Hi bluemom,
Yes. It will be prudent to wait for the sch investigation report. And now better keep my hand tied.
Fully understand your concern.
Maybe CCA teacher in-charge together with other teacher in-charge are still in the midst of investigating
the incident and therefore are unable to communicate with you effectively, and give you an impression
that the school takes the matter lightly.
There are CCTVs within school premises, I believe that teachers in-charge are able to find out additional
details from the CCTVs.
It's good to wait for the investigation report, to obtain clearer details and clarify your doubts during your
meeting with the school leader. It's better to resolve the matter within the school community. -
How could a teacher make such a remarks that "it should be very serious and grievances and if the boy dun repent, his parents would then be informed!" Moreover this teacher came from such a prestigious school! Perhaps SJI should explain, what does the school consider as "very serious and grievances!"
Our boys spend most of their time in the school and with this incident and the way the teacher react and respond to the parents, make me very worried & concern about my boy’s safety in school. Playing a prank on a friend is considered as "an action with intention", a prank may or may not cause bodily harm/injury to the victim. But it definitely caused some emotional distress to the victim. The victim may develop low self esteem or depression from the incident and those very serious ones may even suicide… thus, the school should not take this kind of action lightly! Our boys are still in their teens and can playful at time and usually overlook the safety consequences due to their playfulness. Hence, the school and the parents have the responsibilities to teach & give proper guidance to the boys and have to constantly remind them on the safety aspects.
Thus, not only does the school owe you a good explanation, the prankster should formally apologise to your boy. This also teach the prankster a lesson and make him do some reflections on his action and he must think of the consequences before he act… this lesson will teach him good in life. -

FUBAR? Not necessary. It’s easy to get into knee jerk reactions.peasants\" post_id=\"1914009\" time=\"1560154681\" user_id=\"75885:
Really fubar. You can forward school replies to MOE Superintendent, cc to P, VP and teachers involved. Bring out all your unanswered questions to MOE Superintendent, this should make them look at the case seriously.
While I don’t doubt that the incident had happened, how and why it happen may not have been fully disclosed. It’s only fair that the school / teacher / student be given a chance to respond (which they can’t do so here) and for their side of the story to be presented. There’s always two sides to a coin. Waiting for the investigation report would be prudent.
P/S: I’m a Libra.
It is true that the coin has 2 sides. I would prefer to flip the coin myself to proof it rather than believe what others had said to be. -

It’s probably true that we would prefer to be the one investigating if we end up in the same shoes. Unfortunately, the authority to investigate isn’t with us. We can only raise our concerns to the school leaders and trust that the school / teachers do a job in investigating. If the resolution and outcome isn’t to your satisfaction, you can then take it to another level.
It is true that the coin has 2 sides. I would prefer to flip the coin myself to proof it rather than believe what others had said to be.
Ultimately, there is a question of how much your boy / other party is telling and withholding. What constitutes “a prank” and more importantly, what was the “prank”. Was the “prank” a “prank or is it something else? Running into a glass door, slamming a glass door into a person, causing a person to slam into a glass door may produce similar outcome but we could end up with very different conclusions. While I do not intend to engage in victim blaming, I think it’s only fair to hear what the other side has to say, which they can’t do on an online forum like this. -

In order to avoid being swing n hit by the door , end up bang into the other side of the door, produce the same outcome......So the question is why that boy wanted to swing the door when he knew my son running towards the exit. A lot of things cannot be reveal in the public forum LIKE THIS. I am not trying to raise any public outcry n get them to stand by me against anyone. I just simply raise my doubts here n ask for other parents opinions. Simple as that. -
Another factor of consideration is the relationship between the "victim" & his cca peers. If they have always been on good terms, there should be certain extent of care for each other (maybe this could be the view of the teacher ic). However, if "victim" has been an ongoing "target", then this incident is not purely an accident. Only the boys involved know and any experienced DM can get it out from them. Unfortunately the term has closed so likely investigation process affected.
