As a parent, what would you do if you discover the the teacher of your Secondary 3 daughter wrote the word "IDIOT" next to a wrong answer in a test.
In Singapore, the peeved mother called the principal for an explantion and intends to bring the matter to the Ministry of Education. She felt that her daughter's self esteem had been distroyed. She claimed that her teacher called her daugther a potential "Ah Lian" ( check wikipedea for defination).
The principal verifed the facts & counselled both the student & teacher. He asked the mother to forgive the teahcer as he had been a good, passionate teacher who only want her student to change for the better.
The teacher had apologised to the student and clarified that what he meant was that the answer was idiotic not the student.
The student is undergoing counselling for matters unrelated to this incident....
In your country, would you do what the Singapore mother did?
What would you do? I grieved at our society!!!
