Hi, It's Wayne here.
First of all, not to be negative-minded, but I'm pretty sure everyone agree that, with all the banging from the fireworks set off by irresponsible individuals and groups, many people couldn't concentrate on their studies and previously those who are taking their exams(form 4's)couldn't do very well with all these constant disturbance.
I too myself, was shocked many..many..many times when I'm taking my exam, and the formulas and ideas all banged away as well.
Other students' and teachers' safety is threatened as well. Who knows one day those people throw a firecracker on your head or near you? You
MIGHT get
injured! I am concerned about my own safety and the others.
And I'm also EVEN SURE that everyone would agree with me to take strict and thorough actions at those smokers who smoke at the toilet.
Not only it pollutes the school area, but second-hand smoking is proven to be
far more dangerous.
Let me ask you a simple question - do you want to increase your risk of getting
Cancer?

The teachers are closing not only one eye on those people, but
BOTH.
If there is a day where we can use our school toilet without smelling nicotine, tobacco, carbon monoxide and all those malevolent smokes, it's a miracle.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not degrading the school's reputation.
ACS is a school where we successfully nurture students with excellent SPM results.

But there is a saying - a rotten apple spoil the whole....uh...something something
lah.
What I'm trying to say is actions must be taken at students with disciplinary problems.
i.e. Smokers at toilets(which the teachers can nab, EASILY).
The teachers can just enter the toilet when they're smoking and go like..
"Ok you, you and you, oh you too, yeah you the one who's trying to keep the cigarette away but I still can prove you're smoking with all the smoke in your lungs. You all come with me to the office/police station. I'm calling up your parents."
But did the teachers do this?
No.
Experts have said that 90% of teenage smokers gradually become
drug addicts, because they want something
new and
more stimulating.

But I have to say those who play with firecrackers are a harder nut to crack.
As there's many hiding spots for them to stash their 'goods'.
Now even the police is paying a 'visit' our school.
Wayne, emphasizing the cold fact.

*Well, maybe I over-exaggerated a little bit, but still....*
P.S. The Board is updated. 2009/2010.
P.P.S I have a new motto idea, "Saving the trees, Recycling one at a time". Or do you have a better idea? Hit me, literally, not in real life, alright.
