malaysian students' additional uniform: handphone

Personally, I against the idea of allowing students to bring mobile phones to schools. I believe schools have enough public phones and in case of emergency, the school management or teachers will be able to contact parents immediately or vice versa.

I certainly hope that there will be no misuse of mobile phone by students to go againts their teachers and other students. Imagine secretly capturing photos or videos while their friends are being punished or teachers punishing or scolding their students, then put them up on their blogs or distributing them through mms.

School management must be very strict on this matter and not to allow students hiding behind their desks sms-ing while the teacher is teaching in front of the class. Also never allow them to disrupt the class(es) or any part of the school with those irritating ringing tones.

    I cannot help but agree with you!

    Imagine, I sit next to a tauke-balak-son flashing his latest RM2000 over handphone and I find myself the guy who depends on RMT(Rancangan Makan Tambahan, i guess) to fill my belly. I wonder, how i feel.

    When I was a kid, my classmate used to ask me what kinda sport shoes I wear coz she had a pair of LA Gear. I just told her that she wouldn't know the brand name.

    I guess kids nowadays are facing greater peer pressure (and the ministry of education encourage it).

    Of course now days even a standard 1 students bringing their handphone to schools. What is the point of bringing their handphone to schools?? For emergency calls?? No public phone or teachers for them to tell?? But do these kids really no the real usage of it?? Hmmmmm......

    You think the public phones work? I've had my fair share of times where I desperately needed to make a call. I tried all the public phones in my school to no avail, and walked out of the school and continued trying. Found one working finally in Petaling Street.

    Perhaps students vandalise the school public phone themselves?
