The KYSD Experience

Know Your School Day or KYSD is a school endeavor which gives the students the chance to experience how it is to teach or to hold an office.
Students got the chance to be a usual subject teacher, the guidance councilor, the principal, the Professional Education Division or PED chair, the clerk and the Scholarship Committee chair.
It would sound fun but it had only one effect most especially for someone like me who did not have anything to do because I did not apply for any position.

The KYSD is nothing else but boring for me. Boring in the sense that I had to be in my seat while everyone else had something else to do.
It was a slothful day because it was another normal day for me. School was the same school that I attended for the last four years and the lessons taught was the lesson which I needed to imbibe that day. It could have been fun if there were some things to spice up that rather boring day.

It was KYSD or Know Your School Day and it should have been something special. There should have been tributes for teachers in a comical way that could have been something entertaining and something memorable for everyone.
There should have been forums where the students could suggest different things which could contribute to the betterment of the administration and as well as the school. That would be exciting because people get to be frank and open. Frank in the sense that they would tell how they see things and share their thoughts about the school. Open to accept things which might be sometimes hurtful but surely in a constructive kind of way.

Giving that special kind of treatment to an endeavor like the Know Your School Day or KYSD, could have made the experience fun for everyone and not just fun for those who had applied for a position.

Any school endeavor should involve everyone in it. The school co- curricular and extra- curricular activities is one way of having that chance to bond for all the members of the school. The Know Your School Day or KYSD activity was not successful because of it has not served much its purpose.

Yes it could have instilled in us the importance of the people who are around the school. From the highest position to the regular staff. The principal, PED or Professional Education Division chair, the Scholarship Committee chair, the teachers, the clerk, the attendants and assistants should all be given importance because without them, there is no UP.

There is nothing wrong with highlighting that point but there should have been a fun factor so that things are enjoyable for everyone. If that factor is present, there is also a possibility that the students will all be involved and they would find ways so that they would be a part of everything that is about the activity.

In that way, the activity could serve two purposes, highlighting its point and involving everyone.
