Firstly, I think that its definitely the classmate's fault. My friend is not the one prank-calling. I don't think he should be punished. One should not be liable for an offence made by someone else. Secondly, I don't think passing a phone number to others is an offence too.

1) Why would the friend even give out the phone number when the DM is not related to anything he/she or his/her friend is doing in school other than disciplinary issues?

2) Making prank calls without knowing there's such a thing as caller-ID and hence not taking precautions for it?

Both (1) and (2) are really quite dumb... Just not wised up to the world yet

1) My friend got the number from somewhere else, not by the DM himself. So i think this is the explanation for the issue in "Abusing of trust". If you were to ask if he was wrong in passing it. I would say not really. And sry for the misunderstanding, but fyi the DM is not in charge with that his CCA at all.

2) I don't think we need a reason to prank call someone? If not that wont be call "prank", dun you tink so?.

3) ok thats call backstab den.

even if trust abuse is a non-issue, it still doesnt justify how one can give away the DM's number just like that.

Wrong alrdy admit mistake and move on la.....still wana argue. So what if DM made a fuss and refused to listen to explanations? If ur fren had followed basic principles on privacy of mobile numbers, this day wouldnt have come.

ok as i said earlier, actually the main point here is not the issue of passing the number around. It is on student getting a chance to at least explain and speak even if they are in the wrong

"And there is a reason behind everything. Prank calls cause you were bored?" I did not said prank calling is right. Pls read carefully on who is the one prankcalling.

the Bear, "btw.. it does not matter why the DM gave the number to whoever, trust was betrayed... and what more, it was betrayed by a person who was entrusted with responsibility" I agree with this sentence though.

and oh yes, there are too many replies at one go. thanks for all the suggestions and comments.

Even if we don't talk about prank calling. You said about the chance of explaining, your friend can always write a letter to the principal to explain his/ her actions.

Chances are, the letter should be on the apology side, not trying to push the blame away. Even if your friend get back to the position of VP, would his teacher ic still trust him on the private and confidential information concerning the cca?

If you are already in the wrong, why bother to explain. Trying to reinstate your friend? Or trying to say to appeal for that action? Pretty clear cut uh.

I know I side tracked, but i just want to know, what could you explain even when you are given the chance?

Explain liao then how? The fact is your friend pass the number. Count himself or herself unlucky to get into this kind of shit.

the bottom line is who have more power

your fren or the DM

take singapore for example, the ruling elite got more power so they can be as corrupt as they want while the peasants just complain

if you/ your fren got more power by knowing someone highup in MOE, then fark up the DM else just take it as it is.

actually. it is certainly wrong to give out other's numbers without consent. but i suppose in a school, exceptions have to be created. one cannot totally deem the giving out of a teacher's number in a school without consent as downright rude.

this exception especially applies if the student knows the teacher(and of course needs the number for schoolwork consultation purposes etc). how many times do you want the subject representative to sms the subject teacher asking if his/hers number can be given to a classmate? wont sian? if you teach 200 students, are you going to reply 200 of those smses?

i guess what the ts's friend did wrong is that he gave the number out to a student whom the DM does not know(and probably has no business with). unless if you know the person ure giving the number to needs to settle some important stuff with the DM(at least you have a valid reason + the DM knows of this person + hence prank calls unlikely), youre much better off keeping the DM's number to yourself. DMs arent usually much fun to play with.

and your friend should have denied all the accusations made by the person whom he gave the number to. just deny everything, no proof anyway, simply let the other shit friend kenna all the hot soup(:

fireng SG

Maybe you would like to refer to MyPillowTalks's post, I quite agree with him.

Imo, everything before entering working society is sorta a "trainning" to u .. Good manners and habits are to be cultivate from young ..

"Bad habits die hard" .. Everyone need to learn, hell i did worst than TS's friend before and i can tell u .. In sec sch i am more rebellious, but now thinking back somethings really do happen for a reason and i am grateful that my DM and teachers piss mi off and punish me.
