It’s the teacher who can mend any deviant student. Parents have given up & for reasons, find themselves helpless. Here, the school can rescue a student going the other way..Schools cannot & should not refuse admission to such students. The order must be revoked instantly, otherwise you are setting a bad precedence. The CEO has not taken a good step, it’s mere cowardice wh ich our brave teachers have been ordered to follow. Schools are not for the better students only. Remember, you cannot escape responsibility
Point well taken
