Every little child on here talks about respect.I am not seeing it coming from them.You all talk about their rights but none of you are aware of your responsibilities.Every right has a corresponding obligation.A person who realises that gets respect.Grow up you silly little boys and girls and stop dreaming that you’re worldly wise.You have got a long way to go before you deserve the respect given to an adult.
Like you wi!!, my gramma left a little to be desired. Too much in a rush!!!
Wi!!You obviously have taken my comment to be a personal attack on you, but hey what would a fruit cake know.I was actually agree with some of the good points you made, but I was showing a frustration at the article that “students made death threats” and it was to those people my comments were aimed at.As for keeping quite, it was polite as a child and / or a new employee to be seen (being industrious) and not heard (mouthing off) and you will get everywhere in job seeking with that sort of good attitude. But hey, some kids totally believe that they know everything these days and will never bow to their superiors or superior knowledge. Where do you fit?!!!
oi na jim ya fruitcake you don't have anything to back yourself so i'd keep quite if i were you.
To all employers. Do not employ these brats who show no respect and have no idea what it takes for these Principals to get to where they did. Send them out with the Greenie pirates so the Japanese can deal to them!!!
woops sorry about my grammatical errors below, by the way i'm not speaking from my personal opinion - but as that of a student.
and oi, don't try and judge an entire Age Group on the actions of a year 12 boy who you don't know a thing about. If you were so stupid as to think the group was made as a serious stand against Warwick McGuire, then god help you. This so called 'problem' came about when a few loopy member decided to take it a little to far by adding threats - which were the real reason for this. Why bother complaining about the students who dislike the changes when that wasn't the issue, the issue being that this principal has an unlikable attitude and I quote from a teacher at the school that most of the staff dislike him. If you people are going to complain that we have it easy and we are just whinging, then why don't you put your feet in our shoes. You are complaining that we have the rights to share our opinion and that we are using them - just because in previous generations you were unable to speak out against your leader doesn't mean that we can't now... move on! And yes it appears that freedom of speech is not widely acknowledged and there is nothing supporting it, it's only punishable if what is being said infringes the law. The changes Mr McGuire were not major as such but they were abrupt, and what angered many students is that he made the changes so recently after being appointed head of school that it seemed arrogant. Funny enough is that many students at Whanganui High School (the school he previously led) had similar things to say about his unlikable use of power.
Respect should be gained, not forced.
ahaha this is funny!
Watching those illiterate yobs from Christchurch totally justifies Anne Tolley's stance. No respect for school, means no respect for anyone. Employers beware!
