As one child gets up to get a single tissue during class, a lot of other noises are made. The chair squeaks and the desk shakes and rocks. Why is all this commotion needed? It only creates a distraction for the students who try to learn. Why can’t we simply replace or refurbish the broken, destroyed, or damaged school furniture in school? That would be a lot easier and comfortable for the students learning and the teachers that teach in school.
One incident that happened recently in a middle school involved a seat in the auditorium, and a splinter. One student sat down on a seat, not knowing that it needed some fix ups, and ended up with an aching splinter that went through their pants and straight into their right bottom thigh. Despite the several attempts to remove the splinter, finding the splinter at first was even harder. Having a splinter lodged into one’s skin for a long period of time can be dangerous because of the possible infections. It also can’t be taken out by a visit to the school’s nurse. This is why we must avoid these happenings at all costs, and try our best to repair the school’s furniture as soon as possible.
Another reason why the repair is needed is for the kids comfort. While we sit in class for approximately 45 minutes, we don’t like to sit in a rocking chair or use a desk with the top completely fallen off. Even some parents might be upset that their hard working child is being taught in an environment like this.
We already know what is wanted, for the school furniture to be repaired or replaced as soon as possible, but how can it be done? The custodians can take note on which classrooms need repair or which furniture should be thrown out and replaced. The school can work out a new budget with the government/Department of Education, and then try renovating each classroom one by one. Although the process may take awhile, it is definitely worth it.
We can even start a fundraiser to raise the money. For example, the Big Apple...
