      The pt is that students generally look up to teachers for guidance and even as character reference pts. So does that mean that those other students in the class will now think it is right to throw things at physically weaker beings whenever they are unhappy with something?


      Actually to me, it is even more damaging for a teacher to verbally abuse a student, as such labelling a student as stupid. I think that will be even more insidious.

        Hmm… am I the odd one out here?


        During my time, I remember my Pri sch teacher used to throw the chalk duster across the classroom to hit the mischievious kid. Pretty accurate somemore… and funny to see the kid covered in chalk!

        I think most parents are just too overly-protective towards kids.

        The way I interpret the article… the parent seems to condone the kid sleeping in class…

          So you think it is alright if your own kid is caught sleeping in class and then get hit by a duster? And everyone in the class starts laughing at him/her covered in chalk?

            On Monday, the CL teacher gave out this week's CL tingxie list. My boy told me he put his copy on the desk. Then he walked away. When he returned to his desk, the list was nowhere to be found. He went back to the CL teacher and told her (I deduced he did not request or ask) to give him another copy. The teacher told him to go back to his seat and did not give him a copy.

            Shld I be angry with the teacher? Of course. But I also need to be angry with my boy first. If he had explained properly why the need and asked politely from the teacher, maybe the teacher wld not be so nasty.

            If my boy slept in class and got punished, I wld not complain abt the teacher. He needs to face the consequences esp if he chose to sleep late the previous night. But if the punishment resulted in bodily hurt, then it is another issue that I wld take up with the teacher.

              Hmm... why not? I think it's ok to rough up a little for boys... but not ok for girls.
              I will scold the boy for sleeping in class as well, so that he knows he should not do that in class again.
              If you worry about the little kid's pride over such incident... I think I rather teach him more life skills to get over these... than see him suffer more later in teenage/adult life.

                Why the different treatment? Girls also need to learn essential life skills to toughen themselves 😉 esp now so many going single

                  I agree... as long don't punish till see blood... I think it's ok.
                  But I think my wife will disagree me on this... she's the 慈母 🙂
