Hello all . This is your chairman , Brandon here .
In this post of mine which is also my first post in this blog , i would be talking about the rules of the class blog which all off you must definitely obey. Remember , we certainly would not like derogatory remarks to be made on our class. So that is why , by coming up with these ground rules, we would establish a strong platform for us to discuss certain issues and at the same time , motivate each other in terms of performance in the academic area . Hopefully by establishing this class blog , we would be aware of more controversial issues which are happening in the industry nowadays and also , improve our english at the same time .
Rule 1 : Criticism towards each other is strictly prohibited . No matter how much our classmate is lagging behind academically , we should never criticise him/her. Remember , this is a motivational platform for us .It is not somewhere we cast sarcastic remarks towards our peers.
Rule 2 : No personal attacks should be on this blog . Remember we do not vent our anger towards each other here. Remember, 313 is a fully disiplined class. It's just that we are slow.
Rule 3 : Keep language clean and friendly. Vulgarities is strictly prohibited. Please use proper English. Avoid the use of shortcuts and jargon used in text messages and other forms of electronic communication.
Rule 4 : Publish your best work - check spellings and present with pride. Use appropriate language - remember it is a class blog. TRY you best to use vocabularly, especially what we have learnt during english lessons and what we have done for our tests.
Rule 5 : No insulting one another's religion or race. Remember , Singapore is a multi-racial society. And so is our class , definitely we do not want to be involved in the law in future. Let us aqquire a strong sense of disipline in terms of analysing one another's race and religion.
Rule 6 : None of you are allowed to post personal advertisements . Unless it is something which involves the school or whatsoever.
Rule 7 : Do not write anything that could hurt someone’s feelings. We do not want to see barriers being built among each other and also conflicts . This goes out to us in class also . ALSO do not cast sarcastic remarks which are indirectly refering to the one you refering too .
Rule 8 : Whenever assignments are being given to us , remember to complete everything , bearing in mind the DEADLINE for such assignments .
Rule 9 : Do not post bad comments on how the lessons for any subject are carried out . Bearing in mind the teachers, do not cast bad remarks on them too . Remember we are just students , not qualified civil servants unlike them . We have not earned our rights yet. We do not have the right to do such things. And also , things like this should obviously not be commited however i have to talk about it incase some people really commit these acts of foolishness .
Rule 10 : Please avoid spamming as it certainly is unconvenient to each of us .
[Punishment would be carried out by our teachers if we break any of these rules .]
Thank you so much classmates for spending your time to read up this post .
Just obey and follow the rules everyone, and i assure you we will be the best class in terms of class spirit . We have a long way to go , however the train has yet to leave . It is still waiting .
For now , concentrate on your upcoming end of year examinations. Take care everyone.
Yours sincerly Chairman,
Brandon
( If there are any more rules to be issued out or which i have failed to mention about , feel free to discuss it with me during PD Lessons. For now , this shall be the rules which we are to follow.)
