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

If incompetent, the principal should be replaced.

Was fortunate to have Wijeysingha as HM back then.

 

[standarture]

Lao pengs go back camp, enter bunk, first complaint? Bunk too warm and stuffy. suggest to install aircon. Every year, without fail.

Now there's Wireless@SGx access point in every bunk liao. Aircon could very well be a thing in the future, like long after I MR... Singapore's climate will only continue to get increasingly unbearable, so it's time to start retrofitting for the future.

Actually many camp commander want to add aircon but mindef doctrine doesnt allow.

 

[Ironside]

They are not the only school with aircon. HCI classrooms too and I'm sure there are others

These and other privileges are normal in elite schools.

 

[TheApathetic]

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

Singaporean in neighbourhood school only pay $5-$6 school fees in secondary school which to me is as good as not paying anything.


https://www.moe.gov.sg/news/press-r...and-government-aided-schools-for-2024-to-2026

"School fees for Singapore Citizen (SC) students in Government and Government-Aided schools will remain the same. SC students do not need to pay monthly school fees for Primary School, and pay monthly school fees of $5 and $6 for Secondary School and Pre-University respectively."

Pathetic students, no air con and made to wear full school uniform for 4 days a week also complain until like that. Pathetic

Almost as if because the upgrading budget would eat into their pay raises...

While they're in camp, they whole day sit inside aircon office. End of day, don't even stay in; can go home sleep in their own bed and turn on aircon. Even if they stay in, they have a bed ready in their aircon office. It's not like they'd experience the daily discomfort.

 

[ribena.bing]

Me? I didn't kaopei anything, so please don't put words into my mouth. Just merely trying to point out about inequality here.

Mmm okay. Sorry if i misunderstood you

But since when were we equal?

They are students trying to study. They pay higher school fees. They excel in their studies

Why no aircon? Scientific research has shown that airconditioning improves office workers and students performance at work and school respectively.

If we enjoy airconditioning at work to improve our efficacy, why not schools? This principal very rubbish

Because this Aaron is always trying to improve things, he has many enemies among his staff. They use the students' petition to oust him.

Who leaked those recordings of CCS last time? Has he been caught already?

Officer room has Aircon?

 

[mastermember]

The student union or leader that initiated the petition sure kena target

 

[TheApathetic]

mostly edusave money. not their money.

Nonsense, edusave where got so much money in it. $300 per month * 12 months * 6 years means at least $18k

also take a look at the RI website, school fee is paid using cash or giro.

[Nuclear Boy]

So what's their alternative for removing aircon?

Moving all students into uniform made from Uniqlo's AIRism fabric?

 

[seowbin]

Last time moi sec sch, all sec 4 have Aircon. Lol

My result still sucks

Even LKY thought so, and got aircon installed in govt buildings. It does improve productivity. As long don't set too cold.

The heat-producing computers like it too. Same goes for modern armoured vehicles with all the electronics onboard. Having aircon is a nice side-feature for the crew and troopers onboard.

 

[tuxguy]

Wah, cannot offend future masters of sg leh

What sch and how long ago?

Don't sound like neighbourhood beng school...

 

[seowbin]

10+ years ago liao

The sch changed name to chung cheng Yishun

 

[Courage]

Having aircon doesn't only benefit students but the teachers too. They are the ones standing in front of the class teaching

 

[spinning_quirK]

The leaders of the country should lead by example and have the Aircon in their offices and meeting rooms removed.

Cannot! They mugged their 10 Yr series, gotten their As so as to deserve their aircon offices! Aircon is to be earned not given.

 

[deathan9el]

next time will be of what?

openly riot?
