If i put myself in the teacher's shoe, i will say that they
would not want any bad complains(written on blogs/forums/newspaper)
about them, if someone of a higher authority sees his/her bad
complains, his/her so called iron
rice bowl will crack, but not broken.
Therefore, in order to protect
their ricebowl, they will get their colleagues who are HODs
or discipline masters to put up a show, scream at the students, and
threatening them with disciplinary measures or bad records, in hope
that they will remove the content
I have graduated from secondary school last year, and have seen
first hand how my teachers scold students, and also heard how they
punish the students
Based on what i heard from my friends(maybe 1 sided), my
secondary school is known to be one of the more 'unreasonable'
ones. I think the reason behind it is because a teacher who have
been teaching for over 10 years would be more 'egoistic' than the
rest(how ever not all teachers are like that), and thus even if the
student's reasoning skills win the teacher, the teacher does not want to lose face in front
of all his/her colleagues
So do students have rights? They still have, but the amount of
rights they have is based on their behaviours, relationship with
teachers, and are benchmarked against their classmates. Of course,
even the worst student have some kind of rights.
What i am trying to say is that be a good student in ur school,
you will have your rights, and if you are unhappy about things,
post them annonmously online/on STOMP or on newspaper, and
pretend you did nothing in front of
the teachers
What are the ways your school uses to punish the students?
