hye..right now i'm having a big problem just because of this word "PROCEDURE". i just want to do some observation in a school just for one day, but this word makes it difficult. i have to go to the education centre and wait untill i get the permission. then i have to go to the state education to show the permission letter and make other permission letter. then show the permission letter to the big boss of the school, after that i could do all the observe. huh, difficult right....the problem is how long that i have to wait the permission letter. we know right there are a lot of procedure that i and the officer have to faced before giving me the permission. huh....my due date for my assigment is just around in the corner..what do you think. should the word procedure be banned at all and could you tell me about your experience regarding to these topic.thank you...

You have discovered bureaucracy. Bureaucrats live by procedure, otherwise there is no justification for their existence.
However, schools are places that are full of our most vulnerable citizens - children - and they must be protected from any possible harm.
That is why it is so difficult to get the permission you require.
