As usual, nothing much happened. The thing that I would want to talk about would be about our school's new policy about locking students out for the whole day if they're late. I agree that the problem of being late is quite big in our school and that there should be some kind of punishment towards it, but I don't think that locking students out is that good of an idea. A lot of the times, students don't have a choice to be arriving to school early, because of their siblings or parents. And sometimes, there are those sometimes, that something happens, which would cause a delay to all schedules. And while paying so much money to come to school, being sent home to study is really a waste of money. Another thing is that it is quite dangerous. What if the student lives really far away, and the only way to get home is by their parents, but their parents have work to go to too, where does the school expect the students to go to? What would the school say if something happens to them while they are outside, finding a way to get home? I don't think that the policy should be this harsh, but I would agree on having a rule set to minimize the amount of late students everyday.
