Being a student myself in a Sec Sch, I know of a handful of
girls who club, drinking there and smoking there as well. Though
I'm already 18, I've not stepped into any clubs, pubs yet as I'm
not interested and because of it being smoking environment as I'm a
non-smoker.
Seriously, TS should be glad that it's the teacher who's trying to
find out those students who're in unlawful deeds rather than wait
and not take actions until a police report is faxed to the school.
The teacher may be concerned for the student and hence trying to
counsel them first before they get into any trouble.
Whenever a student is caught committing unlawful acts, a police
report will be submitted to the school. When it happens, the form
teacher have to meet the HOD of Discipline to write a report. The
VP, P will be notified and they've a report to submit to MOE and
the District Principal. It's alot of paperwork for just a misdeed
committed. Sometimes, the police might ask the school to give a
testimony on the student's academy performances and behaviour in
school if the offender is hauled to court. If the school is nice,
they may attempt to save the offender by writing a nice testimony
and getting the teacher to speak to the Police Officer in-charge.
Or, they can simply follow the SOP and submit every single details
of the offender to the police and offender will get lesser chances
of being given another chance by the judge.
I know I sounds as if I'm condemming TS, but actually is to let TS
know what's happening in school, between the MOE and SPF as well.
Teenages like us may disobey certain instructions because we
doesn't like to be controlled by adults. But sometimes, it's good
to understand what happens behind the scene and try to put yourself
in the adult's shoe.
