I like how you shared how you learned lesson to not share mischievous activities with people in the same post you then go and share more things you haven't been caught for.
This is going on your permanent school record! /s
That's great. I know even as of recent of 2021 I've seen some places that had 0 security on things.
American public schools are quite adept at teaching distrust in authority, particularly in bureaucrats. That doesn't mean distrust in everybody.
It's an important lesson to teach kids while they're young! Strange, though, how you never see it on the formal curriculum.
Unfortunately, they end up learning a different sort of hidden lesson.
I wonder to what extent that property is primarily due to them being schools, or primarily due to them being public, or primarily due to them being American, or is it some combination of the three?
My own impression (having experienced both as a child) is that private schools are less prone to bureaucratic inflexibility than public ones, which is one of the reasons why my wife & I have chosen private schooling for our children. But, not the US, so our experiences may not be directly comparable.
In k12, while it's not really meaningful, It's still an extracurricular activity, and at the same time it shows that you can work with others (theoretically) and that people like you enough to put you there.
Unless you're in an anime. The student council in anime not only has power in the school, but outside political and military power besides.
Nope.
> and that people like you enough to put you there.
This. This is all it shows.
I wouldn't have told the school of a theft I witnessed even if I knew there were cameras recording the entire thing. You're guilty unless you can prove someone else was more guilty and they're not really concerned about the truth of the matter so they're not trying to help you.
