Changes are happening at Bishops

[Smiley73]

That just sounds wrong

[Smiley73]

Can't say the changes aren't unexpected

[Smiley73]

I think the school board finally realised that blatantly flouting the law for six years was a bad idea

[Smiley73]

Maybe they were scared of getting sued...

I wonder if I could sue them...

 

[Smiley73]

For blatant disregard of the SA schools act put in place two years before my grade 8 year

[Smiley73]

On principle I might, in practice I'd probably lose

[Smiley73]

Too much to lose for Bishops, money and bad press and donations maybe

[Smiley73]

And bishops likes its money

[Smiley73]

Those headmaster's houses and sport pavilions don't build themselves

[Smiley73]

Well that was a cynical rant

[Smiley73]

Any way those rules were something like

 

no initiation (isn't that already a rule?)

No punishment by boys on other boys

no form ups

no using newboy for personal use

No newboys in matric rooms/study

letting boys punish boys, letting initiation, or initiation-like practices take place, or not doing enough to stop it. Those are the ones directly against the law

[Smiley73]

which wasn't all bad. The punishment was necessary to keep the school running, I think we have a better system in place now though. Initiation also has it's ups and downs but its end does not surprise me

maybe that's more of a problem than the actual old system. I dunno, my school's been around for so long and things stay the same for ages so I wouldn't be surprised that it sounds all outdated and old and not nice, but I turned out fine, and it really isn't that bad
