Actually we should appreciate what the teachers or educators alike are doing for decades. If not for their dedicated service, we may not even have some of todays' Singapore leaders.
Otherwise Singapore may have to import ' foreign talents ' even on the very top. We should say a very big ' thank you ' to all teachers who had in one way or other, contributed to our success.
Not bad lah !! ya......At least, we know how to read, write and earned a roof on our head.
Talking about teachers, yesterday, we read about a 17 year old boy who landed himself in court for abusing his teacher. In case, you missed the news, this is a summary.
The teacher was conducting a chinese class. There was this boy who was listening to a MP3 belonging to the 17 year old classmate. The lady teacher was annoyed and she took away the MP3. The 17 year old boy got furious, approached the teacher, searched her bag, could'nt find his MP3, threw away the bag and scolded his teacher with ' Hokkien Vulgarities '. Few days later, the lady teacher reported the incident to the police and the boy was hauled to court.
What happen finally ?
The presiding judge requested the 17 year old boy to write an apology, either in english or in chinese to apologise.
" APA INI " ?? He should be sent for reformative training instead.
What to do ??
???We can only sympathise with her and hope she would continue teaching inspite of such a serious humiliation.
