He was caught after his messages praising her beauty were forwarded
to the whole school
HE SAID she had sexy legs and told her that she was pretty. Then he
told her he was attracted to girls from her former school.
Flirty conversation between two adults? No, this exchange was
between a 28-year-old male teacher from Tampines Junior College and
a 17-year-old student.
He was caught after the messages were forwarded to the whole
school. He was hauled up by the college principal, counselled and
given a verbal warning.
It all started with a friendly exchange of messages on the JC's
intranet messaging system between the teacher and the first-year
arts student, formerly from Tanjong Katong Girls' School.
But soon, the messages became more than just friendly chat.
Aside from the 'sexy legs' exchange, he asked her if she had a
curfew and if she often went out late at night.
When she told him she was only comfortable with people she knew
well, he compared her to a new car which has to be warmed up first
before it could function. He also asked her to go with him to buy
school supplies.
The student told The Sunday Times that she thought the teacher was
just being friendly when he started messaging her. She suspected
something was not right only when he started commenting on her legs
and her looks. She said she continued messaging him because she did
not want to offend him.
'But when he asked me out, I stopped messaging him totally,' she
said.
It might have ended there but the girl forgot to log off after
using a school computer to check her messages on April 13.
Another student using the same computer later chanced upon her
messages and read them out of curiosity.
Said the second-year science student: 'I realised that the teacher
was doing something very wrong. I thought he should be exposed.
That's why I decided to save the messages.'
He also forwarded them to his classmates and the messages, dated
from March 31 to April 9, ended up being passed on to almost every
student in the school, causing an uproar and a 'student-teacher
scandal'.
College principal Goh Hwee Choo told The Sunday Times she has
counselled the teacher three times and also gave him a verbal
warning. But she added that she wanted to give the teacher, who has
been with the school for a year, a second chance.
She said: 'As a new teacher, he might be a little naive about how
to conduct himself professionally. His comments were not right but
there was no physical relationship between him and the
student.'
The Ministry of Education (MOE) said it was leaving it to the
school to handle the matter but added that had there been any
physical relationship between the two, it would have investigated
and taken disciplinary action against the teacher.
The teacher told The Sunday Times that he regretted being too
friendly towards the student.
'There was no ill intention on my part but I should not have been
over-friendly towards any student,' he said. 'From now on, such
over-friendliness will stop.'
The JC girl said the issue had not only affected her studies, it
had also affected her social life. She described how schoolmates
talked behind her back and some had even approached her friends to
ask for details.
She told her parents when rumours about her began circulating
throughout the school. Said her mother: 'I was shocked when I heard
about it. As a teacher, he should be protecting the
students.'
The student said she planned to avoid the teacher in future and
regretted not reporting him to the school.
She said: 'I didn't want to blow up the matter and attract
unnecessary attention. But now I know that if a teacher crosses the
social boundaries, we should report it to the principal
immediately.'
