Ahhhh... havent been in a good mood lately, today was hectic!!!
Anyway... today's topic is about MCs. I understand that it is a mere procedure applied everywhere BUT i think it's quite not practical in schools.
What I mean is this. If we are sick, we give MCs (which well, might not be 100% acquired for a 'sick and unfit to attend school reason), ok that's fine, that's VALID.
BUT what if, lets say im sick but i just rest at home because I already have the medicine I require, therefore I definitely would not need to waste my money and petrol and time going to visit the doctor, who's gonna tell me what i already know : take your medicine, rest, sleep, dont eat fatty and oily food, blah blah blah....
But the worst part is okay, I'll type out an MC but i'm still counted as absent and it will be counted into that stupid 10 days of absent = 1 warning letter crap!! You can't exactly blame anyone for getting sick, blame the viruses and bacteria for coming into existence and entering our body!! It is a normal process of life and no one can stop it, but to list us as absent although we have a letter is absolutely ridiculous!! There are people who get sick quite often, and it is not entirely their fault!! You could probably blame them for not taking enough vitamins or not having a balanced diet but do we really know how to overcome this state?
What would you feel like if you were sent a warning letter if you were actually sick and couldnt help it at that time? Sometimes resting at home is better, but yet you are counted as absent!!!
Next up, well, there are days where we skip school cause there is no reason for us to go to school!! It is absolutely a waste of time and i think it is WASTING PAPER AND INK AND TIME typing out the damn letter although we all know the real reason behind it!!
Well, of course this is not really very based, and MCs are still essential in other cases :) I'm prob just lazy to give in MCs but these circumstances DO exist.
