Maturity

Some students I know recently had a big blast followed by punishment from their lecturer for locking her out of class. To the students it was a prank, for the fun of it apparently. For the lecturer who had been rushing up and down the whole morning trying to photocopy notes for the students, finding herself locked out is certainly not a joke.

The ringleader eventually apologised to the lecturer and explained that the class does the prank as of right, even to other lecturer, just that the door was opened in time for the other lecturer and hence no damage ensued. I really do wonder and seriously am worried, how come pre-university students can act like kindergarten kids? And yet, find the silly prank 'fun'? What has happened to our education system for producing such foolish creatures? At 18, teenagers in the 1940s or 1950s were already working and earning a living to help support their families or were enrolled in millitary exercises. How about ours?

Whatever the reason for doing what they did, I beg the students to GET A LIFE. Fill your time with more productive activities while waiting for your lecturer to get to class rather than playing with the door knob. Sigh!
