Unity Primary

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.

(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?

many rules in SAF very ridiculous, and many of the penal code provisions also tsk tsk tsk


I hope people will tell the SAF generals and the judges about it ...... please

Not to worry. Judging by some comments posted here, mabbe next time some mummy is gonna to tell some generals off for the 'ridiculous rule' of making her son get crew-cut and wearing uniform during parades.

Mabbe next time during NDP, we can see pony-tailed commandoes marching in PT kit instead. Rules are made by people mah. Muahaha!
