A mother has lodged a police report after her
12-year-old son's teacher cut his hair an hour before his PSLE oral
exam last Thursday.
The mother, Madam Serene Ong, is outraged that the teacher did
this just before a crucial exam, that it was done without her
knowledge - and that it ruined the boy's $60 haircut.
She claimed the teacher - Ms Belinda Cheng of Unity Primary -
also threatened to deduct marks from the boy's exam if he refused
to have his hair cut.
On Wednesday, the school's principal, Mrs Jasmail Singh Gill,
agreed with Madam Ong that the teacher had no business cutting the
boy's hair.
