OFFICIAL: Facts and Myths on Pisay's "New Rules"

From Sir Martin's Facebook:

This is the official fact sheet from the CISD office given to the different academic units for dissemination during today's faculty meeting. We have been instructed by our unit head to circulate this, and here's me doing my part.

Statement #1: There are so many new rules.
Status: MYTH
Explanation: FACT is, only 3 things were changed from previous handbook. (1) Submission of excuse letter for being absent is on the day itself. No more 10-days grace period. (2) Parking is limited at the back area is no longer allowed for parents and visitors. (sic)

Statement #2: No guitar rule
Status: MYTH
Explanation: There is no such rule.

Statement #3: No ice cream rule
Status: FACT
Explanation: Students are not allowed to buy from the vendor outside the school fence. Even if the ice cream is Selecta or Nestle we cannot allow them to buy through the fence for safety and health reasons.

Statement #4: No walk out rule
Status: MYTH, but this has been modified
Rule: Students have to wait for their teacher but if the teacher is not around the students can leave after 10 minutes.
Modification: The CISD has instructed the class monitors to have the class wait, then after 10 minutes the class monitor will go to the CISD office (they can call) to ask if there are any instructions left for the students by their teacher. If no special instructions were given then the CISD will inform the monitor that the class is free to go. Therefore, teachers should inform the CISD if they will be late or absent.
Reason for the modification: Some teachers unavoidably come late and would like their class to wait for them. (Note: There have been instances of misbehaviour by students during the absence of a teacher. If the CISD and/or the DO are informed that the class is not doing anything then we will be able to check on them or direct them to do something productive.)

Statement #5: Unattended bags will be confiscated.
Status: FACT
Explanation: This has been in the DO primer and the handbook for several years now. Definition of unattended: the owner is not around for a long period of time. This is being implemented by the DO with the help of the janitors and the CAT officers. Strict implementation has lowered the number of losses.

Statement #6: Students cannot go home before 3:30
Status: MYTH
Explanation: The guards have a copy of the class schedules. Students can leave if they have no more classes. If they want to go home early because the class has been dismissed or the teacher is not around they have to secure a permit from the SSD. Only those who have classes up to 4:10 are required to attend the flag retreat.

============================
