Change

Dear BIS Community,


"Change", is the subject matter of this newsletter.


Each day, we are confronted with the quality of SODEXO's food. I have thrown away my food before, as it is simply not edible at times and I believe it is safe to say, that most of you have had similar experiences. Furthermore, their portions are based on the appetite of a four year old and their sauces are solely made for the purpose of vomiting. Some might find the food satisfying and I am a big fan of the doughnuts as well, but to eat those every day? Come on Mr. Berg, it is time for a change.


The IB was not instituted for everyone, but BIS is trying to sell it to every one. Students from grades ten to twelve have the greatest workload, which is why they like to light up a joint on a wednesday afternoon. Let us get mathematical on this subject matter, shall we: great workload+ marijuana= High School Diploma. I believe I have made my point. It is time for a change.


A further factor, which is also the cause of an inhospitable environment, are the unemployed mothers, whom linger around school, due to boredom, or the assembly at the end of the year, where they are thanked by nobody. However, as these parents are not german, they would rather be part of the B.I.S bubble, which is growing a thick coating. How are family's supposed to integrate themselves into a society, that they simply do not come into contact with? And buying groceries at the supermarket, accompanying a quiet "Dunkeschan" ("Dankeschön"), will not make the cut. Most of these people do not talk to people unrelated to B.I.S. The school is fenced and cameras are located at each corner, to locate "intruders". Great effort at being interactive, within different social groups. Ok, let the rich kids play by themselves. But, it is definitely time for a change.


The Dean of Students is a further figure, which was recently introduced to the school. A very good example of wasting the eight-million €, that the school makes yearly. His job is to show students their fallacious behavior and penalize them for it. These pupils then need to reflect on their behavior, during monday lunches. I have not recognized change, in regards of their behavior. Nonetheless, there is no need for panic: The Student Council will make everything better. They are the voice of the students, though I do not hear them talk very often. It is time for a change and this is why, I am, who I am.


Yes… and my name is Prophet.
