Teacher use Hurtful words on Student; Father call police

[LOLMum]

there is a possibility the parent (s) could have been treated badly in this manner by a teacher previously. they could have felt humiliated (especially if they were innocent but teachers already labelled them and thought any trouble must be started by them)…so to have their child going through the same kind of hell they had been through once could have been the cause.

I do wonder, if teachers in SG are scared to scold/punish the child, won’t there be a loss of authority in the classroom? Also, when the child grows up and is unable to take any form of scolding, how then will the child be able to survive in the cold hard world leh?


DS has a teacher who’s really fierce…but only to those who consistently don’t hand up homework or who gives really bad handwriting. A bit hoping that DS2 won’t get her, but then it could be good practice for him to start making sure his handwriting doesn’t look like amulet writing.

As per the report the school and the teacher apologized.

Maybe the teacher said something really nasty.The child must be upset very emotionally.

well said--- i have a graduate staff full of self cos it a \"i know what
i am doing attitude\" so this will be what you get if the child is let lose
when they are young

DS have firece teachers and tuition teachers - it hurt the parent
to see your child reprimand wrongly but then imagine the working
world - this will be an advance practice to face what you call
the cold hard world leh :celebrate:

But then of they don't apologize, maybe will blow up? Not sure what the case, but if it involves say a childnwhomis disruptive, does not hand up homework, I can just see that child gather more guts to defy the teacher. Anyway, this is NOT representative of the actual case, I just thinking too much.

In my case, I will be one of those to pass teacher a cane if my kid misbehave. 子不教父之过， 教不严师之惰

I was once at a seminar where the speaker said that knowledge gains in the school worth $5 but experiencing school life is one of the main objectives.

School is like a mini society where children needs to learn discipline, manner, EQ etc in order to survive in society when they grow up. Don’t overprotect them but do guide them through the journey. Let them grow and they will glow in future.

Toufu parents

so now the child can tell the teacher off: watch your words, otherwise....
