MR06:

Let me repeat what I had suggested in another thread on the same matter. Maybe the schools should show parents photos of what is acceptable and what is not for hairstyle, uniform, shoes and socks during P1 orientation.

Ermmmm... :skeptical:... It's not just during P1 orientation actually... schools have rules printed in Pupil's Diary WITH pictures! Isn't it? :scratchhead: Thought all schools have all these black n whites clearly stated in there? (of what is acceptable or rather of only what is accepted... pertaining to hairstyle, uniforms, grading, practically everything.) Plus the demerit points and/or warning system/procedures the school adopts for students who flout school rules, misbehavior, (etc). No confusion at all I find. Just a case of one only wanting to read what one wants to read and/or wanting to do what one still wants to do despite any /all measures in place... or worse, despite knowing the consequences.

Furthermore this case was involving a P6 boy and not some noobie kid entering formal primary school education for the first time. Which goes to say the parents in this case aren't noobies too. They're seasoned parents. :evil: To be fair, mebbe they're noobies to PSLE requirements/guidelines bah.. (not referring to just academic preparations).

But still..... oh well..... :roll:

There's more to this than meets the eye. :skeptical:

My hostility is reserved for the deserving ones..... but, for you, such a kawai kawai Kitty, that would never happened in a millennium.... :hugs: :snuggles:

May still happen la but take a step back and try to understand lor. Nobody is hardly very hostile right from the start. If suddenly personal attack, must have earlier episodes.

Agree.
Both my kids (in different schools) have a school handbook (yearly calendar/diary) detailing the school rules with pics (real pupils) of what are the hairstyles acceptable & a lot other stuff. No excuse. While I may not read or remember every single stuff in there, we need to have basic respect for authority/rules.

Too rule abiding. Sounds familiar? Rules are made by people. Different people have different yardsticks. Whether I impart correct values or not, not up to you to judge.

Actually everyone who is in contact with your child will be judging whether you impart the right values or not, only a matter of whether they want to say something to you or not.

As to Serene Ong's comment about the teacher having \"Overstepped her (mum's) authority.\" Only 6 more years to NS hor, I think she better start getting her son used to people exceeding mummy's authority.

Her son still can mould, maybe... It is she who can't be moulded....

but the mould has not changed shape yet, so the son will still be in the original mould

If parents don't mould their kids well, their attitudes and values turn to mold

Maybe parents are mistaken....think that mold which fungus is good as health tonic... :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Mold is poisonous!

that depends on the mother mould, whether moldy or not
