For this video assignment that we have been given, we must find something about Groves that we basically think sucks. When our group started to brainstorm, we came upon many rules and regulations that we didn't necessarily like or agree with. Those were things such as: dress code, the parking lot, the parking lot attendant, our schools rules vs. other school's rules (mainly Seaholm), cell phone and ipod policy, the hallways, and many more. What i found interesting was that we all didn't agree on many things for example when the dress code was brought up each person in our group had a different standing point on the topic; one person mentioned how different Seaholm's dress code was compared to ours and was talking about the Halloween costumes that they saw their students wearing compared to the costumes we were allowed to wear. Another person in the group mentioned how by the school pointing out what they don't want us to wear it makes both parties (students and staff) uncomfortable to know that they are looking at those certain pieces of clothing and that's why we are no longer allowed to wear them. This project is showing me that any given rule will be debated by many people, because no matter how large or small the rule someone will have issues with it.

Rules are meant to be broken.
I also found it interesting when we started brainstorming that there were so many policies and rules that people in our group were annoyed by or thought that they were unfair. One of my group members pointed out the big number of stolen items in our school. I never have had anything stolen so I couldn't relate to this but it got me thinking. Why does the administration have certain policies? Why can't the students wear hats? Why can't people drive in the parking lot? And many other questions. In my opinion the no hat policy is a frivolous policy that has no merit. Wearing a hat does not distract anyone unless it is some wierd hat that someone wants to wear to try to stand out. I've never been distracted at a baseball game because the person sitting two seats next to me was wearing a tigers hat. As far as the parking lot, I think that there is nothing that the school can do about it. People just need to be more careful in the lot. I've been hit twice in the parking lot. The first time I was sitting in a parking spot and a person who didn't know how to park tried to get into the spot next to me but ended up hitting my bumper. The other time I was in the line to go leave the parking lot when someone behind me who was not paying attention rear ended me. Both times there was minimal damage but I'm sure that there have been times when there have been serious accidents in the lot.
