[GLGT] RI students unhappy with proposed changes petition to oust principal

[ToonBlue]

Can MOE minister explain why RI has air con in the first place? Why they so special?

 

[Philipkee]

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

Wrong example. If you are too 1% taxpayer taking an mrt, you are like the normal passenger. Got seat or not is up to chance. If you are taking a super luxury tour bus, yes you can complain if no seat

but reverse also happens. If you are poor student who eked his way to RI, you also don’t deserve to be discriminated

 

[TheApathetic]

these are the ELITES, u expect them to study without aircon?! U kidding?!?! Lowly educated neighborhood schools do not need aircon because they will not amount to anything anyway but RI ELITES needs to study in comfort

Neighbourhood school students don't even pay school fees.
RI students pay 3 digit school fees per month.
big difference right there

 

[Can Or Not]

The elites deserve not only the best…
But the best of the best… anything less is not acceptable…

They are the Cream de lah Cream…

Remove Education Minister for removing Aircon!

Hmmmm? How come no need to pay? U on simi assistance?

 

[Nekorare]

Ah, to be young and filled with idealism

 

[Money no have]

Erm exactly why they chose that school in the first place?

 

[reiser]

Tekong is tekong
School is school.
students from RI pay the school few hundred $ school fees per month if i am not wrong.

If you can get into RI via the PSLE route, that means your results are good enough to qualify for the scholarship that pays off the monthly school fees. They just need to pay the few hundred miscellaneous fees every six months. However, if your results do not qualify for the scholarship, you have to pay the monthly school fees and miscellaneous fees.

I feel that their indignance is valid. They studied so hard to get into the school. They deserve the privileges that come with their hard work.

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.

Wah. Cue Chen he ti tong

need to call SOF or not

 

[Nakshatra]

if can install smart meter on the aircon circuit, can charge on a per use basis.

up to the students to plan it out, part of learning how to organise, budget and management of facility.

Why so "karate chop" kind of decision making at the top?

 

[LemonSalmon]

Petition to support the principal to remove all aircons and fans in RI!

Not a good school quick to develop entitled mentality students. Even the Griffon must come down from its perch.

 

[s-ghost]

what a good school to go to

 

[Ironside]

It is not right that some schools have air con class room and other don't.

 

[sAVaGEmP5]

In b4 all schools are good schools ...

Those low ses sch everyday chitchat, playing w handphone n waiting to go home play while RI students fighting for rights n thinking at a national unity level... Sound abt right elites !
