Singapore Chinese Girls' Primary

I didn’t really have to tell much to my daughter. She was also quite disgusted with student’s A behaviour, as evident by the fact that she told me "she’s always like that". We don’t have any maids/domestic helper at home, so she certainly doesn’t understand this sort of overly-pampered and irresponsible behaviour.

Personally I don't think it's fair to make a sweeping statment that all rich kids = spoilt/rude kids (I'm not defending the rich and I grew up in a 3-room HDB flat). These days not only the rich can afford maid, many HDB heartlanders have maids too. I do know of people that are filthy rich but are very humble and unassuming. On the other hand, I've also seen kids staying in HDB flats that are very spolit and order their maids around (cos their parents spend all their time working and just leave the maids to handle their kids). At the end of the day, it really depends on the parents and what type of kids do they want to bring up. If it's me, I'll explain to my girl such behaviour is rude and unacceptable and will ask her to disassociate herself from that girl. We can't control the behaviour of other kids but at least we can teach our kids the type of friends that is worth keeping

Children are a reflection of their parents. While a child can pick up values from the parent, values can be also taught.


REFORM their parents / families first...

the core values of Chinese culture :
忠孝仁义 礼仪廉耻

Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence , righteousness
Courtesy, honesty and integrity, sense of shame.

also politeness, well manners, responsibility towards self & others, showing compassion and mercy.

I feel that many young school kids lack these values.
SCGS school should also incorporate this into educating young kids.

Totally agree. There are two sides of a coin.
