ST 23/8 Teacher cuts pupil's hair, mum files police report

[verykiasu2010]

LOLMum:

But the boy did cut his hair a few days earlier....


hair for all kids, boys n girls with short hair, must be above eye brows n collar. The sides for the boys shouldnt touch or cover the ears. That is the rule in schools.

I see nothing wrong with the boy's hair..my ds's hair (those at the back near to the top) would stick out just like the boy's after cutting short. His fringe is above eye brows.

There is no rule that say it must be a military hair style or botak or a stylo milo cut. So how is he breaking the rule?

As I said earlier, the boy had a hair cut, the letter issued was just a reminder to all students, there was no complaint from teachers before exam....so how would the parents know the boy's hairstyle is not allowed.

N when I say not allowed.....whose point of view? The school or that teacher?

If the teacher did issue warning to this boy n was ignored, then yes the boy should be punished. Otherwise....i find it hard to forgive the teacher for doing it on the day of exam. Some more threaten to deduct marks..that is totally unacceptable.

Also the price of the hair cut is not an issue here. That is his family preference, lifestyle.

the boy has been in the school for almost six years liao still don't know school rules ? oh may be they teach less learn more - through experience of haircut :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :evil: :evil: :evil:

I need to read the news myself before I can see the whole picture.


But questions below:
1)Why need for a haircut of $60 when one can find $3.80 hair cut or $10 one?
Dying the hair to make it colorful or getting some perm treatment etc???

2)Why parents never ask him to do something about it after seeing the new haircut?
Parent cannot control the kid or parent turn blind to see it?

3)Why the kid never ask to redo his hair?
He like it & purposely do it?

Sorry so many questions cause curious & need the answers in order to get a better picture & understanding.

Maybe the teacher should allow one day grace for the kid to do a makeover for the hair & maybe grace already given but kid fail to show up in new proper hairstyle.

Essential:

Unsure if the boy oral conversation is about 校规。if yes it's a add point of he talk about this incident

verykiasu2010:

I have to DISAGREE with everyone who thinks the teacher is harsh


If the school / teachers can't enforce school rules, it is always the fault of the parents and the child. Period.

If the school / teachers have to resort to threat to get students to comply with school ruless, the student deserves it

If the boy does not learn discipline in school, then when / where ?

I strongly support you! The boy is setting a bad example to other kid's. he had broke a school rule. School rules is there to follow & parents are suppose to work with the school while it is trying to educate or discipline the kids. The boy's parents should feel shameful of themselves & not just blame the teacher. It is not easy to handle a class of 40 kids.

the answers to all your questions is $0.90 from the newspapers :rotflmao:

the warning letter issued previously means more than one day grace liao

but the boy \"forgot\" to show the letter to parents

parents rich, $120 for the haircut no problem

Police should bill them $12,000 (cheap cheap only for them) for abusing mata to vent their anger with the school for cutting their son's hair when they have no control over their own son

It is amazing what we can think of on hindsight. I believe the teacher must have been in a dilemma - What should I do? And I do wonder how much time she had to make that decision - whether she had enough time to make a quick phone call to the parent / consult the higher authorities in the school.


I know of a boy, not in P6, who was not allowed to borrow a pencil which he forgot to bring to the exam hall, and scored badly for that paper. The reason given by the teacher (not his form teacher) was that \"he had to learn his lesson\". The parents did not complain. Now, looking at this case, this (different) teacher had taken another stand - perhaps because it was PSLE, too risky to 'teach him a lesson'. Worse, if this student had been 'disqualified' to take the exam at the last minute by the invigilator because of unacceptable hair length, then who is responsible? The teacher again?
