Interesting. OTT a bit... A student told me that she rejected MOE scholarship because she was so appalled by the interviewer's choice of questions, including? Does she drink, would she drink, what does she think about drinking, what would she do if a colleague (teacher) drinks... and the same about smoking, etc etc. Not that she smokes or drinks, but she felt that her primary objective was to serve as a teacher, not a saint. And she has no objections toward responsible drinking, and her only objection for smoking is for health reasons.


For me, personally, I believe in the freedom of choice. So, probably not the most popular personality here. 😛
I'm afraid that the student mentioned is not likely to be a good teacher. She might be able to teach well, but she might not fit in as a good teacher, nor will she likely be happy as one.

to add to this..

Schools insist students to change out of their PE attire during recess back to uniform.
Citing hygiene as a reason.. Do teachers change out of their sport attire after PE also?
Actually they do. Some teachers that I know of will take a shower after PE lesson. If not the body odour will scare away the students haha.

For the same reason I think (smoker) teachers have better not smoke in schools.

One classmate who taught at a neighborhood sec school, however, jokingly said that he confiscated his students' cigarettes, and then go and smoke… we still don't know whether he was serious… 😂

Teachers must set the example by following the rules that they expect of students.

Teachers are supposed to be role models. Even ear ring for males should be discouraged.

this also covers some parts of the specktrum e.g. coloured / highlighted / dyed hair for female teachers
