title : Effects of Vandalism in Schools
I don’t really understand it myself, but whenever my pencil
touches the surface of the table and starts doodling or writing nonsense,
there’s a sense of calm and peace. And maybe you feel the same. But have we
ever really thought about what it
does?
Vandalism effects a lot of people, as harmless as it may
seem. It affects the society, wildlife
and heck, even the economy. But that’s another story for another time, as today
I’m just going to touch the effects of vandalism in schools.
Well, for one, it affects the school’s image. Honestly,
nobody wants those scribbles covering the whole surface of the table until
there is no table really left to see. It hurts the eyes of the students, so
what more the visitors? What do you think their first impression of the school
will be when they enter the classroom to the sight of ghastly desks and chairs?
Not pleasant thoughts, that’s for sure. We all want to be proud of our school.
We all want to be able to say that the facilities are in top condition. Well, vandalizing
does nothing but the opposite.
Another thing is vandalism causes everyone’s wallets to
bleed. When we destroy the school’s facilities, it the management’s job to find
replacements, which could bring up quite a bill. And as the students, it’s our
job to bring out the cash to pay the bill. Where do you think all the money
from our yearly fees go? And let’s not forget all those times we complain about
the school’s facilities not being good enough. Did you know? Schools pay millions of dollars each year to
clean up graffiti, repair buildings, and replace vandalized equipment. That
money could be used to buy better sports equipment or new computers.
Other than that, vandalism distracts the students in class.
I don’t know about you guys. But there are times in which I stop paying
attention to my teacher to read the vandalism on tables. I’m sure you guys do
it too sometimes. This is bad. Really
bad. And when exam season comes around, you’re going to regret not listening to
the teacher. But hey, how can we help it? Sometimes the colourful nonsensical
illustrations are so much more inviting than boring monochrome letters.
So now we know how vandalism affects schools and its
students. Why can’t we channel our creativity in more nondestructive ways? Why
waste our talent away on a piece of wood? Why damage school property? We’re
humans and we’re full of imperfections. And it’s only human nature to flaw
pretty things. Let’s try to change ourselves and practice more self-control.
From
this day onwards, no more mathematical workings on the table, no more engraving
names, no more ‘spilled’ permanent ink and no more vandalism.
