ogram and Mr. Funnel with my school email, and being unable to carbon-copy it to my parents, I had to forward that to my parents with my personal email. While this might not look like a big deal it is pretty annoying and isn't how email is intended to be used. (2) Especially in outside-of-just-academics activities like CCAs and clubs, in many times there would be people from outside our school involved. (The simple solution of ``hey just join our school'' doesn't work.) In many cases using our school email is better than using our personal emails for the matter because it's inherently a school-club-related thing. Again, not too big of a deal, but would be nice to be able to do so. + </p> + <p>I <em>do</em> believe that students should not use their school emails for signing up to online services.</p> + <p>I'm not really sure about this one, I don't very strongly feel the need for change, though it'd be nice to have if we address other concerns like spam, abuse, etc.</p> + <div id="footer"> + <hr /> + <p><a href="/school/">Andrew Yu's School Stuff</a><br /> + <a href="/">Andrew Yu's Website</a></p> + </div> + </body> +</html> |
