"As an alumni of the school this school is absolute rubbish that is so disgusting it cannot be burnt and sent to semakau, instead it belongs in some radioactive wasteland or something. Back when Mr Tay principal things were at least okay, he cared enough. The teachers couldn't care less about student welfare at ALL. The teachers punishments were horrible back in my days, especially with the Amethyst teachers, they'd publicly humiliate students because of their personality (introverted or extroverted), pick favourites, and NEGLECT STUDENTS because they didnt get A for a subject for PSLE (yes this happened, im not kidding).
Back in my time, at least they looked into the bullying cases and made the bully say "Oh I'm sorry" and then gave us a little pat on the back and said "Run along now children!". Hell, even the teachers were bullying the students, my older brother was having a god damned nose bleed and the PE teacher said "Don't waste my time." Even when my parents emailed the school and told them the situation, the teacher never apologised directly, nooo all he said was a "If you ever need any help, please approach me." THAT'S ALL. teachers also name called my friend multiple times, calling her a baby for crying and scolding her in front of the whole class. (this was my form teacher btw).
Now, the situation is even WORSE, they don't look into any bullying cases even when there's physical assault involved, they give parents false hope that they'll do something to help when they do absolutely NOTHING, and from my understanding the teacher still LOVE to pick favourites. My little brother was CHOKED by a floorball stick and had his lunchbox stepped on and belongings swept off a table. Yes, I admit, my brother is no saint. He completes homework in class and just refuses to do work sometimes, he's also annoying as all living hell, but is this really a justified punishment?
They still pick the absolute WORST people to become perfects and I understand why. Why wouldn't the teachers want a mini them roaming around school grounds?
There's a Chinese saying that goes "ζεΎεΏ
ζε€±οΌζε€±εΏ
ζεΎ.β meaning when theres wins there must be loses and vise versa.
Of course, there will always be diamonds in the rough. There will always be wonderful teachers even in the most dire of situations just trying their best. The two that come to my mind are Mr Ariffin and ζθεΈ. They are truly wonderful teachers that go above and beyond for their students. They have insane amounts of patience, dealing with squealing immature kids everyday while trying not to blow up and people who try to make learning fun in general. Thank you for putting so much dedication into every class you teach, and seeing potential in every one of us. We are truly just starfish you guys are picking up and throwing back into the big ocean, giving us a new chances to learn to learn everyday, and reviving our passion in the subject. And I thank you so much for that.
In conclusion: Please don't come to this dumpster fire of school unless you hate your children, then by all means please go ahead.
With little love,
Someone from 6 Jade, class of 2020"
