Complains on Bloggers...
-
Okie guyz... i'm kinda sick of people complaining abt bloggers who rants like nobody's business. truely, everyone has their own troubles to rant isn't it? I find it rather ridiculous to stop them from voicing out and getting the load off their chest.
Instead i find it a healthy thing to do. Because blogging one's rants can make one feel better in the end after voicing out in an account they've created for themselves.
Look, there's no need for easily offended people or complainers to continue reading what they write. If they're not happy about it, they can always shut down the whole damn computer.
Yea, today there's another case abt teachers geting flamed by students. Okie, I think on the students' point of view is that they are trying to vent their frustrations. Did they ever take it out on their teachers in front of them? NO!!! Therefore, I don't see the teachers (again, another egg membrane) whose skins are so damn thin, to report such matters as this would only make things worse. And oh, abt the racist remarks, yes. They're VERY unreasonable and should be punished.
Can we guyz as locals stop this complaining culture. If everyone's right in their own eyes, I wonder who's wrong.
You may voice ur opinions here. Dun have to agree with me, but at least show some consideration in ur post.
Serious matter here... I mean, do u think this is getting too much? -

Blame it on the overpowering style of legalistic hammering as practised by the people up there.Originally posted by The Emperor:true.

i think teachers who go and find students' blog and then punished them because of what's written on their blogs is utterly wrong!! who never curse their teachers in silence or bad mouth behind them before??? liddat u're telling us can't even think bad about teachers liao.
who never get together with friends and talk bad abt teachers?? why when this happens nobody say anything?? and no one bothers to even find out what they say?? when they do it online then say. it's like teachers are eavesdropping on what students are saying, invading their privacy and space.
Issit safe to talk to yourself anymore??? -
the prob is that if we keep blaming here and there, it's not going to do any good.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Blame it on the overpowering style of legalistic hammering as practised by the people up there.
y blame one another when we can simply learn to understand one another in a positive way? -
a combination of thin-skinned + anal-retentive people + control freaks + insecure folks with some guilt + a huge sense of pride.Originally posted by The Emperor:the prob is that if we keep blaming here and there, it's not going to do any good.

We should look beyond this student-teacher issue. I find Singaporeans in general are a petty lot. Before blogging became cover story material, I'm sure every local blogger has been flamed at least once and I suspect most of these flamers are local and not even bloggers in the first place.
I agree that blogging is a healthy outlet for expression. We should encourage it and not censor it. For those very few bloggers who have gone overboard (like inciting extremism, terrorism, racism, etc) they should be counselled. If not for blogging, we wouldn't know that there's racism in the current generation!
I think it's the Singaporean mentality to live in this ideal facade where any bad things are swept under the carpet. As they say, if you don't talk about the problem, there is no problem. -
see my nick straightaway know singaporean.
i'm quite patriotic one... -

That's the main reason...

This is my point of the view with regards to the teachers complaining about students' blogs:
I do agree that teachers might be a bit petty for complaining about such stuff. But think about what will happen if the teacher continues to have an "ignorance is bless" idea. The students will keep blogging about how this teacher is so bad and so stupid etc etc, and it might result in the other students of the class, even though they might be neutral towards the teacher, to join the student and join forces against the teacher. You know how peer pressure and group mentality is like.
In the end, it might result in the whole class going against the teacher, even though one student have valid complaints about the teacher. What'll happen to the teacher and the class that he/she is continuing to teach? Can the teacher still be able to properly teach a class that has gone against him/her?
Teachers' job are getting harder. Let's not allow events that will make their job even harder to happen..... *sighz*
P.S: There is a high chance I might be a teacher in future. I must say that the current student culture is really different from when I was a student at that particular level. I do wonder whether I have the ability to handle these "wild monkeys" in the event I do become a teacher..... *sighz*
P.P.S: starblue, any opinion? -
wah. why cool pinpoint for my opinion??
anyway, if this concerns teachers being Bitched about in cyberspace where everyone can see it, then i cannot blame teachers for being sensitive towards it. i mean come on. i (speaking in the shoes of a teacher) work so hard to plan my lessons, and tolerate all kinds of sht from you students and still manage to restrain myself from throwing that blackboard duster in your face that afternoon lesson and swallow all the colour adjectives that i itch to adorn you with... and you go around demining the teacher's worth.
get the hell out of school lah, you bozo student. who wants to teach you anyway you ungrateful maggot.
ahem.. yah, that is wad i will probably say if the teacher mentioned in the blog was me... although that will be quite unlikely, cos i am such an adorable cute little teacher....

You got experience mah....Originally posted by starblue:wah. why cool pinpoint for my opinion?? -
Self-restrain and control is the best censorship for blogosphere community, not through legal and authority means.
You can "shoot" a person in your blog, but always "shoot" with TRUE facts. So even if the guy sues you for defamation, he or she can't do anything.
Anyway, a blogger has to be responsible for his or her words. He or she should be sensitive to readers, but of course, you can't possibly satisfy everyone. All things have left and right. But just make sure your blogging is right, not wrong, base on real facts.
Readers too have to know that, what they read on blogs may be only one-side of the story, not the full one. Reader discretion is advised.
When you blog, you have to be objective and honest.
I think there should be some sense of reponsibility that, if a blogger blogged with anger, in which there are offensive words against an individual, I think there should be a period of time to allow blogger to be responsible themselves to retract these unjust offences and apologise. -
yeah man.. painful experience... so painful i might start to advocate against teaching... cool... be warned...Originally posted by CoolMyth:You got experience mah....
i myself am hesitant to teach for a lifelong career... before you decide to teach, do relief teaching for a few months first. though it is not entirely the same, you can ask the real teachers for their experience. then decide for yourself... nowadays be teacher really bu jian dan.
anyway, back to topic... blogging is a double-edged sword... my friend blogs anti-government comments in a very amusing way... but still, it is anti-government.. dunno what will happen lah...
i never saw the point in telling the whole world my problems, thoughts and feelings. i never blog. -
i wan starblue to be my teecher

sorry, by the time i can come out to teach, and you're still in school, then i wouldnt want to teach you.Originally posted by crazy monkey:i wan starblue to be my teecher -

if you're still in school then, it doesnt matter if you're a good boy. it means your calibre is..... limited.Originally posted by crazy monkey:why ? i'll be good boi -
I thought teachers very busy one? Forum keeps complain teachers got alot to do lah.. so teach less learn more.. have people to help in CCA, outsource school duties etc.
Now they so free? read papers! they type their own name in the search engines! How lame! So free eh?? Why so consious about what others think of them? If it's not blogged, it'll be spread through canteen chat etc anyways!
So teachers should just get back to marking their assignments!
Note: I reckon only a small percentage of teachers actually care about such stuff.. most don care , or so they seem.
I think teachers should have blogs and provide their students their links.. so the students know the teachers will be reading them! -
The recent reports abt schools acting swifting to discipline students who blog about their teachers with profanities has been well covered.
The thing abt blogs is that people tend to reveal their aggressive nature. Anger is usually the first thing they sprout. Biased impressions of people are next and that merely adds fuel to the fire. In a school where one teacher may be ostricised because of over-exaggerated rumours, rumour mills will start going and stories become more far-fetched.
The result is when they hit the blogs, the stories and comments become outright fantasy.
People have been given the right and freedom to express themselves. But they also have to be responsible and mature about it. Stay objective and focus more on mistakes by teachers and how they can better address them.
No student is going to be penalised for that.
