Perhaps the most controversial rumour is the potential removal of air-conditioning from certain school areas, a move that has sparked widespread concern about student comfort and learning effectiveness in Singapore's heat.

"I don't understand the air-con removal. It's true that students from most schools don't have it, but do you think they don't complain about the heat?" read one comment on Reddit.

"I think most will agree it's more conducive to study in a comfortable environment where you're not sweating.

"RI students are very lucky to have air-con. So why the need to remove it? Does it promote national unity for all students to suffer in the heat together?"

Other reported changes, including a restructuring of the Gap Semester Programme, a shift to the SLS learning platform and unconfirmed reports of teacher resignations, have further ruffled student feathers.

can't imagine once these spoilt strawberries enter NS, will cause mental health issues or not

Who leak the internal meeting report they not happy can always apply to change school.

The alleged changes, reportedly leaked from internal meetings, span curriculum adjustments, CCA restructuring, policy shifts and even facility modifications.

tbf they pay at least $300 or more for monthly school fees while government schools monthly school fees less than $50

if already pay so much, they deserve better

If I'm the top 1% tax payer.. am I suppose to have a confirmed seat at public transport at peak hrs..

Just saying only... shldnt be that way bah

Hope these RI students 10 years later take revenge on all these nonsense ppl...

If I open new school with full air con facilities including aircon sports field then only admit top students, will become better than RI a not?

Does it mean families with money can buy comfort for their children to study better and get better grades and those poor ones have to suffer and do well against the odds?

Yes

You speak as if parents arent sending their children for enrichment classes, tuition, sports classes, moving homes to be nearer to branded schools

Then you come and kaopei about aircon...

 

[Courage]

From high SES to low SES

 

[Callow Guy]

If the aircon is already there.. why pay extra $$ to remove it?

The harsh truth? Yes.

wanna tok about simi "equality"? Can.... nuclear bomb drop down loh. Most equal liao - everyone die.

but wait, even if nuclear bomb drop down, oso got difference. If u are dead centre, u die without realizing it. If u are at the edge of the concentric circle of utter destruction, u die a horrible and painful, drawn out death.

so, yah. Even die also not exactly equal.

It all starts from young, this is why comments like "get out of my elite uncaring face" exists. They believe as elites they should be treated differently, some of them will end up going the scholar path and become your governing body.

Aaron Loh is one of the best principals that I have ever met. Because he is always trying to implement new things, sometimes his staff are unhappy to take risks or do more work. It is ridiculous that students are trying to oust the principal. Really strawberry. Sad day for Singapore schools.

 

[vangug]

i'm actually with the students for this... since the enhancement already exists for their benefit... why is there a need to spend money to remove them just for them to suffer? for creature comforts... other schools should be brought up to speed to what RI has to equalize treatment instead... why bring every school down to the same lower denominator?

得罪有錢有權的人的下場。。。

 

[buttbERry]

actually install liao why remove?

otherwise, MOE won't agree to such a school being built.
