Parents have failed miserably in teaching their children what is respect |

(The following was crafted in response to the viral video of a Northbrooks Secondary School relief teacher who countered a rude student by blasting expletives back in kind during class; the student had initially mouthed off the vulgar Hokkien term used to reference a female's genitalia.) As a tutor and relief teacher in this industry for 10 years, I understand the frustration of this teacher. The general discipline of students is atrocious nowadays. Student behave like mice when they are alone by themselves but turn into wannabe gangsters when they are together with their classmates. Students nowadays would also blatantly refute their teachers even though they are wrong in the first place. When I saw someone spat over the railings and chided him, he stared at me and had the gall to insist that he didn't spit. He continued by "advising" that I should have my eyes checked and malign him. Say what???!!!! Parents have failed miserably in teaching their children what is respect and we as a community should not be overly quickly to blame the teacher. It's definitely not easy to be a school teacher these days. |
