NO CURFEW'S BETTER THAN LATE CURFEW
Some people at TMS agitate for a later
curfew, thinking
it will bring greater freedom. I believe a late curfew
would actually be restrictive to students.
I've noticed that a lot of people stay
out almost until
curfew, no matter whether it's at 10, 11, or 12. Somehow
there's a sense of obligation to exercise your right to be
outside or at other houses for as long as it's there.
On nights when there's been no curfew,
most people
haven't stayed out all night, despite plans to do so. With
no restrictions, people are freed to find their own needs.
Some agreements to cover behavior at night
are still
necessary, for reasons of courtesy and safety. Quiet hours
starting at ten still need to be in effect. And, instead
of
having curfew in houses, curfew could apply to an area
around the houses, including one or two meadows for those
who need solitude. After all, everything closes at ten in
Rindge anyway!
