Further to my earlier post about parenting - here's a story to share.
A Secondary Three boy, member of a school's basketball team, was caught using his mobile phone during an Elective Programme by the external contractor.
She reported this to the teacher who was assigned to monitor them who then confiscated his mobile phone as per the school rules.
The boy was upset and kicked a chair, in the direction of the external instructor.
No apology was made to the external instructor. Apparently the boy informed his teachers he had apologised.
This is the end of the school term and the boy will not be in school until 2019 and the external instructor ends the 'course', leaves the school and this issue will be 'forgotten'.
This is the quality of life today.
Until common courtesy is taught to children by their parents, even teachers are being taken for a long ride.
Whatever the world wants to label this generation, it's gravely incorrect. This is not Generation Z but Generation 'I don't care'.
Does it matter that they were born when the internet was flourishing and social media is rampant? It doesn't because parenting is as constant as the Northern Star. Parents model and teach their children so that they do not become a nuisance to others. Instead of taking full advantage of technology and it's perks to heal the world so that more after us can enjoy our beautiful Earth, these children are running wild and damaging people. I'm not saying all is bad. But the few, is enough to make others shake their heads in disgust.
I rather the world just fade away than imagine the parented having to put up with the nonsense of these few.
This story is just one of the many untold and unheard horrors of school-going children. Stealing Koi from ponds, stealing from fishing ponds.....gosh.....no more please.
