Teaching the wrong values

When school reopened after the holidays, my son informed me that theives had broken into the schools and stole a few valuable items including a computer, a VCD player, a mini-compo and a few sewing machines.

For a week or so, there was no investigation and the school authorities acted as though nothing had happened.

I was shocked to learn that they did not wish to lodge a police report.

Imagine what the students think of the teachers and school. This is the place where the children are taught to stand up for their rights and wrongs in life.

By not reporting to the police, the school has conveyed the message that it is all right to steal something and nothing will happen after that.

Besides, the police will think this is a crime-free area.
