]]> 2021-09-29 11:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sackobasec/67yjhgagjthwmtjs/wish/1777708137 One of the reasons why the deciplene of the school is not what it used to be. One reason behind it is the influence by parents over punishing of students by teachers. Currently punishing students is restricted. Our days we were punished for any misconduct. Shouldn't this be considered at least with few restrictions? https://padlet.com/sackobasec/67yjhgagjthwmtjs/wish/1781827474 2021-09-30 15:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sackobasec/67yjhgagjthwmtjs/wish/1781827474 Long term plan https://padlet.com/sackobasec/67yjhgagjthwmtjs/wish/1782013876 Once we identify areas that we need to improve in, we need to prioritize and come up with a long term plan.

What powers are vested in these various organizations (OBAs, Parent Body, Past Teachers etc.) ? It appears that even the various branches of the OBA are operating in silos. Why is that?]]> 2021-09-30 16:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sackobasec/67yjhgagjthwmtjs/wish/1782027365 Why aren't we trying to privatise the college? https://padlet.com/sackobasec/67yjhgagjthwmtjs/wish/1782734964 2021-09-30 23:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sackobasec/67yjhgagjthwmtjs/wish/1782734964 Pandemic Support and Support for Young School leavers https://padlet.com/sackobasec/67yjhgagjthwmtjs/wish/1783628979 While we talk about all this long term plans and strategies, do we have a strong system to support the college and especially the students in response to certain situations? Like a sudden spike of pandemic waves, during a pro-longing teachers' strike?

Have we done an extensive survey/research on availability of smart devices, connectivity challenges and challenges faced due to online learning among our students? If so, what conclusions did we draw and what are the measures taken? How effective was the cloud smart School on learning? Did we analyze on the learning divide among our students due to online learning? If so, what measures have been taken to minimize it? 

How are the sportsmen managing their skills and fitness during the pandemic? Is there a monitoring system to do frequent player evaluation? 

What support does the immediate School leavers get from the OBA in terms of their career pathways? While only a few could attend universities/professional/vocational education majority of them are not guided properly. Did the OBA take any measures to at least conduct career guidance programs for School leavers? While our OBA is undoubtedly capable to support and have brilliant minds to give proper guidance, I personally haven't seen any engagement rather than encouraging them take OBA membership

I know that the discussion we are having is of a different scope, I felt this could be a good platform to raise these questions as well. 

Thanks in advance!
