While the debates go on and on, as parents please ensure your children's education is complete. Make sure they mastered B.M., English and Chinese. Mastering these 3 languages put them at an advantage for the future. Ensure that they study Mathematics well. Understanding mathematics allow them to think logically and in abstract terms. Also do not neglect the other subjects too.

Exactly, that's what Teo Cock Seong supposedly point out. The educators in these schools perpetuate stereotypes, prejudices, and inequalities among students of different religious and ethnic backgrounds. Addressing this issue requires a multi-faceted approach, including reforms in the education system to promote inclusivity, diversity, and understanding among students of various backgrounds.

It is the emphasis on religious indoctrination, limited curriculum, suppression of dissent, social division, cultural isolation, missed opportunities for dialogue, and impact on academic achievement in schools that have collectively contributed to restricting intellectual growth and causing irreparable division among children categorised as believers and nonbelievers

Little does that shallow minded paper mill cock seong know that while integration has its merits, there are situations where segregation and avoidance may be seen as proactive measures for self-defense against slander and provocation in a hypersensitive community.

Half-baked cock seong fails to understand and point out that labeling children based on their parents' religion can lead to division and exclusion within a diverse classroom. When a child is categorized solely based on their parents' religious beliefs, it can create barriers to understanding and acceptance among classmates from different backgrounds. This labeling can perpetuate stereotypes, hinder genuine interactions, and promote a sense of "us versus them" mentality.

Such labeling reinforces social divisions and hierarchies within the classroom. It can lead to cliques based on religious identities, where children may feel pressure to conform to certain norms or beliefs associated with their labeled group. This not only limits their freedom of expression but also inhibits the exchange of diverse perspectives and ideas among students.

Vernacular schools as sanctuary for the minority

labeling based on parents' religion can contribute to discrimination and prejudice. Children may face unfair treatment or exclusion based on stereotypes associated with their labeled group, leading to feelings of alienation and isolation. This can negatively impact their social and emotional well-being, impeding their overall development and integration within the classroom community.

Vernacular schools as sanctuary for the minority

Fostering unity in a diverse classroom requires embracing and celebrating differences rather than categorizing and dividing based on parental backgrounds. By promoting inclusivity, empathy, and open-mindedness, educators can create a more harmonious and supportive learning environment where all children feel valued and accepted regardless of their parents' religious beliefs. This approach not only promotes unity but also cultivates a culture of respect, understanding, and cooperation among students from diverse backgrounds.

Proto-terror, Proterror Vs Peace Within cultivation

When teaching school children about the root of terrorism, it's important to approach the topic with sensitivity and accuracy. Here are some key points they could learn and understand:

1. **Definition of Terrorism:** Start with a clear definition of terrorism as the use of violence, intimidation, or coercion for political or ideological purposes.

2. **Historical Context:** Provide historical context about various terrorist groups and movements, highlighting their origins, motivations, and actions.

3. **Factors Contributing to Terrorism:**
- Ideological Factors: Teach about extremist ideologies that promote violence, such as religious extremism or political radicalism.
- Socioeconomic Factors: Discuss how poverty, marginalization, and lack of opportunities can contribute to feelings of resentment and alienation, which may be exploited by terrorist groups.
- Political Factors: Explain how political grievances, including issues like oppression, injustice, or perceived foreign interference, can fuel terrorist activities.

4. **Impact of Terrorism:** Help students understand the devastating impact of terrorism on individuals, communities, and societies, including loss of life, fear, economic disruption, and social division.

5. **Counterterrorism Measures:** Educate students about efforts to combat terrorism, including law enforcement, intelligence gathering, international cooperation, and community resilience programs.

6. **Promote Critical Thinking:** Encourage critical thinking skills by discussing propaganda techniques used by terrorist groups to recruit and radicalize individuals, and how to critically evaluate information from various sources.

7. **Empathy and Understanding:** Emphasize the importance of empathy and understanding towards different cultures and beliefs, while also promoting tolerance, respect for human rights, and peaceful conflict resolution.

By providing a comprehensive and balanced education on terrorism, school children can develop a nuanced understanding of this complex issue and contribute to building a more peaceful and resilient society.

Mentality of educators: noble verna Vs ignoble natio

Educators' mentality can either embrace universalism, promoting a multiracial, diverse society, or fall into the trap of "katak di bawah tempurung," fostering narrow-mindedness leading to antisemitism, and a monoethnic exclusivity that divides rather than unites.
