I read with amazement of the same topic but almost totally different view from different forum sites...
Over here most are of the view that the teacher in question is wrong & more respect should be given to the 'disobeying' boy.
Over at another forum, the boy is slammed upside down with remarks that I believe most parents will find too hard to swallow.
Without knowing the true details, I would not want to side which party is right or wrong...
Personally, I would still like to see discipline being instill in school & respect by the students on the rules... I don't agreed parents to be over protective; esp the boys... I can't imagine how these over-protected boys will grow up & in time of needs, can they be relied on to carry arms & protect our nation??? :xedfingers: -
There are always going to be problems regardless which way it swings. The schools do it the way they think will work best, i.e. discipline the kids, and there will be danger that teachers/schools abuse the power they have, and the kids lose interest, self-esteem, self-respect, human rights, etc. These are real.
Go the other way, if teachers are not given the power to discipline the students, especially those who are errant, what might happen is that the schools will no longer be able to function effectively and efficiently. Every single ‘incident’ will mean teachers having to take up time to deal with it (i’m not going to delve much into how much time is needed to do what, in order for the students & parents to be treated with respect, and eventually resolving the incident such that things can go on normally). This will likely mean our school lessons will move much slower and less can be covered in a year. Alternatively, many more teachers will have to be hired to resolve all these issues…
Both ways are not perfect. We will have to choose one and rationalise that it’s the better/best one. -

The school should have just sent that boy back .... Till he return with a decent hair cut.
Totally agree. :goodpost: -
It said that the teacher cut the hair for the boy, right?
This is bad… The teacher should not be the one cutting the student’s hair.
In my DS school, all those singled out for a haircut will be cut by a professional barber at a cost of $3.
My DS also kena once.
When he sms me, I was upset too.
His hair wasn’t even long, it was above the collar and his fringe definitely above the eye brow.
But his hair is bushy, so the teacher said they need to tidy it up, although he agreed that it was not long.
He reassured me that the barber would not change the style, but just neaten it.
DS looked neater, but he still went to cut his hair after the incident. -

In the end, yes, this is the most simple solution for teachers, parents and students. How come this school didn't use it? What are they trying to prove? They should consult Tankee next time. :evil:tankee:

I am a parent who preferred the teacher to cut my kids hair if they refused to follow the school rule on their hair style after warning。
Send them back. Hahahaha… The student are MORE happy with that. They can dilly dally at the shopping centre to get their hair cut.
Suspension? Wow they like it MORE. It’s like extra holiday to them.
What let them hate most? Is to have an ugly hair style. LOL! Since they can’t obey the rule to get their haircut, than they bear the consequences lor.
Do SIA allow their air stewardess to let their hair down for human right? Air stewardess want human right, than leave the job lor.
To me, the kids needed to obey school rule from young so that when they grow up, they are able to obey company rule!!! Chinese said "家有家规，国有国法。学校也要有法规！" Want human right? Follow the rule and they will give it to u!!! 面子是别人给你得。脸是自己丢得。 -
what is the big deal.
When I go reservist, the RSM catch us with too long hair, we also kena haircut what. Can I go comprain to my MP then?
Basically, I say, screw this parental expectation of teachers being customer service officers. :siao:
When the parent despises enforced discipline, the child would also grow to despise it.
So we'll see la. Personally I am expecting this parent to complain to mindef next about why BMTC did not put floatation devices for her son to swim home from Tekong when he enters NS a few years on....
by the way, this topic was all over my facebook today.
From my friend's friend status: i used to do discipline in my former sch, i once shave off half the hair of a boy who refused to dye his hair back to black despite we gave him time during sch hrs to go n find barber shop to do it .. he came back still same colour .. i intentionally shaved off of his hair (sorry, i'm not a trained barber, so dun expect me to do wonders), then my DM saw the 'half-done product', shook his head n decided to shave off the other half to make his hairdo complete - end results is botak!
