Phan Ngoc Hien School for the Gifted – where the incident caused a stir in public opinion

Before that, public opinion was stirred when on the morning of April 18, Mr. LTD., vice principal of Phan Ngoc Hien High School for the Gifted (Ca Mau) went to check on students’ habits. During the examination, Mr. D. discovered that 6 grade 12 students (2 boys, 4 girls) brought food into the classroom.

According to school regulations, students are not allowed to eat in class, so Mr. called these 6 students to the stone bench in front of the school yard to eat.

When going out into the school yard, two male students threw food away. After that, teacher D. I went to check again and saw that 2 male students had no food in their hands, so they asked to go and get it again.

“At that time, Mr. D. didn’t know that the students threw the food in the trash, so he just asked where to put it and eat it,” said Mr. Le Chi Nguyen, Principal of Phan Ngoc Hien High School for the Gifted.

According to Mr. Nguyen, after the incident, Mr. D. had met with the school and students, admitted to being a bit hasty, negligently not checking where students put food, but if they knew, they would not have done so. Mr. D. admitted to the student’s shortcomings.

Many people believe that student education has rewards and punishments, but it should be done honestly and fairly; Punishment so that it is reasonable, the integrity of teachers and students is worth mentioning. School rules do not allow students to eat breakfast in class, the assistant principal reminded that it was correct. But students at the age of 17 and 18, if they know how to respect them, will guide them in a positive way. Here, rigidly, “pushing” the children to sit on the stone benches in the school yard to eat but their friends in the class and the same school can see, it is clear that it is not a humane education.

As an educational administrator who is heavy with authority, it is easy to lose control of emotions, in this case, if the teacher gently notes the incident until the next day, calls the children to their own room, learns the subject matter, and then kindly suggestions, hope they cooperate so that the school is kept green – clean – beautiful. That’s the right way to educate.

After all, teaching children, needing softness, depth, perseverance, is for the sake of dear students. Students also need to be educated to know how to react to things that are not right, to know how to implement culture in the school environment. Okay, new teachers and students grow up together in a happy school.
