i don’t believe in PUBLIC physical or contact punishment. i think it will affect the kids’ self-esteem and confident. that’s why i’m having a hard time deciding (still) whether i should send my kids to chinese schools.

i guess mild punishment is ok, but sometimes we need to find out if the punishment is true or not..in case they lie to escape fr school

XY gets a lot of punishment (stand at a corner, kneel on the chair, tap on her palm - lightly, according to her teacher) in class for talking non-stop. I don’t mind this kind of mild punishment. But it can oni stop her at that time, it won’t stop her from repeating it.

it surely breaks my heart if qiqi kena beat in class. Although she (4yr) is still very pampered in their school (teacher prepares color pencil, no homework), it surely need to get them independent and be responsible for their own belongings. Otwise in Std 1, they will not be able to survive the competition.

as a parent, of coz we dont like other ppl to beat or cane our children, but as a teacher, there must be a valid reason of why they punish our children. i think ur teacher is gd by telling u why she beat ur girl, but 5 times wor, need meh? and then teachersmust know the suitable way to teach children. some kids just dont like the hard approach, or vice versa. and then ur girl didnt wanna tell mayb because she knew she was wrong or naughty in the class, so she didnt dare to tell u lor.. dont worry, children will go back to their parents esp moms, at the end of the day. cheers…

You can always talk to the teacher to find out what happen in school. I always do that because when my children tells me story, it will always be a different version.
