Considering this school is one of the worst schools in Britain, I'm amazed at how patient the teachers are. If you want to know how bad, the school hire police officers to control the students. However there are mutual respect and trust between teachers and students and generally teachers seem to have a good relationship with students. In Asia we are too scared of teachers that we don't even dare to answer/ask questions in class. I remember when I was in school if my question was too 'dumb' the teacher would make fun of me and the whole class would laugh at me. If my answer was wrong, the teacher would punish me. Teachers in Asian countries also tend to ignore the fact that some kids come from disadvantaged background e.g. broken home, abusive family. This affected their behavior a lot.

And that itself, is a statement of her love for the school itself... Heard of stories about you that you mentioned... but from your blog, and the personal experience of seeing you in real life... I would say... you can be proud of yourself... you're great for the person you are... you shine because you are genuine... And never be afraid to stand up for what you feel is right Have a nice day :D Hi Jade, from IMU I assume? :D

Hey pinkpau… still remember meeting you in Little Penang with Darren

Whatever they might think, what I saw was a friendly person who had the courage to stand up to take up the duty as the SSG alumni Vice President…

And that itself, is a statement of her love for the school itself…

Heard of stories about you that you mentioned… but from your blog, and the personal experience of seeing you in real life…

I would say… you can be proud of yourself… you’re great for the person you are… you shine because you are genuine…

And never be afraid to stand up for what you feel is right

Have a nice day :D
