The impression forces itself upon one that men measure by false standards,
that everyone seeks power, success, riches for himself, and admires others
who attain them, while undervaluing the truly precious thing in life.

With the caning punishment minimized in school these days, neighbourhood school students from all over this island are getting out of hand. And if such statement isn't enough to satisfy your eagerness for evidence, here are the videos that ought to be e-mailed to the Ministry of Education and the respective schools involved in these incidents.
Here you go: -
Toa Payoh Secondary School Catfights
Northland Secondary School Classroom Fights
.. and if that's not enough, here's another one from a primary school in my assumption, as the students look young and undeveloped.
Unknown Local School Fights and Bullying
Is this what the Ministry of Education want to see from these students? Is this what their parents want to see in their children's behaviour?
After so much of complains made to schools being harsh to students by caning or wacking them, these are what their parents will see as a result of their own children's misbehaviour.
What is the purpose of a school? It's not a homework factory, or an examination ground mind you. It's a place to also nurture students and disciplining them whenever necessary. It's like a babysitting organization while the parents are away working their heart out to pay for their children's education.
You can't blame all these on the teachers if the parents themselves won't cooperate by disciplining their children the right way at home. Teachers are there to guide the students on their academic paths and to instill important values of life into them. Ultimately, the parents are the ones who should be teaching their children the right things.
Then again, I would still like to stress one thing to ALL parents in Singapore. If you're happily married, good for you. But if you want to have children for the sake of having them, DON'T! Don't bother having children if you can't afford to teach them well or bring them up correctly. Don't bother bringing up children if you yourselves are the bad influence in the household and the people around you. Don't even bother having children when your parents and relatives have to force you to have one. All these things will do you no good.
As for the Ministry of Education, I think you dudes over there should think twice when allowing the ban of canings in certain schools. Because when we spare the rod, we'll spoil the child. Spoil the child, and we'll ruin our future.
And MOE, for Christ's sake, you call yourself an organization which provides first-class education? There's still room for improvements unfortunately. Talk is cheap! How cheap are you? And how cheap is that?
