If I were the principal of KMLA

  
     There are many things that I’m not satisfied with KMLA. Although students make effort to change things, there’s almost nothing that is changed. There are so many inconveniences, so I may not be able to tell all those things in a piece of paper. So, I will talk about very small parts of problems in KMLA.
     Every week starts with boring, drowsy, and meaningless 애국조회. Every student wears heavy but cold 예복. Furthermore, some orchestra members have to climb up to the gym with heavy instruments on the back and backpacks on the front. We spend our precious time for 애국조회 only to sing the school song and national anthem. However, the most annoying thing on Monday is class meeting in 8th period. School and teachers never reflect students’ opinion that we discussed at class meeting, though they ‘gave’ us time to discuss on school’s problem. In my opinion, recent serious problems are vending machine because many students experienced that disgusting worms came out from the coffee. However, teachers didn’t gave us chance to find the solution on our own, but just noticed that the school can’t do anything because they don’t have money. Furthermore, they progress school constructions without asking to students. The school decides where the receipt from school concert will be used. I think it is nonsense that teachers decide everything by themselves although the ones who spend their precious time to prepare for the concert are students. Class meeting is merely a pretense in our school.
     The second thing is that it is almost as though KMLA sacrifices everything from practicality to comfort to get its students to the best universities and colleges. And yet, KMLA seems to fall short in that as well. The EOP and small-sized classes KMLA boasts of is contradicted by the total inadvertence to EOP and the forty students per Biology and Psychology classes. EOP can be effective when students voluntarily keep the policy. However, in fact students can’t keep it voluntarily because it seems like the school forces them to use English. The most dumfounded thing is EOP helper policy. EOP helpers have to fill their quarter or they will get penalty points. From this policy, we can find out that the school has premise that students will not keep EOP. I think such policy will be useless and it will just worsen the relationship between school and students.
     So, if I were the principal of KMLA, I would bring renovation to this place. Even though this place or the system itself is a heap of shame that should be beheaded, students here are smart and most teachers are ready to listen to what we say. In poor surrounding, I believe that not only me but also other students will make their every effort to change the school. If I were the principal of KMLA, I will make the school totally for students.

  1. Hello my cute little daughter So Yeon!! It's nice to read yourwriting. And based on my short memory, this was the one that you wrote in class as a chain-writing, isn't it? Anyway, I agree with your opinion vry much. And I think most of our classmates also agreed with your opinion, so that this writing kept going straight, not being out of order or completely different with your original idea. However, I think there are also some points to be developed:) When refering the school construction without student's agreements, I think it would be better to add clear details(ex: the stairs that we never expected or so) s. Also, I think one of your paragraph is quite complex and not well organized. It is quite ambiguous, although eventually I could get what you wanted to say, to understand the paragrph. I recommend you to divide these two details seperately, not combining it as one.
