      Heard a story today :


      A teacher stopped a student running along the school corridor. The student explained that he was going to be late for his exam. The teacher gave him a lecture before releasing him, reminding him to walk.

      Hope to have your view on :
      1. Is the teacher’s action ok?
      2. Would you do the same if you were the teacher, if not what would you do?

      This is a real incident.

        being late is no excuse for ignoring safety

          my opinion :

          1) the teacher is not wrong, running along corridor is dangerous as one may fall or bump onto someone and cause both to fall.. regardless of the reason, students should not run along corridor...

          2) i might do the same, stop him first, telling him to watch out for his own safety.. but will not \"lecture\" as it sounds like very long delay...

            To use a cliche…


            Better late than dead.

            Lesson worth learning.

              This is actually what had happened.


              The boy dashed off ignoring the teacher's reminder. He told his mum that luckily the teacher didn't give chase or he would have bashed him up at that moment.

              This is the boy's side of the story which the \"teacher\" was not aware.

              It was first day of A level. The boy went to the location where he took his prelim paper 15 minutes before time. He had assumed that the sitting arrangement would remain the same. To his embarrassment, the arrangement was not the same and some of his friends were giggling when they saw him at the wrong place. After checking with the invigilator he was directed to another location. He head for the new place immediately. To his horror, it was wrong again. This time, he checked for the location himself and he had only about 5 mins left. He ran to the correct place, only to be stopped by the teacher (who doesn't know the earlier events) along the way. The teacher delayed him further and when he reached the correct place, exam had just started.

              I find this incident quite interesting as have I learnt a number of lessons on behaviour between adult and children, teacher and student.

                this boy is on the whole - sway on that day... lol...

                i still think that no matter who, even if not teacher, will still stop him to remind him of safety.. but of cos once they know the reason, they should let him go instead of \"lecture\" him to keep him longer...

                  The boy is just acting in the way that unwise, impulsive young boys act. We’ve all been there, just need to mature along the way.

                        I think nowadays the mentality is... kids taking exams are KINGS/QUEENS.
