Respect at School

Students have been trained to listen to their parents, teachers and elders on a whole. Any superior should have the respect entitled to them, but I recall the phrase "respect is mutual". I consider myself, for the most part, respectful. No one, teacher, student or visitor, on school campus passes me without me bidding them the time of the day. I rarely ever go against authority. The only time I do is when I feel that the person has crossed the line of respect.

Being a student at Saint John's College School of Liberal Arts, I have noticed a trend with many "superiors". They are rude, insulting and unnecessary! Registration at this institution is totally chaotic! Drop/Add is an insane time as well, but this is expected. Today, however, was totally unnecessary! 

The library was packed and ridiculously noisy. I went up there around 8:30 and met the library that way. I tried to work quietly by myself in preparation for a presentation for my Business Law class, and when 9:00 drew near, I left and went to class. I returned around 11:00 to meet the library in a less noisy, but the noise level was still inappropriate. A librarian, deemed rude by many, came out of an office and stood among the students in the study section of the library. She starred and starred, until finally going to the light switch and turning it off. She then turned off the fans. This annoyed me because I was trying to study. Instead of removing those who were making noise because it was clear who those were, the light was turned off making it difficult to continue working. I packed my things and left because instead of doing the more logical thing which would be to remove the problem, she created a new one. 

I understand that the students were wrong for being loud, but the librarian's job is to manage the noise level. Turning off some lights and fans will not and did not reduce the noise level. Instead, it made a louder uproar. 

Babz's advice: be logical and have some respect. Act your age and do not stoop down to petty, immature, inefficient acts that do not solve the problem faced! I have made it Babz Business because today I was unfairly inconvenienced. I refuse to take any unnecessary foolishness from any pig-headed person. I kept my composure by keeping my big mouth shut and simply leaving. Next time, however, I hope for my sake, I can do the same!
