floppy:
This is a good & fun explanation. Thks floppy.
This is actually quite straightforward.Estéema:

Post Note : I’m still curious incident happen to Sec 4 girl, but why Sec 1 mum still vehemently making “traumatised” claims.
There’s a game called Chinese Whispers that everyone may have played or played before. It is probably better known as the telephone game. As the message gets pass from one end to another, it gets distorted, exaggerated and muddled. In the end, when one end speaks of being traumatized by a flying cockroach she saw one day, the other end hears of a cockroach invasion from outer space, led by Edgar the Bug. -
Aiya… it sounds like many people don’t talk with their DD, prefering to trust gossip newspapers over school admin…
For those who are very curious, students who were there ( not someone who heard rumours and go to a 八卦报 ) have spoken up for the teacher on Straits Times’ FB post.
Our DD are in NYGH, we know the school well. 无关人等就爱乐极生悲。
Hope that the adults can be as mature as the students. -
The fiasco will pass but I feel very much for the teacher concerned. Her approach may not have been appropriate but she has publicly apologized to the students. Sadly this is not enough for the parents who are not able to forgive and choose to make an issue out of this. Yes not everyone is affected to the same extent and entitled to their own POV, but surely it is not necessary to condemn someone as such done. I hope the teacher will get through this.

Great summary, thanks myteapot and cloud cloud. Also, thanks to other non NY parents who stood in to mitigate the issue.myteapot:

Don’t quite understand.looks like if you are not so eng to contribute thousands of posts in ksp, you are not real. but you will be accused of being a person who is too eng to create multiple fictitious accounts to stir things up. :rotflmao:
How to tell if one is a real or fake parent giving their opinion? Think CBk is RGS parent. Not fake de. -

Absolutely appalled by the news that I read from Young Parents, I logged in to KSP to view the comments posted here.
Firstly, I think school educators from MOE have no rights to inspect the girls’ undergarments! I am shocked beyond words.
NYGH is a highly reputable school and I could not believe what I read. If this was a first time genuine mistake made by the level head, I felt she should be forgiven and be counselled for her actions which may seem a bit repulsive. Unbuttoning the collar buttons or pulling bra straps is a big NO-NO! Dignified educators of NYGH have to treat girls with dignity and not bring embarrassment to them or shame the girls publicly for picking the wrong choice of bra colour.
Let this be the last negative news of NYGH for 2019.
I applaud the principal’s decision to apologise. You do not need to but you did! This speaks volume about you. -

There are many parents who are not so eng to post, and many more who find the discussions in ksp too 无聊 and don’t bother to post. They just sit there, read and laugh as some jokers posted. But now that they feel the bra check is a big issue that concerns them, so they voice out and post. That does not make them fake.
Maybe the word ‘traumatised’ used by one of the parent is a bit exaggerated. But we can’t deny that some girls maybe affected more than others in this case, even though they are not being inspected. Maybe the Sec1 girl is timid and her friends scare her and tease her that she maybe next? We are not the girl, we do not know how she feel and why she feels that way. Just like the Sec 4 girls, many were checked, but why only one cry? Maybe she is more shy and sensitive to touch and to people looking at her bra, while others are not. I know this case is overblown and I know many parents with girls in nygh that said their girls won’t mind, as the button is on the shoulder. But don’t forget that there are girls from more conservative family who mind.
Yes, I also agree that the girl maybe timid and introverted hence dare not say no to the teacher. What I was sharing here is my personal view, personal parenting style. Even if one breaks the rules, they should receive appropriate punishment. They can be booked. They can be made to stand under the hot sun in the parade square. They can be made to wash toilet or stay back. As long as it adheres to school rules, as long as it is appropriate, go ahead and punish them. I am all for schools to punish the students if they break the law. But if the check and punishments have crossed the line and made them feel uncomfortable, unsafe, they should say no. If my girls are introverted, I will keep repeating and reminding them they have to stand up for themselves and say no if they have to. Learning how to say no is even more important for timid and introverted girls than extroverted girls. Again, this is my personal parenting styles, you don’t have to agree with me. Similarly, some parents here seem to think that the school can do anything they want to their dd when they break the rules, so as they learnt a lesson. Again, this is your parenting style. There is no right or wrong and it is not for me or anyone to condemn you.
Clearly, the teacher has crossed the line, that is why she and the school apologised. I also understand it is not easy to be teachers these days and she does sound like a nice and caring teacher from the comments and reviews. I do feel for her, especially reading all the very nasty comments people said about her in all the fb comments. All fingers seem to point at her. I do hope the nanyang community, especially the parents and students can show her the support in this difficult time.
Kudos to the nygh girl who tirelessly fending off the school and teacher by patiently and maturely answering every comments and attacks made. At least she didn’t ask fb to check every IP addresses or block the site!
