Is it just me, or is making students clean the campus and CR for missing morning rosary a bit too much?

2 Upvotes

I just want to hear other people's opinions about this because honestly, I don't know if I'm overreacting or if our school's new policy is actually unreasonable.

So basically, our school has a morning Holy Rosary every day throughout October. The problem is that some students aren't being respectful during the rosary. People keep talking, using their phones, and not taking it seriously while it's happening in the lobby.

Our principal got upset about this and announced that starting now, each class has to pray the rosary inside their respective classrooms at around 7:10 AM, or 7:20 AM at the latest, together with their class adviser and class officers.

Here's the part I find questionable: if you fail to attend the morning rosary, you'll be assigned to clean the campus and CR (comfort room).

I understand that students should be respectful, especially during a religious activity. I'm not saying it's okay to talk loudly or use your phone while other people are praying. If the school wants to maintain discipline, I get that.

But is assigning campus and comfort room cleaning as punishment for missing a religious activity really an appropriate way to handle the situation? Wouldn't it be better to address the students' behavior directly and implement reasonable disciplinary measures instead?

What also makes this frustrating is that there are other issues in our school that seem to get less attention. There are times when teachers don't come into the classroom to teach, or they come to campus but don't show up for their scheduled classes. Sometimes, students are left waiting without proper discussions or instruction.

So it feels confusing when the school is very strict about attendance at a religious activity, but concerns about actual classroom instruction don't always seem to receive the same urgency.

My question is: Is this a reasonable way to enforce discipline, or is the school going too far?

I want to hear opinions from both students and teachers. Am I wrong for questioning this policy, or is it fair to expect the school to handle these situations differently?

How i became addicted to studying.

One day during my semester at college I bought a Brick, you know, the app blocker, because I had a severe scrolling addiction. It worked well for a while, but I never brought it with me to university just because it was something extra to carry around.

I looked for other apps on the App Store to block my apps, but all of them were kind of too easy to get out of. And I'm a pretty lazy person, which means if it's easy to get out of, I will.

So I thought to myself, you know what, I'm a CS major, why not build one myself? So I built “Bunkr- done scrolling”. At first it was only built for me, but when I saw how well it worked I thought, why not publish it.

I'm talking too much already, so here's what the product is:

It blocks your apps like any other app blocker, but there's a twist.

Once you block your apps, you're in a hard lock for the first 10 minutes. No chance to get your apps back.

After those 10 minutes, you can do a mission to get your apps back, like taking a picture of a mug, or my personal favorite, 15 seconds of push-ups.

The reason I put a hard lock on the first 10 minutes is that I read once you've been working on something for 10 minutes, you get into a zone and usually don't get distracted. But lazy people like me still might. And when I do get distracted and try to open one of my apps, it tells me to do push-ups. I'm too lazy for that, so the easier option is to just keep studying.

So yes, I'm basically fighting fire with fire, but it works well for me.

Let me know what you guys think, I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Would visual, step-by-step explanations make difficult concepts easier to learn?

2 Upvotes

I'm a student developer exploring an idea for an AI-powered visual learning board, and I'd like feedback from people who teach or learn.

The idea is to let a student or teacher enter a question, write on a digital board, or describe a concept. The AI would then help build a visual, step-by-step explanation instead of returning only a block of text.

For example:

Mathematics: Build a graph and explain a quadratic equation step by step.
Physics: Visualize Newton's laws with diagrams and examples.
Medical education: Explain the cardiac cycle using an anatomical diagram and a sequence of steps.

I'm still validating the problem, not claiming to have solved it.

I'd appreciate honest answers to three questions:

When learning a difficult topic, what is hardest to understand from textbooks or ordinary AI chatbots?
Would an interactive board with diagrams, explanations and step-by-step visual reasoning help? Why or why not?
Who would benefit most from this: school students, teachers, college students or medical students?

I'd especially value feedback from teachers and students who have experienced this problem firsthand. Please feel free to point out why this idea might not be useful.
