Watch the following video grabbed from Youtube. A sad situation, involving female student and a teacher in a secondary school. Of course, this is just one of the many unreported cases.

Violence, sex, and indiscipline are all "polluting" our education system of late. So what went wrong? The system? The stakeholders – teachers, school, ministry? The parents? Coming up with a plan is not enough when the execution lack direction and enforcement. Your thoughts?

    the world is slowly getting out of control… i think schools should incorporate classes on kindness and get rid of lessons like history and moral classes

    The parents that’re too busy. I stayed at a campus and I can see a lot of girls that are.. Well, it includes boys as well. You can just tell if someone have busy parents or not. Those that don’t or have caregivers are more well mannered compared to some. Maybe I’m generalizing, but it’s kinda sad la, these young generation. They have no respect to everyone surrounding them, including themselves.

    I agree wit amran.

    Again, when something happen, we must listen to both side of story before we can judge.

    Although we all claim d student shouldn’t kick the teacher but somehow I saw the teacher slap the student merciless with book. The student just defend herself…

    Although the student write “boar…” or something in the homework…..again, why must the student want to do so?

    Could it be the student couldnt cope up with her work and feel stress?
    OR the teacher is being Racist?

    We didn;t know unless we heard both side of the story…
    Yes, i agree the student shouldnt kick the teacher but then, i also feel the teacher shouldnt slap the student.
