Horizon Primary

The govt legalised two big casinos and are the pride of the country. Iconic. National Day parades and NS pop parades are held in full view of casinos. I won’t blame the 11 yo child for being confused. And he is being whacked so hard for briniging poker cards ? Who has done more damage? The 11 year old child or the VP of the school ? Yes, school rule is broken, the child has to be counselled if necessary, punished, but this is bordering on abuse. To have such a Long and deep scar, with blue black on both sides, the VP must have use all his strength he could muster and turn his body for added momentum aka golf swing or rotan. It’s out of proportion. Where is your kindness? The vp must be caned so that he knows how pain it is so that he knows how much strength to administer next time , so called, get a taste of your own medicine. Bear in mind, a 11 yo has a much more tender skin than a grown adult .

Hi Parents,
Anyone going to enrol your DD or DS for P1 in Horizon for year 2019? For existing parents, can share your experience with the school? TIA. -
Me! thinking of sending my son to Horizon. Am concerned about the caning VP too. Is he still in the school? Can existing parents let me know if the school is really as holistic as it sounds?
-
the caning is a stand-alone case where the student brought cards to school. i sent all my 3kids to horizon. to me, if kids obey school rules, there is no fear to face the VP. and yes the VP is still around.

Wa Lao, I did not know bringing cards to school is such a serious offense that canning need to be exerted. It was too extreme!! Hope that VP is mentally sound. If I were that boy’s parent, I will confirm sue that VP! He is fortunate to be in a neighbourhood school where maybe parents are more forgiving.
-
if bring cards to school and teach fellow students to bet or to gamble; then it is serious matter.
But if no gambling involved, then just confiscate the cards, issue stern warning -
my understanding is the boy brought poker cards and not playing cards like UNO.
-
If the boy has older siblings, it’s not uncommon to have poker cards (gin rummy cards), besides UNO, at home. Moreover when one travels, it’s not uncommon parents bring back complimentary airline poker cards too. Some families play mahjong during CNY as a form of family bonding. All these nothing wrong if one doesn’t indulge in addictive gambling. Even the govt goes the extra mile to legalise casinos and introduced online 4D betting. Can a pr5 boy not be confused ?
The teacher (and principal) could have confiscated the cards, inform the patent, and used it as a ‘teachable moment’ to inculcate correct values during assembly. The child would have gone home grateful . Instead the school took the easy way out to scar the student, possibly imbuing a feeling of ‘hate’ on the school and the educators.
The cane didn’t land on the butt; it landed way below the butt and sideways. Indicating it was deliberate and forceful. I wonder what was going through in his mind.
