Burning at will by preschool staff
I LIVE at Block 241, Jurong East Street 24. On the ground floor is a day-care centre and preschool. And just nearby are recycling bins as well as a pit to burn paper.
Yet, on Wednesday, I saw two staff members of the preschool burning what looked like old textbooks, handbooks and reams of paper.
I suggested to them that it would be better to recycle. But one of them replied that the papers were confidential in nature.
I approached the school and suggested the same to a teacher who was there. She promised that she would inform her colleagues to 'keep it in mind the next time'.
These teachers are supposed to be educating the young. Is it not hypocritical for them to teach the children about recycling when they don't practise what they preach?
