Remember this case long ago..... ?
didn't know about this case.

I remember canings done in the assembly hall when I was in primary school. the boy bullied younger students.

teachers, students and parents...bullying of any party should not be condoned.

regarding this teacher, I hope the ministry will redeploy her to a position where he can 'continue to contribute to education'. but not in the school compound.

Some of punishments do seem a little vindictive and targeted and one does wonder whether there is something going on for her to take it out on the kids.

I don't recall getting those kind of punishments (kneeling, stuff thrown at me, etc) when I was in school a few decades ago (although I do recall there was the odd slap and being called \"bloody goondu\" by a couple of male teachers).

In response to TODAY’s queries, an MOE spokesperson said: “Teachers who fail to comply with our standards of conduct and discipline will be subjected to disciplinary action.

“The teacher has been relieved of her teaching duties while investigations are ongoing.”

To read the comments. More parents and ex-students feedback. The teacher's name is also revealed in the comments section.
TODAY understands that on Tuesday, the school sent out a circular to parents and students to inform them that the teacher had been transferred to teach non-core subjects in the school, such as art and social studies, with effect from the same day.
she is still teaching in the school, even though the subjects are not core...the point here is, she should be removed. there is no guarantee that students taking art and social studies under her will be safe from her abusive ways.

The parent is indeed very brave. Most of us would not dare to complain incase the teacher came to know and start to target the kid. Such cases ( but not this bad ) does happen in many schools where teacher has made mean comments to demoralise the children 😞

many parents would be afraid to stand up because their kids would be targeted by the teacher and maybe the P as well. that is the fear instilled in the kids and as such they suffer in silence most of the time.
now that the truth is out, MOE should do something about teachers who bully the students.

the school tried to cover up for the teacher. Bad move!
when the students are saying the same thing and there was a teacher's assistant in the classroom, this can't be a lie.
i applaud the parent who took the social media route because the P covered up. it is so hurting as parents when such a person who is a teacher made such crude comments :mad: and IS so mean. she should be dismissed.

What is the principal doing?

If P is too busy, then what are the VPs doing?

Why must they let things go out of hand then decided to step in?

If I read correctly, many parents already raised the issues before someone decides to blog it, and explode it as nothing (or bare minimum) was being done by the school.

I agreed cctv should be installed in the classrooms.

No matter how busy the principal is, he/she has to look into this matter...it's very urgent and important because a teacher is abusing her students. Since the P and VP didn't step in, the only way to get something done is by social media.

The right SOP is to temporarily suspend the teacher and not to assign her to another class while investigation is ongoing.
the teacher should be suspended from her duties and stay away from the school while investigations are ongoing. very scary to read what she had done and said to the primary school students. :mad:

What happen to \"innocent until proven guilty\"?

I believe investigations into those alleged abuses are underway.

According to the parents, the female teacher from the school in Tampines — who has been relieved of her teaching duties and cannot be named as investigations into the case are still ongoing — had resorted to abusive punishment of her students in the classes she taught.

The punishments ranged from the students being called names, having to kneel beside the teacher’s table, and getting objects thrown at them.

Parents TODAY spoke to say this happened from as early as March this year. The teacher also called students who had forgotten to bring their science textbooks “a bunch of retarded monkeys”, said Ms Karen Tan, whose Primary 5 son was among the forgetful students.

The 42-year-old accountant added that her son, who has high myopia, had to constantly walk nearer to the whiteboard during lessons in class.

The teacher was said to have told the boy: “Too bad you can’t see. Go get new spectacles.”

To other students who did the same thing, she allegedly said: “Don’t you have the money to get new ones?”

In another incident that occurred before the school holidays in June, the teacher is said to have made a classmate of Ms Tan’s son sit on the floor beside her.

The student, whom Ms Tan said was “a little more playful than the rest”, was a little disruptive, and in an apparent fit of anger, the teacher allegedly threw a whiteboard marker at the boy’s head.

Ms Tan noted that while other teachers of the Primary 5 class lectured the students, only this teacher punished them to such an extent.

Ms Josephine Chua, whose son is also in the same class, told TODAY that the students often “have to dodge, because they never know what is going to get thrown their way”.

The 43-year-old homemaker said another parent had told their child’s form teacher about the teacher’s actions in March, while the science head of department was informed about the matter in April.

Ms Chua and her husband met the school’s management on Monday to discuss the teacher’s case.

TODAY understands that on Tuesday, the school sent out a circular to parents and students to inform them that the teacher had been transferred to teach non-core subjects in the school, such as art and social studies, with effect from the same day.

Her classes have been taken over by other teachers, and she is also no longer the form teacher of her class.

Mr George Cheah, the school’s vice-principal (administration), told TODAY: “The school takes any misconduct of our teachers very seriously. After receiving the parents’ feedback, the school leaders met the parents to understand their concerns.

“Our students’ welfare remains our top priority.”

Ms Chua told TODAY that the school’s decision “belittles the severity of the abuse”, and that the parents hope the teacher will be transferred out of the school, and into a non-teaching role.

Both Ms Chua and Ms Tan said they had met the teacher before during the parent-teacher sessions held before the June holidays. They described her as “patient, soft-spoken” and “cordial”.

The teacher’s alleged actions have also been detailed in a blog about motherhood, Mother Inc.

In response to TODAY’s queries, an MOE spokesperson said: “Teachers who fail to comply with our standards of conduct and discipline will be subjected to disciplinary action.

“The teacher has been relieved of her teaching duties while investigations are ongoing.”

My ds ex-teacher flung stacks of papers on the floor & asked the the kids to pick them up when the kids were noisy. Once, she even threw a chair. But she was smart enough that the chair did not hit anyone & she even told the kids that she will report everything to the principal. So if anyone dares to complain, the principal will know that she threw papers and chair because they were noisy. So no one dares to complain.
