Letter from Caireann O’Neill
I am from one of those “liberal” countries where teachers can’t even talk with a loud voice to students.
The result of such liberalism is that pupils do what they want.
Teachers can’t even control the students because the latter know they can’t be “touched”.
If bad behaviour has no painful repercussions then children think its all right to behave poorly.
To me, the Singapore system is not horrifying. Nowadays children hardly get caned at school and the negative consequences to society can already be observed.
