Monday with the Editor: The Teacher's Dilemma

Click logo to start tour

Mdm Kang's Kitchen Chilli Crab

  Hi

  Today marks the start of the GCE 'N' Level examinations in Singapore. Primary and secondary schools also commence their End-Of-Year examinations for students of all levels of education.

  So this week is when the hard work of the teachers finally pay dividends in that students who have been attentive in class and have done their assignments regularly are likely to do well in their examination papers.

  The job of a teacher is indeed not an easy one - having to manage a class as well as to produce results at the end of the year. Those teachers who have been fortunate to teach the EM1, EM2 and the Express Streams should count themselves lucky, for they need only worry about getting their students into gear for the exams. For the rest of the teaching profession, getting through to the end of the day at school has become quite a challenge.

  Why is that so? Students in the EM3, Normal Academic and Normal Technical streams are a demanding lot. Much time and effort need to be spent just getting order back into the class. There are many students who are just not interested in getting an education. Their minds are far away. They are preoccupied with handphones, SMS and whatever other dreams that may infest their minds. They also come to school to have fun in the classrooms. What type of fun? For starters - wetting their classmates with water from their water bottles; throwing rolled-up paper balls at each other, and also at their teachers; wrestling; and stealing out of the classroom when the teacher's back is turned. 

  And while they are having fun, teachers who get in their way are rudely accosted. Instances of such students throwing chairs in the direction of their teachers are becoming common place in secondary schools.

  There are many students in the Normal Academic and Normal Technical streams who always want to have the last word. These students do not think twice about insulting their teachers and staring at them. Any teacher worth his salt will know that already and most likely will have to get the vice-principal or the principal to come in with the cane to settle the matter.

  But caning is only a temporary solution. The students are back to their naughty selves within a day or two. So what has happened to discipline in schools?
