      Hmmm โ€ฆ between getting hair cut by the teacher (can potentially still score for the Oral) and the possibility of being barred from PSLE Oral (which is getting zero marks), which is better?


      After close to 6 years in primary school, it would truly be a sad day for any P6 pupils if they do not know the school rules by heart, and choose to flout them on a major examination day. Ironically, one of the Oralโ€™s topic was on school rules.

      I stand by the teacher. If the child in question is mine, he deserved it.

          fully agree with you. Those who flout the law should be prepared to face the consequences.
          just wonder if the teacher did not cut the hair and subsequently the boy was barred from taking the oral exam, will his parents blame the teacher for being too lax?

            i stand by the teacher. if warning issued, onus is on boy. mother obviously to blame for trying to bring in $60 hair cut.


            what is not said if the boy and teacher had history (not cpib kind) before?

            also, i blame the school principal the most. why never back own teacher?

                They probably will.

                  Mychildren:

                  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. ๐Ÿ˜‰

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

                  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



                  Screaming good one! :goodpost:


                  PS. \"The Stress Time\" (?) (!)

                    From picture, I see nothing wrong with fringe n side...so maybe the back?

                    Maybe moe do what the army is doing. All boys should have one type of hairstyle - botak - to avoid confusion.

                    Fringe looks ok on the pictures except his hair looks untidy before but got even worst after the untimely and unprofessional hair cut. [/quote]
                    The teacher targetted his side burn. After the hair cut by the teacher, it looks ugly. Before that it was nice.

                      personally, if my son break any rules, i rather he do it when he is schooling. at least he will learnt it the hard way as compared to if he breaks the rules when he enters society, there might not be second chance.

                        Because the teacher's actions were not defensible.
