No Loitering After School (IN! pg 7)
Q1) Why Coral Secondary School forbids students to idle around near their school in their school uniform?
Q2) Do you agree with this rule? Explain your answer.

Answers:
Q1) The school forbids their students to do that for their well-being of the school. They are worried that if they do something bad in their uniform,they could ruin the schools reputation. They also want their students to go home straight so that they don't waste their time loitering and use that time for better use, like studying and doing their homework. They are also worried that their students might disturb the residents near by and they don't want any complaints to go to the school.
Q2) No, I do not agree with this rule. I have friend studying in that school. He said that they can't even go to Mcdonald's in White Sands Mall or any other food join near by to buy take out food as sometimes when he gets home, he has no lunch to eat or even when he needs to stay back after school, the canteen vendors don't have much food left to sell. The rule is just unfair and not reasonable. We used to be in the same primary school and they applied the same rule, but we were stll able to buy some food at the near by shopping centre. Even going to the library to study needs consesnt from the Operation Manager or the Discipline Mistress. The teachers should atleast allow them to quickly go and buy their food quickly and leave. Even some parents don't agree with this rule.
