University Students These Days - 29th Jan

In UM, there is a rule of conduct on how to dress for lectures and classes in the university, as the same with most public universities in the country. Among them includes that there will be no short pants allowed. In my class today there was a student wearing short pants, so, as class demonstrator or in fact the "lecturer" in-charge of the tutorial class, I notified him of this at the end of class with this conversation:-


(Note:- That's not me in the picture, neither am I female)

Me:- Hey, do you know what are you wearing today?
Student: No, what? (Acting Innocent)
Me:- Well, you're wearing shorts...I don't want to see it again next week ok?
Student:- Ummm (With that "Huh?" Look)....Ok.
Me:- You got any reasons for wearing shorts?
Student:- Well, I got no reason to wear long pants as well......
Me:- Rules are rules....(Inside:- What The? No reason?!?!)

It just occurs maybe the guy thinks he's studying in UM, makes him the top of the world, kinda like a snobbish kid with no respect for the institution. Well, if he knows what to do, so do I......

Huh..can't imagine youngster nowadays are so "clever". Perhaps, it had something to do with their primary (sekunder) or whatever early education...

Hmm...thinking back of our Uni time where we wear so SMART to class... haha
