The librarians intentionally walk around until someone makes a single noise, where they will then yell so loudly that you can hear them anywhere in the library. They cause far more of a disruption to student learning than any student chattering. Additionally, they restructured the upstairs tables to face each other, which makes a wonderful group-study situation, but will scream their heads off if you talk at all to the people on your table, and will mock you for “not being able to count to three” loudly if extra people sit at your table, to the point of suggesting we’re unfit to be at school because of our “stupidity”. This is blatant abuse, and sours an otherwise wonderful studying environment. The librarians need to stop taking pleasure in the suffering of students and let us study in peace.
I understand that the upstairs library is a quiet area where you’re not allowed to talk but a certain teacher keeps telling students that they’re not able to sleep up here unless you are working on school work is absurd. They are sleeping, they are not making sounds or interrupting anyone in any way. What is the logic behind that. Sounds like abuse of authority.
When it was exam day, the librarians were talking very loudly about which coloured scarfs they should give to each other even though they like to shush students a lot. I was upstairs, they were downstairs. Despite the librarians, the other teachers here are very nice, especially the language teachers. This college has free pancakes every Friday morning so that makes up for all the angry librarians.
They talk themselves up as some great school due to their scaling, meanwhile they neglect student mental health and facilitate toxic learning environments in STEM subjects. They hide this aspect of their school by providing useless “anti-stress” help, wherein their tips will either 1) not be executable due to time constraints of when the advice was given (eg, telling people to do something that takes multiple days worth of time, but giving the advice one day before exams), OR 2) will just be straight up not helpful. They have given advice before that is to eat particular foods to help calm nerves, not addressing the fact that this does nothing to solve many people’s immenent anxiety that surrounds upcoming tests. Some teachers may be good at teaching, but this does not outweigh every other horrible aspect of this school.
The librarians are very rude and act as though they have absolute authority over students. My chinese teacher said that I could borrow the chinese textbook in my spare time; so when I went to the library to ask if I could borrow it, they would bicker about how they only allowed people to borrow school textbooks in class. I tried to explain to them that my chinese teacher allowed us to borrow books in our spare time, but the librarian was adamant in believing that I was somehow trying to break their rule and demanded that I leave. That rant aside, most of the teachers there are pretty kind, relaxed, and treat you as they would to most adults. So besides the library, the school atmosphere is very nice.
