When did SC have a communication problem???

I thought that before i start, i should wish everyone a Happy Hari Raya Haji. If not for this holiday, you would not be seeing me here typing this article, but you would definitely see me attacking the homework mountain currently located on my desk...

Anyway, i wasn't really planning to write this like for a few days, so you most likely would not need to endure a really long article like last time when i had inputs from a lot of people...

The thing i am going to write about today is about the meeting that we had today, the meeting is essentially a debrief of the orientation week...

We were closing the debrief and than we started talking about the attitudes of the SC...
If you had been paying attention to my post, i had been complaining about the latecoming that had been happening in the SC. Now, I feel like adding a few more, ponning meetings (Notice that ponning here means that the reason you are absent is either invalid or isn't there at all) and discipline, which i believe i had been complaining since 2004...

This two things that i am adding happens to affect each other. For the debrief we had today, we have about 30 odd people. Aren't surprising, even though our council strength is about 80... This is as the sec 2s aren't around, they got their PSP thing (Peer Support Programme) and some of the other comms had ponned...
And this attendance thing had been around for quite some time, ever since orientation preparation started (last year december)...

But i don't feel like talking too much about this...

What i feel like talking about was the discipline over the sc. I mean, the people in disco had enough of seeing the sc break the school rules. It makes their job really difficult even when the other comms aren't even helping them catch the offenders...

I mean, how many SC had wore ankle socks over the holiday when they came back to school for whatever heck they have to attend? How many SCs care about the fact that their belts are strapped properly... And how many SCs play or allow people to play Basketball in school-U...

The list can go on and on, and what does this got to do with the meeting?

Other than the fact that we were talking about the attitude problem, Choon Yan helped transmit a message from Anna (which we later found out wasn't really from her) which asked the SCs present at the meeting to stop making our job so tough and that discipline is not limited to disco but to all the other comms as well...

The problem with that is that, our main target audience isn't there. As i had stated earlier, they had ponned......
In fact, this thing that i was talking about, we were originally supposed to talk about it way back in 30/12/2005... But i guessed the teachers forgot or er, shifted it to the back of their brain.

So, what's the sc problem, attitude, or the people in there...
Like what one of my other friends said :"To gain the student trust back, the SC needs to be reformed"

I wonder if that would ever happen...
