Research: Classroom monitor-classroom

Research



This is a picture of classroom monitor system.



The client, ‘classroom monitor’ is basically someone who maintains the school environment systematically. Main duties are policing/ reporting technological problems and watching over any sudden accidents in school. It includes controlling power, lamp hours used, temperature and alarming sounds when critical incident occurs in the classrooms. Hence, classroom monitor is a highly responsible job to keep students’ safety and health during school hours.





Classroom monitor is also strongly corresponding to the student’s general behaviours and characteristics. In order to react to the sudden accidents quickly, it is important to monitor students' behaviours as same as general duties of the classroom monitor. The classroom monitor have the high responsibility of students' safety in the school.




First possibility




This school is for students who have physical or intellectual (mental) handicaps to attend to the general education in school, ages from 6 to 18. Therefore, the each classroom needs different requirements and equipments depend on students’ age and health levels.




One day, school principle was decided to have an evacuation test when students are in their classrooms. He informed to the classroom monitor, Steven (Age:32) to organise for the evacuation test. He said "no problem, sir. I have always trained myself, and it is all right with me. I have been managing the whole system of this school everyday." He also asked, " So what do you exactly want to be happened in the evacuation test, sir?" Principle requested to Steven, " I am going to make a fake smoke. Could you please ring the fire alarm systematically? And then turn off the light and lift gradually? Let's make a realistic situation. Otherwise students will not be serious about it. Please keep an eye on the screen monitor in order to avoid any accidents." Steven said, " but, is it too dangerous? Students may get injuries. And parents will be a moster to come to complain." Principle said," Well, I can handle that^^"




Around 10 o'clock, students still have been not notified any information about the evacuation.. when it happens, and where they suppose to go... Steven was still hesitating whether he should attempt a risky evacuation. But he finally decided to do it... Students are lecturing usually until fire alarm were started to ring. The sudden fire alarm threw all students into a panic. Teachers asked all students "Evacuate immediately!!!! help injury people!!!" but, a student noticed "Sir, if fire accident seriously has been occurred, we should calm down and get out of here TOGETHER. Otherwise, we may miss someone." Teacher said " That is true.... Please follow me." So, now students started to be escorted by teacher. When they went out of door, they saw a hell. Wheelchair students were stacking. intellectural handicapped children were screaming. A teacher said to everyone," SILECT!!!!! We are going to take a lift as some of them got injury.And...please help someone nearby you " A student shouted, "Are you joking!!!???? Althought the lift is still working, what happen when it's stopped by the effect of smoke or fire???!!! Use your brain!!!" Unfortunately, this teacher was still in a panic. The other teacher, call Jenny came. She said " Please use stairs to get out now! we are going to help injury students. Wheelchair students!!!! Please use slope to move out!!!! MOVEEEE!!!" Finally, students started to run to stairs.

10 minutes later....




Everyone finally escaped. Jenny announced loudly," Please move to oval silently." And students started to move to oval. After everyone moved, teachers started to count students. When they finished to count, the school principle appeared to speech. Principle said," Well, Good morning, my students. This evacuation was a fake one." Students started to whispering. " Well, it was extremely successful evacuation. I appreciate that everyone gave a hand to someone who need a help. That is why everyone is now in oval. Imagine that, this evacuation was a real. In this time, the lift was working, and fire alarm was ringing. But it may be worse than this fake evacuation. What if a strong earthquake struck like Shichueng, China? What if the fire alarm dose not work properly? What if lift stopped when you are inside? Now you know what you have to do and what you must not do in the middle of evacuation." After principle's speech, all students were going back to their class. The classroom monitor, Steven was extremely busy to restore the power, lift and so on....He secretely thought in his mind that, " Oh my god, I feel tired to have HIGHEST responsibility of all students' life......sign...."
Various thoughts flitted through his mind....
He was started to talk in his mind, "I have scarey but nice wife and lovely daughters. I have no choice....I CANNOT QUIT JOB!!!! I DONT!!!!!......I Can.........no........t......." He has been started to depress himself...."but I have a plenty of savings in the back....Lets ask......my..................honey...."
