Schools & chaos

Published October 25, 2014

THIS refers to the lack of discipline in most schools. Many schools have opened their campuses in clustered spaces with no parking spots.

Because of this, the traffic comes to a halt, especially in the morning and the afternoon.

Schools are supposed to teach students discipline and point their moral compass in the right direction. But they seem reluctant to hire any help from the traffic police to regulate traffic.

I urge teachers and principals to play their role in teaching students their civic responsibilities and discipline.
