This is a lesson learned for the teachers. Don't be too KPO. The students cannot score is their problem. Bochap will help to secure their rice bowl. Why want to make their life so difficult? :oops: :oops:
Tis is case of dilemma. On one hand would you not wish for your children to be taught by caring and knowledgeable teachers but on the other you demand them to hands off from teaching your children to obey the school rules because you think they havent got the right to do so .
Where is all that respect for teachers? When we were young, do we question our parents or teachers as much as our children dare to now?? Has the world changed??
anywAy the teacher at unity has chosen the wrong time and place for imparting her belief. Too bad. -

Would you want to entrust your kids to teachers who don't care about pupils' well-being or bother to correct them for their wrong-doings? Teaching is supposedly a noble occupation, not a metal rice bowl issue.
The issue here is a flaw in the procedures of actions taken, not about whether teachers should address issues.
If there are no lines drawn, then there are many questions besides long hair that are of no 'importance' too - why must wear uniform, why must wear school shoes, why can't dye hair, why can't put makeup, why can't use hand phone in class . ....
Very sad

When we enlisted out child to the school, we had inherently agreed to abide by their rules and regulations. Rules and regulations set a clear standard on the code of conduct and install a sense of discipline to the pupils .
Back in my sec school days, the rule were what i deemed as excessive and ridiculous then. Fringe must not touch eyebrow, skirt must be below knee, waist band must be seen, earrings must be plain with no jewellery, no dyed hair,socks length must be 4 fingers above ankle and a lot of other rules with demerit points given for each of the above mentioned non performance. It was pretty hellish and i did rebel and garnered a few demerit points along the way.
However looking back now, I am very proud of my school for being so strict. By maintaining the presentation and standards of its students, both in terms of appearance and study performance expectation, it had upheld its sterling reputation for >20 years and this had even proven to be an asset in my CV.
Which school do you think would stand your child in better stead? One who turn out neat, polite, disciplined students? Or one where students come with a varied of ‘fashionable’ hair styles, attires, individualistic and egoistic behavours and attitudes?
All of us wants the best for our child.Individualism may be the newest word now, but this trait can always be developed later. If the foundation or structure is not even built solid and discipline installed appropriately, our children is as good as a puff of hot air… no substance. One blow and it dissipates. -
There was an interesting article on zaobao titled "独子、毒子".

(Thanks, MR06.... out of curiosity, i had it checked out...)
Whoa! ..... for a moment, I thought that that infamous Mdm Serene Ong was at the Unity Parents Networking Forum .... or may be she sent her proxy.... Or may be her son sent a proxy.... So intense....
Tsk tsk tsk.... think Mdm Ong and her proxy have all the intention to see Ms Belinda Cheng be dealt with, as if the police report and MOE complain is still not suffice...
Tsk tsk tsk.... now I start to get worry, maybe 20 years later Mdm Ong and her proxy's grandchildren would have no school to attend, due to all the schools close shop liao cos no one under the sun would want to be a teacher.... IF EVERY PARENT ADOPT HER ATTITUDE! -

I don't side the teacher. They have no right to touch our kids. My son's teacher (not unity pri) also told him to have his hair cut and I told her off. Another time another teacher told him cannot wear PE attire during exams. I also told her off. Ridiculous sch rules.
So if your kid went into the exam room with unkempt hairstyle and got marked down due to poor first impression or worse still, barred from taking the exam, it will be your responsibility then? -

Last time, only need principal to mediate. Now, also no give face to principal. Complain principal not enough, must MOE. Now lagi better, small small matter go right up to mata. Totally no respect, 我最大 mentality. Like very shiok. :slapshead:
Dunno what kind of next generation are we bringing up. Look around & it's really scary to see so many spoilt kids & parents around :scared:
