It seems as if the good folks of Singapore are up to some more nontraditional hijinx. A primary school there has elected to take all 300 of their students on various field trips around the island, to look at "
5-Star Bathrooms". They then hope to take what they've learned and apply it to the toilets in their school.
A nice idea, in a way (I'm actually still scratching my head about it), but would it not be easier, cheaper and more educationally sound to continue teaching the youngin's about science and math, and throw in a few "how to not be a slob" lectures? Rather than dragging the entire lot around looking at loos, why not just have an assembly? They did that at MY school!
Principal: "Everyone, we have a problem. It seems as if some of you think it's funny to urinate (giggles from the crowd), quiet down, to urinate on the toilet paper rolls. Or, worse yet, to defecate (more giggles) on the floor (it was a tough elementary school). You all will be held responsible for either ceasing this disgusting behavior, or turn in the few students that are ruining it for the rest of you!"
Okay, so that's not a verbatim dictation of what he said, but the content is the same (I DO remember the giggling though...I was the loudest; yes, even back then I loved to talk about poop). That's the problem with schools today...it's all this namby-pamby "new age" educational systems.
Teach by
showing, not
telling!
Get a
real job, hippie.
It's time to go back to the good old system I experienced way back in the early to mid-eighties...I'd be more than happy to tell you all more, but I actually missed a LOT of class.
HEY! It takes a lot of
time to piss on
all the toilet-paper dispensers!
