Good Will Hunting


Helping students with questions from beyond our centre is out of goodwill. Our teachers have been helpful to reasonable students who understand that. But parents who made such special requests to our teachers at the start of the lesson and demanded the answers at the end of the lesson, may not realized that they cornered our teachers in a spot. Our teachers' priority is the planned curriculum and their focus is on helping students learn, understand and apply the concept taught during lesson. Such special requests for help would rob classroom time away from all students in class.  
Regardless of the question's level of difficulty, time is needed for the teacher to read, write down the solution and explain to the parent at the end of the lesson.  

Our teachers used to accept special requests for help when presented with handwritten questions from parents and there have cases when our teachers wasted time working on wrongly provided information. Our teachers take pride in their profession and will feel uneasy for not following up immediately.  We will not subject our teachers to be judged and tested under unreasonable demands and situations which is beyond their scope of duty.   We need to close the floodgate and respect the rights of our teachers. 

With immediate effect, our teachers are not to accept any special requests for help on questions from beyond our centre.  We seek the kind understanding and cooperation from reasonable parents.
