This school really...I got no words... Probably really proud of their "digitisation" 😡 Ironically, the teachers themselves will bring work home because they cannot detach from their work.

Must WhatsApp and entertain queries after evening hours. Self pwn yes, cos teachers also appreciate and wanna make use of the convenience. let's say just after sch teacher remember next day Math lesson need to refer to textbook, but he didn't tell class beforehand. Then just drop one msg in group chat, students are considered informed liao... or else is call students one by one to tell... and take note, the kids got peer pressure one hor. whatever said and done, they also have their self-pride however young they are. If they are in a clique of let's say 5 closer classmates, then if 4 got their own mobile, but 1 dun have, he will sure feel a sense of inferiority among the 'gang', which is not healthy. This is sad but true. Last time my friend said they didn't want to give their kid phone yet (think in sec 1), but need to go tuition on her own and they like her to be contactable, so gave her an old nokia just to make calls... that was when her other classmates/friends already had smart phones. Wah, when one day the parents called, the girl didn't even answer and left the phone in the bag... cos it was paiseh to be using such old stuff in front of her peers... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
