Incident between my friend and BC
-
Come on give some chance for that TH. Young people make mistake must give chance. Expel him out of school, embrass him, cane him would only make him more rebellious.
Tell him he is wrong and if he have pride and esteem, he would not do it again.

THE two schoolboys got up from their seats as the bus was approaching their stop.
But they left something behind on the floor - a disposable cup.
That did not sit well with the bus driver, Mr R Balakrishnan. After pulling over at the bus stop, he stepped out of his cabin and told the boys to dispose of the cup properly.
It ended with one of the boys allegedly punching him in the face before they fled.
The incident happened on SBS Transit bus service 38 at about 2.45pm on Tuesday.
A commuter who witnessed it related his account on Stomp, The Straits Times interactive website, on Wednesday.
The Stomper, who calls himself Danny, also posted a picture of the boys, from Changkat Changi Secondary, after they got off the bus.
Both were in their school uniforms. One of them, who was wearing long trousers, appeared to be taunting the bus driver. His friend was wearing shorts.
In an e-mail reply to The New Paper, Ms Tammy Tan, SBS Transit's vice-president of corporate communications , confirmed the incident.
She said that when the boys had boarded the bus at Simei MRT station, Mr Balakrishnan noticed that one of them had a disposable cup.
Along Bedok South Road, when the students were about to alight, he noticed that they no longer had the cup.
Ms Tan said: 'He politely requested that the boy pick it up and dispose of it in the litter bin at the bus stop.'
The boy picked up the cup and told Mr Balakrishnan that he should take the cup home instead, Ms Tan added.
Mr Balakrishnan returned to his cabin and opened the exit door for the boys.
But as he was alighting, the boy with the cup threw it on the steps of the bus.
When Mr Balakrishnan saw that, he picked up the cup and got off the bus to ask the boy why he had done that, Ms Tan said.
But the boy punched him in the face before running off with his friend.
Mr Balakrishnan chased them but soon gave up as there were still passengers in the bus.
Ms Tan said: 'The boy continued to taunt Mr Balakrishnan and kept asking him to give chase.'
The boy wearing the trousers was believed to be the attacker.
Not seriously injured
When contacted, Changkat Changi Secondary principal Yeow Lee Lin said the two students would be dealt with.
Mrs Yeow said: 'We have identified the students concerned and are also working closely with their parents to provide counselling and guidance to them.
'The students have expressed regret over what has happened. We have also used this incident as an opportunity to educate the rest of the school.'
Ms Tan said: 'We are thankful that our bus captain was not seriously injured. We are in contact with the school and the Ministry of Education.'
SBS Transit said no police report was made.

Since the school went the kinder route, I hope that they did met the driver personally for the apology and reconciliation.

TH got public canning today infront of all the upper sec students(us) during recess assembly.He got 2 strokes and he was also made to read out a public apology to the whole school during the morning assembly.
According to the principal,she said just now that the school would be visiting SBS Transit to apologise through the school's behalf to the BC involved in the incident.
And she said that since the punishment was carried out today,everything is over and settled and that we must forgive and accept TH as part of our family when he returns back to studying as normal again. -
