Last year, we advised private schools against the excesses of the process of electing school prefects. It was so abused that parents engaged in undue 'show of wealth' in the name of campaign for their children who were candidates seeking votes for elective posts. Parents spent recklessly on unimportant things like gift items for staff and students, so that own child would win. The exercise became so corrupting, distractive, tempting... to all that we frowned at it. We suggested that schools should either stop or regulate the conduct of campaign. A number of parents and schools were displeased- can't list them.
Recently, we received a report from a school that had its finger burnt due to the excesses which occasioned unhealthy rivalry and conspiracy. The school's image was not spared.
Now, moderation & regulation are the school's watchwords for parents. Staff also received stern warning not to ever let any parents repeat or make an abusive attempt.
