Should teachers seek to convert pupils?
I AM writing this letter because of some questions posed to me by a friend's daughter, a Primary 6 pupil studying in a local school.
This girl corresponds with her teacher on MSN Messenger and one day while I was surfing, she started asking me about Christianity and Buddhism. I found it strange that she would ask me these questions and not her parents.
Apparently her teacher had been asking her to attend Saturday worship services by The Rock, a Christian church based at Suntec City. A Buddhist, she replied that her parents would probably not let her go for the service.
The teacher told her it was not up to her parents to decide, that she was free to make up her own mind, and kept pressing her to go for his church's service.
I find this disturbing in many ways. For one thing, I feel that teachers should not be communicating with their students on such a personal level outside school. A teacher-pupil relationship should always exist within the parameters of education and the school.
Secondly, I am shocked that the teacher is encouraging his pupil to disobey her parents and listen to him instead. This is not the kind of approach our educators should adopt for impressionable teens.
Thirdly, teachers, as educators and authority figures to be respected in school and in society, should be the ones to inculcate tolerance and respect for other cultures and religions.
As most teachers are young educated adults and they form a large percentage of Christians in Singapore, are they allowed to impose their personal values, morals and principles on their pupils?
Is there any restriction or guide that regulates the relationship between teacher and pupil outside the parameters of the education system?
Are teachers allowed to go on MSN Messenger to communicate with their pupils on any issue and topic?
I would like to know the Ministry of Education's stand on this matter.

if the teacher condemned other religions in front of student, n student willing to testify...yesOriginally posted by crazy monkey:will the teecher be charged under sedition act ? -
a little ironic that the date is children's day

No, it does not promote racism or whatever shit.
But then, it is VERY UNMORAL. The teacher him/herself does not have any right at all to force (yes, force, as you can see the teacher persists in persuading even when denied, even to the point to saying that "the parents have no control over her")
KNN, come on, she so young, and you think it is wise to have NO CONTROL over her? She still have not developed a stable sense of morality, does not know what is right or wrong totally yet, and you ask her to choose her own religion, I don think she even know about Buddhism. -

I believe one day the government will look into this situation and make a stricter law for Christianity.Originally posted by crazy monkey:some christians like to condemn other religions can they be charged under sedition act ? -
The kid's PSLE's coming soon, why add more to her worries? Why is she being encouraged to be defiant? How can her parents trust this teacher anyway?
The only good outcome is that the student is trying to find out more about both religions...but that's a sign she's already troubled. -
If the Christian God is good , he won't let anything happen to the teacher one
If something happens to this christian teacher , then too bad.

You cannot force people to join but only can influenced them on it which they will decide by themself whether one a not

teacher = male
now we know why the male teacher wants the pri 6 female student to go to church. go figure, its not that hard -
If I'm not wrong, teachers are told the OB-markers with regards to religion in their course of the teacher.
Obviously, this teacher has gone past the OB-marker. Sack the teacher! -
