School Uniform Is NOT the Reason
Posted by: Fahmi05
As a teacher, I have to disagree with the statement on the school uniforms being the cause for immoral acts of boys. UTTER NONSENSE!!!
Look around you and examine the current social situation in our country. How the girls dress outside school hours is umpteen times more sexy and revealing than their school uniform. In fact, when I was in school we were still wearing pinafore (which are actually less revealing than the baju kurung. The baju kurung was only making its appearence as a school uniform then. From then until now, it had never been made into an issue. This is because it is a NON-issue.
BE REALISTIC!!! Students as young as the age of 8 years old are exposed to all sorts of pornographic material (a fact garnered by primary school teachers), students are influenced by indecent way of dressing particularly from our eastern neighbours (don’t only blame the west for all ill in the nation), and many other woes of the youth today have nothing to do with schools.
Another thing to consider is the moral values of the men / boys said to have turned rapists. One thing I realise is that the majority of the so-called offenders are MALAYS (I’m a Malay myself but I don’t blind myself to realities of life). These people do not have strong religious grounding or do not practise the religion as they should. Why? It goes back to the family background. As do most discipline problems in school. It goes back to their upbringing although we teachers bear the brunt of societies wrath at these students.
People question what teachers do at school that they cannot mould the students. GO BACK AND ASK THE PARENTS WHAT THEY HAD BEEN DOING DURING THEIR CHILDREN’S FORMATIVE YEARS (between the ages of 2 and 5 or 6) when most values are instilled. DON’T blame teachers!!!
What I can say is, well said and totally agreed. What is all this nonsense about school uniform lah, teachers don’t know how to teach lah and all these crap. If you tell me school uniform is the cause then the whole country is full of young rapist, or maybe you are just trying to say that if you go around raping people in school uniform, then you can sue these girls for wearing school uniforms and while you go scot free and continue your raping spree.
Another point that I like which was this writer brought up is family education. What the hell are you concerned about discipline when you freaking let your own child climb all over you, step you on the head and shit in your face. You make up excuses to not teach your child and when teachers do you a big favour by teaching them respect and all other values a human should have… you go and sue them stating they are some lunatic for slapping or caning their child. Another big utter nonsense.
If they were so precious then why not hire your own tutor from overseas or even oxford to teach them. I have been through my years with caning and even public caning which has shaped me and all the people around me. Even those that we top notch thugs in school has become useful souls in the society, but look at what is happening now. Parents sue teachers for disciplining them, child sues parents for slapping them and in the end there are more useless than the worst thugs back then.
Next time think again when you intend to spare the rod… or complaint about a teacher. Think what have you done to not create your own monster than what other have done to your monster. Of coz there are those that still holds the invaluable values that should be instilled in everyone and those are the respected ones.
Big standing ovation for this teacher!!!
Another thing that annoyed me very recently is the petrol price. I’m not talking about the freaking 78 cents rise but the people that queued like hours just waiting for petrol and also those who drive from Kedah to Kelantan just to fill a tank of petrol.
I’m not saying saving is not good, but look at it, the amount of petrol and time you waste while waiting to fill a tank does not justify. You waste time and skipped meals which damage your own body. Your car emits hazardous gas and stuff that endangers everyone in the world. All that for may be RM 56 if you have a 70 liter tank like mine.
The worst is you caused a freaking jam right at the exit of my housing area and almost caused me to be late for my midnight work!!! And believe me the money you earn per hour is definitely more than what you are wasting there waiting and endangering others.
