In Secondary School, The discipline Master would continuously blare on the megaphone "Education is not your right. It is a privilege."Originally posted by polarsnake:From the replies, it seems that it's always the pri school teachers that exert cruel punishments. Hmmm... I wonder if their taking advantage of our
simple-mindedness...
Originally posted by Aphrael:oh the other hand as described above soem of the physical punishments were pretty bad and extreme, well the verbal thingy is jsut a matter of carrying the thing too far btu i do know that verbal abuse if done correctly is indeed detrimental to the child
i really want to ask hor.....when were all your bad experiences?! 10, 15 years ago?
yeah, sure, i got slapped in pri 5 (more than 10 years ago, of course) for making a mistake in adding up...
BUT someone (sori, forgot ur name!) is right when he said that students nowadays are well-protected, [b]too well-protected for their own interests.
teachers now know better than to lay a finger on the student, who will complain to their parents/MOE about physical abuse, molest etc...
i suppose moderate physical fitness punishments are ok, u know, they will build up ur stamina blah blah blah
but no longer all those "torture" punishments. MOE will always side with students, n like what someone said earlier, suspend or fire the teacher.
i don't mind telling u all that i'm saying this cos i was a teacher in sec sch once.
besides detention n lecturing, there's nothing else teachers can do to students. we can't even use the word "stupid" cos we will "hurt our students' self-esteem" and this is "verbal/emotional abuse" to the student.
on the other hand, there are no restrictions to what students can do to the teacher i.e. name-calling, scolding/being very rude n defiant to teachers. And no one thinks that teachers are suffering from verbal abuse nearly every day.
Having no effective method to discipline students, that's why teachers have to come up with creative, non-physical ways of punishment.
granted some teachers are purely unreasonable/unkind etc, as for the rest, pls think about why u were punished in the first place.
