FollowConversation with my school-loving Cass yesterday…
Cass – mummy, today A got beaten by the BM teacher for not doing her homework!
Me – Oh no!! Did A cry?
C – no
Me – and what did the teacher say to A for not doing her homework?
C- Cikgu Ch** said “now I beat with ruler. Next time I will beat with rotan!”
Me – ** GASP **
C – I better do my homework now! (and then runs to her school bag to fish out her message book and books with homework to do…
Coming from a Chinese school (high performance school since last year, thus the need to be even stricter) , this is really no big deal where corporal punishment is very common. I was just a tad shocked as I know A and her mother (we made friends on the first few days of school in January). A who is non-Chinese is such a pretty and sweet girl. Poor girl. I hope she learnt her lesson and will remember to do her homework. As for Cass, I just hope that I can remember to check her message book everyday to ensure that she completes all her homework.

I am still amazed, maybe just disappointed that teachers can still hit students! What does this teach the child? Violence is acceptable? Have an irrational fear of authority figures?
