Student in School, whose responsibilty?
-
My friend daughter ran away from school during recess time and did not go back. The school want to suspend her as this is not the first time. My friend asked the school, when a student go to school and something happen, isn't the school responsible for the child? It happen a few time yet the school does nothing to stop it, now for convenient, they want to suspend the child... for those teacher and principle or people working in MOE, wish to hear your comment ....

the student chose to run away from school. how can the school be responsible?
-
ya lor school is not jail leh. how old your dotter ?
-
what does the age of his daughter got to do with his friend's daughter?
-
if i kill a child in my school.. its the school's fault? nope..
it is the school's fault when the thing that happened is caused by the school or its property. for example, during a flag raising ceremony, an innocent child raising the flag gets killed because the flag pole toppled on him -
oops i mean how old is the kid who run away. if beri young like pri 1 or 2 maybe the sch shd take some precautionsOriginally posted by dragg:what does the age of his daughter got to do with his friend's daughter? -
ok.there is always two ways to looking at this thing. It is either the school is taking the easy way out or the school is doing the right thing by disciplining the child. Well, u can always confront the principal by saying that you're unaware of the situation and just be plain freaked out because the school can't be bothered to go after the run away child.
Yes, you're right to say that it is the school's responsibilty when the child is in school. Whatever happens to your child during school hours is covered by the school.
However, it is also right for them to say that ur child broke the school rule -
i think both parties are responsible....
it's the girl's fault to run away, and the school should so sth abt their security system liao since the girl can easily escape school? that means someone outside can also easily comes in -
Yeah, the school responsible, chain her to the table from now on, suspend her canteen breaks, escort her to the toilet when necessary.
-
actually as long as the student is in the school premises the responsibility lies with the school. but if the student runs out of the school and something happens it is she4hui4de4cuo4.

the child is in lower seconday leh... The thing is I see my son school closes the main gate all the time... so for a student to leave school un-noticed is not likely. But hor, I feel my friend got a point la ... if the school close the gate, child cannot just run away so easy ma.. I feel for my freind because as parent we want the best for our childre... so with this kind of problem that I never come across, I don't know how to advise that why come here to seek view leh ...

I'm surprised that if it is not the first time since the student played trunt, the school did not even bother to inform the parents when the student is absent without a valid reason.
-
maybe so many run away from that school that they cant do a proper count!!

I am aghast.
A lower secondary student managed to evade detection from the numerous security cameras put up in schools to deter terrorists.
What are kids being taught in schools nowadays? -
the security in charge of monitoring the security cameras dont look out for students, only terrorists. that's why he did not bother to report. if he has to monitor students he need an increment!!!Originally posted by charlize:I am aghast.

tell this to the security guard.Originally posted by charlize:Terrorists cannot dress up as girl students ahl? -
you seriously can't expect the security guards to do much as they are mostly the elderly.. some schools don't even have security guards and the custodians act as the "security guards".. lmaoOriginally posted by dragg:tell this to the security guard. -
So from the posts I can only assume everyone agree that the school is not responsible for the missing child when she is sent there lor ....
-
shouldnt there be little kiddy prefects at the gate watching??
sch at fault no doubt but the student is at fault too.
sch has right to punish student but if no measures has been taken to prevent another situation like this, sch should be punished too. -

I don't think the school should be responsible on the freedom of movement of the child.Originally posted by ORIGAMIST:So from the posts I can only assume everyone agree that the school is not responsible for the missing child when she is sent there lor ....
However, I think the school should be concerned enough that she has been skipping classes and inform the parents of her misbehavior.
Did the school punish the student?
Did the school inform the parents by telephone or in writing about the studet has been skipping school?
Did the school arrange for a meeting with the parents about the problem of the student skipping school?
If they did all of the above and suspend the student as a last resort, I think that is reasonable. -
I think the school did la, or else how my friend come to know, but when they meet i, it is like the last resort... ready to give suspension letter.... so the arguement as to why school never close gate and let student ran off come to mind.. The school did not reply to this queries and I was told another student did the same thing after all these happening !! Can you imagine, thing had happen and yet they do nothing to prevent another happening ....Originally posted by elindra:I don't think the school should be responsible on the freedom of movement of the child.

it's the girl's own fault for playing truan,. not the school.
they could lock up all the gates but if she wanted to, she could still manage to get out, either by climbing across the gates or simply pulling up the wire fencing.
get your friend to accept the fact that her child can be wrong, and needs some lessons in responsibility.
or if you really want to break it down, the girl is most at fault, followed by the parent for not teaching her the right values. the school should not even come into the equation.
imagine if she tried to leave and the school forcefully detained her, then you'd be here now asking us if the school had the right to do that to your friend's precious daughter.
