hey, i am new to this forum, so anything pls guide me through.
thanks.
okay, being a student in a rather good school in singapore, i
cant help it but feel astonished about the inappropriate behavior
that teachers display. These behaviors are totally unreasonable and
childish in my eyes, from a perspective of a student. therefore, i
would like to see how you people feel about this controversial
topic. " Because i am a teacher"
In the school rules, it is stated that, " shirts must be tucked
in, no wearing of coloured shoes/ inappropraite footwear, no ankle
socks and etc" therefore, these rules, if not abided, students will
be punished. but in contrary, what if teacher breaks them. teachers
march in the school with ankle socks and coloured shoes, brown
hair, striking ear piercings, and shirts untucked. I know that this
isnt wrong. But the question is, is it right. things that teachers
can do and students cant, are they right? yes, students may argue,
but we often find ourselves cornered in an arguement when it comes
to their rights. " because i am a teacher." so this is kind of
example that we're suppose to look up to? I say no. i say teachers,
are like police. police do not have to right to break the law,
unless it falls under the section of general exceptions in the
penal code. but that doesnt give them the right to kill and etc.
therefore, the arguement is now, we, students are suppose to follow
the teachers (supposingly role models), and break the school rules?
or are we supposed to practice self disclipline, and do not follow
the teachers. Though there are of course other means, which is to
alter the school rules or perhaps punishing the teachers? they are
the teachers of singapore futures. they are the parents of
singapore's fruits. and this is what they doing? i don think so,
not quite a bit. its been always the students and the pupils. for
once, make this the teacher. make it right. if such behavior does
not stop, what will it lead to. students would do this in the
FUTURE! they would do this because they are what they are! they are
what they're taught! students now have this social stigma that is
preventing them to excel in school because of what they're facing!
this is becoming the key to singapore's failure in nurturing out
their successors.
So, Make it Right. netizens, i am shouting out to all adults, to
stand up. for your children in school facing such treatmeant. the
abuse of power. god, whats next? corruption of our money? taking
disclipine actions which includes coporal punishment? make it right
people. make it right adults.
Looking at management perspective: The teachers' dress
codes are taken care by the respective principal and HOD. So you
students just have to follow the school rules which take care of
you.
Looking at fashion and style perspective: You have to dress and
look what a school student intend to look. So you can fit the whole
image. IT IS STYLE, you know!
In any case, you can always quit school.
