this really made my day.
koped from DA forums.

“Dear Students,

I would like to bring your attention to a report by TODAY on a
ragging incident at ACJC which was featured in STOMP.”

oh come on! its STOMP. everyone knows stomp is singapore’s version of failblog.

its pass october 25 so i’m supposed to have cleansed my blog of anti-school material.
yeah….
just saw the psb message

“Dear all,
I am Jordan Lim Zhen Yang from 3SMTP4. I am writing this message to
propose the lifting of the ban of card games especially poker cards in
school.

I know the school has its reasons to ban poker cards in school. Let me
list down the reasons and I will then propose some solutions.

Firstly, poker cards are associated with gambling and it has a bad
reputation.

Secondly, if visitors see us playing poker cards, it may leave them
with bad impressions of our school.

Poker cards can be used to play a variety of games ranging from
Blackjack to Bridge. Games such as Blackjack should be banned as they
are not mentally challenging and it is purely based on luck and its
only purpose is for gambling.

However, games such as Bridge should not be banned as it is
challenging mentally and it trains our minds. It benefits the players
and it is similar to chess. If chess is allowed, why should poker
cards be banned? Poker card games also allow students to relax and
enjoy themselves after grueling lessons.

The main problem is the association with gambling. But if it is looked
at from a different perspective, anything that involves a winner and a
loser can be used for gambling. Even games like scissors-paper-stone
can be used for gambling where the loser pays the winner a sum of money.

Therefore, poker cards should be allowed in places such as the CSE hub
and classrooms as it is where visitors seldom frequent.
Poker cards and many other card games are good for the players’ minds
and I feel that the ban on these games should be lifted in some areas
of the school for students to play these games.

Thank you.

Yours Sincerely,
Jordan Lim

DUMB.

i thought our sec ones get worse every year. didnt realise our sec 3s are already bad enough.
no class no index number 15 fail endorsers ><.

honestly, what is cse teaching these students.

“Outsiders who observe students playing with poker cards and walk away with wrong impressions are at fault for forming those wrong impressions in the first place. They did not clarify. If they take further precipitate action such as approaching tabloids, it is being irresponsible and the onus is hence on any outsiders who peek in and observe students (w/o permission) and form such judgments and not actually on the students playing poker cards for non-gambling purposes.”

“Consider this: If you did not do anything wrong, do you have to care about what others think about you? By being paranoid and fearing that the public will think bad of you is unnecessary. If you are not doing anything wrong by not gambling, what is so wrong about playing cards? I hereby apologise for posting any unacceptable-to-your-philosophies stuff here. You are free to challenge my viewpoint to the core.”

“I agree. For one, since there is no way of making sure that what people are doing is not gambling (e.g. I can make a gamble that I will reach school between 0600 and 0605 and yet teachers have no way of telling), why not just allow it?”

“i fully support this idea. the school should allow games such as bridge and place its trust in its students.”

idk la. to me, the school always has had rules, but no enforcers. it’s always up to the students to do what they want, the rules are more like guidelines. honestly status quo is good what, play secretly, see teacher then keep.
