An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
I may get in trouble for this but I believe that the truth should be revealed as I firmly believe in freedom of speech and the fact that justice prevails.
I am a student from Presbyterian High School. Recently during Friday assembly, there has been a stir of emotions. Our school has had a Jogathon donation drive for a few years now.
In the previous years, as mentioned by our new vice principal Mr Loh, the donations went to the school for various CCAs etc. but this year it went to charity, he even said that last year, there was a certain amount you had to accumulate if not, they wouldn't accept your donation card.
I admit that it was for a good cause but he took it over the line. Firstly, during our fortnightly assembly, we reviewed the amount we have collected. My class donated the least amount of money, 41 people netting an amount of S$186.
I personally do believe in giving to the less fortunate and understand the efforts of the vice principal. He aimed for a target of $50,000 but we managed to only accumulate an amount of approximately $35,000.
However, instead of telling us why we should put in more effort and putting the message across amicably, we were called, and I directly quote "pathetic". He told us that our efforts weren't good enough and that we should put in more effort, but after he said that we were pathetic, he asked us (the school) if we could do it where we responded with a resounding " No."
