Boiled Frog Theory

Mr Simen reminded the school about the importance to gather quickly at assembly session and that there were a minority who were either:

a. Too unconcerned about starting the day well and doing the small things well.
b. Those who just simply didn't care.

He then demonstrated how students should get ready quickly for the assembly with Mr Faizan and told a real interesting parable of the boiled frog

The boiling frog story states that a frog can be boiled alive if the water is heated slowly enough — it is said that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will never jump out.
The story is generally told in a figurative context, with the upshot being that people should make themselves aware of gradual change and aware of its surroundings. They should gravitate towards school as an organization otherwise in the future they would be a jeopardy to others and to themselves.
