An Important Scholarly Issue

In the world today, there are many issues and concerns on many different levels. There is one serious problem that personally affects me and countless other people nationwide. This is the fact that some people do not take class seriously. They’ll either fool around and waste valuable time, or they simply will distract and agitate you and the staff. This will lead to you not performing, or learning, at the best possible level. This is not only annoying in high school, but these people may leech onto you on the college level, too. With people being fools in college, you aren’t going to get your money’s worth. School clowns, in every scholarly setting, need to be dealt with; they are not a small problem.

First of all, these kinds of people like to make the teachers and staff miserable. People in high school will unintentionally (but sometimes intentionally) show up late. Although this may be acceptable a few times here and there, class jokers will purposely show up late to test the instructor’s boiling point. Not to mention, they will come up with some kind of stupid excuse. The problem with these people is that they will do almost anything just to get a quick laugh out of some kids. They also will get their own laugh. Some people would just rather spend some time in detention instead of acting sensible. There are many specific things people like this tried to pull.

In the old days of the school cafeteria, kids would pour milk and other assorted grime over their lunch trays just to make the cafeteria staff clean up the disgusting slop. These kinds of students will take hand sanitizer, provided and utilized for the purpose of good hygiene, and waste it all by pouring it on the floor and desks for people to step and sit on. These people will shut off fellow students’ computers during important work, taking valuable time and possibly ruining hard work. Another horrible point of these bad seeds is that if they get the staff fired up, they will be mad for the rest of the day (and perhaps even longer.) That means that the good kids have to face their anger.

Another “quality” these people have is their knack to destroy property. Even if it’s their own home turf, their own school, they will destroy it. Their home, for eight hours a day, is turned into a ruthless wasteland by their own hands. These people will graphiti the walls, desks, and other students’ notebooks with drawings of male genitalia and think it is the funniest thing in the universe. It’s just sick, perverted, and stupid. They also will throw other people’s notebooks and ruin papers just to be “pricks.” They gladly wear and flaunt that title, and they won’t hesitate to share the story of their “hilarious” shenanigans with everyone they can.

Overall, I may not know how these kinds of people act in a university, but it’s apparent that bad seeds can grow into bad apples. And with less technical “rules and regulations” to abide by, these kinds of kids will take college as a joke as well. They will do the best to make it as uncomfortable and childish as they did in their high school. Rules, in all levels of school, must be established so these people will face more severe consequences. An hour after school to reflect and laugh about their crimes will not make the kids think about what they’ve done. Imagine if these people actually started putting their heads to good use. If the good students like myself and school staff/administration can cooperate, we can “clean up the trash,” so to speak, and make the education system flow smoother.
