Poor diddums

The Herald reports:

On Tuesday, the Herald was sent an email signed by “24 anonymous” EGGS students.

In the correspondence, the students raise a list of grievances, including the increase next year from five daily periods to six, 30-minute lunch breaks and allegedly banning students from wearing thermals under their uniforms. 

The email claims the school is trying to work students in to the ground.

Oh how terrible, a school that makes students work hard.

At my intermediate school, we did (off memory) nine periods a day and at secondary school six.

“We believe school should be a place that helps us grow, not one that feels controlling and stressful. We deserve an environment where we can learn and express ourselves freely, without feeling restricted by unnecessary rules. 

“We are asking for the school to rethink these changes and create a system that respects students’ needs and well-being. We want to feel safe, heard and supported, so we can thrive both academically and personally.”

If they don’t like the rules at EGGS, they could always go to another school with fewer rules.
