I was among the participants of the meeting and it was very educative and beneficial. Naomi & Justin had nice presentations.
My view: Giving very stiff punishments to students as a solution to misconducts cannot solve the problem of school vandalism but escalating misbehavior among some students.
It is necessary to look into our curriculum and encourage subjects that instil morals and this should start right away from the primary schools such as Civics, please bring it back.
