稱教師不理 伍少梅學生被毆報警

連串風波 校長：按程序處理 不等如縱容

【明報專訊】葵涌天主教慈幼會伍少梅中學風波不斷，繼前日學生索K暈倒被捕後，昨日再有學生不滿被嘲笑為「傻仔」，拳毆掌摑同學，被毆學生報稱向教師告發後不獲理會，遂自行報警。對於校內連串風波，校長虞歐坤回應說：「按程序處理學生事務，不等如縱容」，強調學生有過必罰。

事發昨早10時許，一名中二插班生向姓劉（14歲）同學查問另一名姓黃（15歲）同學背景，劉指黃是「傻仔，唔使理佢」，黃聽到後不滿被嘲笑，涉嫌拳毆劉的胸口及掌摑他。

被毆學生嘲同窗「傻仔」

劉事後對記者說，被毆後曾告知教師，但對方「無反應」，遂於下午1時半自行報案。警方到場調查後以涉嫌毆打將黃拘捕，並安排劉送院。劉又說，有人常在校內「蝦蝦霸霸」，去年也曾被對方打傷頭。

伍少梅中學校長虞歐坤形容連日兩宗風波是「個別及不幸事件」。虞指校方辦學理念來自宗教，強調理智及仁愛，希望以理性方法教育學生，「以個別事件評論校風並不公平」。虞說，學校有既定程序處理學生衝突，如有明顯傷勢，定會報警及召救護車，否則會先通知家長，再由家長決定是否報警，他說：「學生犯事校方必依程序處理，更不會隱瞞。學生打架一事，可能學生不知道教師已通知家長，才發生誤會。」

虞校長重申校方按程序處理學生事務，不等如縱容。雖然個別學生有不當行為，但外界不應以此標籤其他學生，校內不少學生在成績及課外活動方面均有突出表現。他又說，連串風波一定有損校譽，但「無辦法」，仍會以正面態度處理。

反驗毒教師：重典適得其反

該校輔導教師韓連山反對驗毒計劃，理由就是不欲破壞學校原有的互信及關愛氣氛。韓說，雖然校內風波迭起，但他認為校內不少學生來自問題家庭，實際需要的是關心與愛，以「重典」管教可能適得其反。韓贊同必須以明確態度賞罰學生，但必須在管與教之間取得平衡。

有Band 3學校校長坦言，Band 3學校學生涉及毒品及打架問題並不是新聞。該校長表示學生成績差、自我形象低落，容易衍生各種行為問題，學校需要時間輔導。他說：「開學初期，學生未適應上學生活，行為問題尤其嚴重。」

有天主教學校校長亦說，天主教辦學團體使命是有教無類，如明愛等集中照顧成績較差學生，多年來用盡辦法改善校風及打擊校園罪行，例如曾協助警方派底探員潛入校園查案。該校長說：「並非天主教學校校風差，而是教育對象是行為有偏差的學生。」

A Dog Named “Faith”
 



This is a story about a dog who was born on Christmas Eve  in 2002.  


 
He was born with 3 legs - 2 healthy hind legs and 1  abnormal front leg which needed to be amputated.

 


 
He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his  mother did not want him.

 


 
He was rejected and scorned.



His first owner also did not  think that he could survive. Therefore, he was thinking of putting him to  sleep..At that time, his present owner Jude Stringfellow came into his life  and wanted to take care of him. She was determined to teach and train this  dog to walk by himself. She thought, all we need is a little  faith.  

 


 
Therefore she named him 'Faith.'

 


 


In the beginning, she put Faith on a surf board to let him  feel the movements of the water. Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as  a lure and to reward him for standing up and jumping around. Even the other  dogs at home helped to encourage him to walk. Amazingly, after only 6  months, like a miracle, Faith learnedto balance on his 2 hind legs and  jumped to move forward. After further training in the snow, he can now walk  like a human being.



Faith loves to walk around  now. No matter where he goes, he just attracts all the people around him. He  is now becoming famous on the international scene. He has appeared in  various newspapers and TV shows. There is even a book entitled 'With a  little faith' being published about him.



 
He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter  movies.


His present owner Jude  Stringfellow has given up her teaching job and plans to take him around the  world to preach the message that,   "Even without a perfect  body, one can have a perfect soul."

























 


 
Believe in yourself.

 


 
Never lose faith...
