  It seems that nowadays, an isolated case can tarnish the school's reputation.People are too quick to generalise.

  There's one thing that really pisses me off about secondary school..it's like EVERY SINGLE thing the students do will tarnish school's reputation..so is school's reputation more important than the well-being and academic results of students? Seems like students' feelings usually neglected because schools care more about their reputation than trying to understand the kids..

  Agreed, but it's an Asian way of thinking and tradition. The basic unit of society is the group, not the individual. So, when one guy screws up, effectively, the whole group screws up. It's stupid to apply it in this case.
