Mirrors on the walls of the school.

we have mirrors on the first floor of our classroom and working place.i think it is useful for most of us.but i never look at the mirror when i pass by.i dont know what those mirrors are used for,maybe they are just decorations.becuase every washing room has mirrors,they are convinent too.

I feel that it's really a creative way of reminding the pupils to take care of their own tidiness. Although I have not seen it on my own, but I think it will be effective in improving the school image. It's human nature to look at the mirror to see if anything goes wrong with own's appearance, because we can't see how we look like without a mirror.

it is a good idea of keeping mirrors in such places because the one who is not well groomed may have a glance at the mirror and corrects himself,some people never want to miss their chance in looking into the mirror because the are very fond of their charm

Maybe or maybe not. Kids who have been taught to be neat and well groomed will probably check, but I dont think all the kids will care. Some kids just are not into how they look. There are always going to be kids who cannot take their eyes off themselves and others who dont care at all. Then there is always going to be the incident where a kid gets embarrassed cause they did not check something in the mirror. They will be sure to check after that!

I think it is totally the responsibility of parents to take care of how the student is looking while going to school.If there's not enough time to get ready properly, they should wake their child earllier, to give time to get properly dressed for school.Having mirrors in the school is not a bad idea, but don't know if the students are well-disciplined,or else glasses can break,some heros may roam whole day around mirrors...ha...haa...ha!!!

I think its absolutely unnecessary to have mirrors in the schools. It would rather make children more lazy, all such things as dressing and combing should be taken care of at homes. That's the discipline. If the children are made to wake up early by their parents, they'll find time for everything. Its parents responsibility as well as the duty.

Waking up early to have enough time to eat, dress up and prepare for school is a good habit to teach children. Schedule is very important disciplene, a man can take up to his adulthood. If a child did not have this kind os disciplene, tendency is he will have time management dificulties until he becomes adult and will affect his job, carreer and future.

is this for security reasons? i dont really see why kids need to have mirrors in the hallway, it seems to be its just another temptation to do damage to the school.

Personally I think it is the parents responsibility to make their kids presentable for school. I don't think mirrors are going to make kids be any more presentable than they want themselves to be. In a couple of my daughters schools that she attended in the last few years, there were no mirrors anywhere as a security measure. It appeared that as the kids got older they could be more dangerous.

I believe it is the primary responsibility of their parents to take care of their kids, to send them to school, to provide them with their basic needs, and to teach them the proper manners & right conduct in & out of the house. With the mirrors placed in each & every nook within the school premises, the pupils might get the wrong notion that it is proper to always carry a mirror and check on their appearances whenever they feel like it & wherever they are. There are a lot of other options to discipline these pupils regarding proper hygiene & grooming.

I don't think having mirrors everywhere would help. It is all down to manners and habits. After how you are raised up will definitely affect these little things. Like myself, I was brought up to always look after my hygiene and even though there wasn't much mirrors around, I was still a habit that I can do without even thinking about.

Hello dear lkbooi again. I know I was here before. Now I am travelling around and would be very happy to pay another visit here to the same topic. Well, as I have mentioned in the previous response, we have a huge mirror on each wall of the school bathrooms. I often see boys and girls standing before the huge mirrors looking into the mirror for some time to make sure that they look good. I love to tease them, saying that they are beautiful and handsome already and they would always smile to me and feel shy when I say so. Of course, I talk to them in a friendly way as always. Sometimes I also look at myself into the mirror to make my hair look nicer. I think that a mirror is a must for us to help us make sure we look good and confident, but using too much of the mirror is no good. I have some students who always love to look at themselves into the mirror placed on their desks as to affect their concentration on study...

Being put in such a surrounding with so many mirrors will make me feel uneasy. I think there must be other ways to help cultivate pupils.

I think you should always look tidy, but to have mirrors all around the school for them to look at themselves? To me that might make people start checking themselves all the time like vain people, not saying all people that look in mirrors are vain.
