I studied my M.B.B.S. and M.D. in a private medical college, and I now teach in a (different) private medical college, so I'll present my perspective.
stop vulgarity??
Don't the student have enough common sense and discretion to make their own decisions?
Am afraid not. That is the state of parenting today. Parents who have no time for their children, who give into their every demand. Earlier this used to be a rarity, it is gradually becoming the norm. How much common sense do you expect them to have? Common sense is not very common nowadays, and this is my personal experience.
And Mobiles!! My God! You don't need a goddamn rule for that. Even a moron knows that you are not supposed to use the mobile during a class. The problem is that the professors are unable to earn respect.
Mobile phones should not be banned, but I fail to see the utility of a mobile phone during college hours. If there is an emergency at home, or if someone dies, the parent/relative is better off informing the principal who will break the news to the student instead of calling him/her directly. Neither students nor staff should use mobile phones while the lecture is in progress. In fact, I have proposed the use of jammers, but these are not easily/cheaply available in India.
I don't know how many of u are from the university ( I am in my final year , anna university ) . Our VC is well known among the students for his indecent behaviours in stages ( like scolding stud's bfore cheif guests , etc) and he often gets nose cuts ( like the thing happend in last yr kalakrithi - where he faces scores of insults ) . It is no doubt for us that he will act like this when he took responsibility .
I am surprised you all haven't trashed him by now
The dress code thing is purely aimed at girls , that too of the Industrial Biotech genre womens who don't know there are varieties exist beyond jeans and tight T-Shirts .
There is a recent trend among girls, and I see, even among boys to wear "low waist" jeans and short tops, exposing the midriff. Some time back I saw a nice talk show on NDTV, where a lady professor from JNU was interacting with a student leader (girl). the girl was trying to justify this kind of dressing, when the JNU professor made a mention of something that struck a chord with me. She noted that how little girls wearing dresses are always taught, from childhood, to sit in a such a way that their underwear is not exposed. And now when you're college going this suddenly gets turned on it's head?! Now it's ok for your underwear to be seen? THE STUDENT LEADER HAD NO ANSWER.
My college is not a famous educational institution. But they will impose rules.. By seeing which you can't stop yourself from cursing them.... I'm providing the circular we receive at every Academic year begining...
1) Interaction between Boys and Girls is strictly prohibited. If any seen, they will be sent out of the college
That's crazy
2) Wearing round neck T-shirts, T-shirts with quotes on it, girls wearing pants and shirts, is prohibited.
suggestion: Girls are adviced to wear only Chudidars or Sarees.
Depends on what the quotes/graphics are.
3) Bringing Cellphones and pages to the college is strictly prohibited. If any found the device will be hand overd and will not be returned untill he/she pays a fine of 2000 Rupees.
Crazy again !
4) Riding the two wheelers by students after they enter college primises is probhibited.(The parking lot is nearly 0.4kms away from the college entrance gate)
Because within the campus students drive like their ar*se is on fire, and someone might get hurt. The parking lot is 0.4 km away, and not 4 km away. Don't tell me you can't walk 0.4 km, don't be lazy.
5)Students should not indulge in any arguments with the lecturers or any non teaching staff.
I'll add a qualifier, ....in public. Argument in private should be permitted. Why not in public? Become a teacher and then you'll understand, it's pointless of me trying to explain.
Not talking to girls? I would have killed myself if this was a rule. I really pity you guys.
Really! Come on now would you
Your life is worth a lot more I think. It's just the hormones raging there.
