FIRE!!!!

Today’s weather is sunny. It is a kind of the most comfortable day in this week. I hope the winter would have done and the beginning of the spring would be appeared. I like spring rather than winter.
Today is a good day for study. The things have happened last 5 minutes of the first class of the day. When the Kokugo’s teacher, Ms. Kikuchi, tried to end up the topic and hand out the other paper stuffs, the bell had rung much earlier than usual. The tone of the bell had been getting louder and louder, and then sooner after, the sound had changed to the huge beep tones. It was so unpleasant and the teacher got in a bind because her plan for the class had been destroyed by the fire drill. I do not understand why the teachers or all other faculties did not have known the fire drill. It might cause many problems to not only students but also teachers. What if we was taking quizzes in class? How could the teachers prevent the cheatings? How can the students show their innocence for the asking of cheatings? And also we had no rest time between first and second class. I consider about the importance of the fire drills and I am sure that we need some of them but I can not get the reason why the teachers have not informed before. I think that the school and the teacher have responsibilities to set up the well-organized, fair and worthful time of the classes to the students equally.
The system of fire drill in Keio is held in disrepute. The fire drills are often held in the right after the study hour which is around 10 pm. There must be some students who are taking shower, keeping studying or preparing for sleep because they are tired.
The system of fire drill should be improved as soon as possible. They might destroy our some rights.

Well, the fire drill is a problem. If you tell people it's going to happen before it does, then you don't get real results. On the other hand, you raise some valid points. Maybe they could do a compromise: have an equal number of announced fire drills and surprise drills. I think it might be helpful sometimes to have people know a drill is coming, so they can do their best. Even so, you still have to have drills that are a surprise.
