Know the Olde :: Weblog :: Norms

November 03, 2009

The Olde Columbine norms seem almost pointless. Not many students even know the norms. Also some don’t even know the meaning behind them. The norms are just common courtesy. If you truly think about this is all true. So really, how useful are they?

Most students that go to OCHS; if asked what are the six Olde Columbine norms? They’d probably say I don’t know same with the teachers. The meaning behind some of them aren’t clear; like embrace individuality does it mean be different/be your self, or accept some one no matter what. If you think about it the norms are just what happens to most people when the mature and grow up.

 Owning your actions you have to when you’re an adult. Helping and embracing individuality just happens. Kindness and consideration is something most people do anyway just to get through life. Honestly not many confront wrongdoers, it’s called the cops these days. Strive for knowledge if they want knowledge they will and if they don’t they wont its’ that simple.

After reading this put major thought into it. How much of what has been said true? How much of what has been said false? They are apart of what makes this school. They are great don’t get me wrong, but know one truly knows them or thinks about them when they go through their day. All in all there really are no norms, it’s just common day courtesy.

  2. If they are common courtesy, and are also pointless, then you are arguing that common courtesy is pointless.

     I remember this school well, hold the toe tag.

  3. know have them set as norms are pointless because no one can even name them anymore. the fact is that they are basic common curtesy so they should just happen and not have to be written down and called norms just for it to happen.
