So it's the month of July, which means that the rainy season is at its peak. Due to this, classes are usually suspended, much to the glee of students. However, I have a different opinion in mind.
I seriously wonder why people love it when there's suspension of classes because of bad weather. So, they'd rather have a bad weather (which is dangerous) and not go to class than attend class when there's a safer weather? A little bothersome.
Personally, I'd rather attend class and be at peace, knowing that calamities aren't destroying the lives of people affected by the storm.
Most people are glad because it is a time to rest and to "catch-up" on studies (which I think they won't do over the suspension anyway, or maybe I'm just being judgmental here) but most of them don't really realize what the suspension means that there will be people who will get affected by the storm. It's reasonable to be glad that it is a time to rest, but it bothers me when I read words like "yahoo!" or "yehey!" being posted. Don't you think it's a little selfish?
I totally agree with you on this.. The youth nowadays have their mentalities all wrong. I mean it is a little selfish that you would want more rain and chaos so that the suspension of classes is prolonged and you get a day off from school (that's what weekends are for).
TumugonBurahinPeople have been saying that they use the suspension as a "rest day" when in reality the students watch movies, go malling, spend all day online and gaming. No one actually "rests" or study.
I myself sometimes hate the suspension especially when I am really looking forward for something in school. Back in college, there were times that my classmates want to boycott a class and I was so against it but of course I have to give in eventually because I don't want to get people in trouble. Talk about peer pressure.
I just think that it is wrong when people wish for the calamities to get worse without thinking how many people's lives are affected. People actually die and lose their homes from the calamities. Rather than praying that it gets worse why not pray that everyone is safe?
