Hey Guys!!Yes its Damien here again posting and keeping you up to date about the latest happenings in school.
In today's discussion, I present to you a video of a not so respectable teacher in one of Singapore's schools.
Now, you see in this video the teacher using a wonderful variety of english just to reprimand the pupil for not doing her work properly.A little too overboard I would say.She even tore up the article that the student wrote.What kind of behavior is this?
The student in the video labeled a ''Sly, crafty old rat'', by the teacher herself. If this is right of the teacher, then why do we students have our right to criticize taken away from us?The student in the video was not given the chance to explain himself at all.Any attempt at giving an explanation was dismissed by the teacher and that is not the right way of education. It is also the boy's stupidity not to stand up for himself against all the corrupted accusations being hurled at him.We live to fight against what is wrong.Democracy is freedom of the people to do things that will cause no harm to others around them.It is also the power given to the people to stand up against what is wrong. The two characters in the video does not show the democracy that we Singaporeans pledge ourselves to every morning. The teacher abuses her authority over the issue and the student, by not standing up for his right, has encouraged the teacher to continue her abuse.That, mein fellow classmates, is wrong.
Singapore is a democratic society.The people have their rights.(And they also have their rights taken away from them).If we are going to stop having our rights taken away from us.It starts from right now.
Stand up for any wrongs.Lets fight for our rights.
