Kindergarten teacher charged with ill-treating child

[Mawar]

The other kiddies who witnessed the incident are victims too. I would like to think that the school had made efforts to talk to the them.


Maybe the kindies should look into absorbing the many SAHM into preschool. Some can come in few hours to run specific programs. Many are very qualified academically, and most importantly they have first hand experience with young kids.

Higher expectations on preschools... Higher demands from parents... Higher KPIs for teachers... :siao:


Hope the new stat board is the solution...

Higher KPIs do not equate to such treatment. This person is not fit to be a kindergarten teacher. Young kids can be rebellious, naughty and try to step beyond boundary but this kind of treatment is definitely not acceptable.
If she can do this to a girl, can we do that to her ? She ought to be shamed.

I feel so sad for the poor girl, I pray that it will not leave a scar for the rest of her life.....

Mawar, about the suggestion on SAHMs, it can really work. My DD attended such a co-op kindy overseas where parents take turns for duties, only about once or twice a month. and the fees are low and the teacher had a Masters in Early Childhood education!

Reminds me of reading about a mom who did that to her own DD. Wasn’t this posted in KSP before?


Maybe this teacher would have done the same to her own child if she has one. Maybe it was the way that she was brought up by her own parents.

Hope there is proper follow-up counselling for the 5yo victim and her classmates. I will be really angry if this happens to my child.

If adults treat children so badly, how do they expect youths to demonstrate kindness and graciousness?

Touchwood.
If this happened to my child, I will make sure TEACHER'S name and pic is published. I am sure many would want to see her face. And I will send my child to see a psychiatrist to make sure she is not traumatised.

In this case, everyone would applaud the actions taken by the \"$60 haircut\" mum.

:yikes:

Yes... if this happened to my child, I would blog about the Teacher and place her photo. It's really cruel of me but I am REALLY REALLY angry.

All mums love their kids…shaming a 5 year old this way is uncalled for. If this teacher is married with kids, can her kids be shamed the same way by another person?

That teacher’s face should be on the front page of ST.

Actually, if this lady were a Mom, I won't be surprised if she did that to her own kid. People like that should be legally barred from giving birth to children and from going near other people's children.

I wish there were something to castrate but there isn't... perhaps, a lobotomy?
