Of course can reject. If they dare complain, then just show evidence of scheduled lessons, CCAs, duties, meeting minutes.

All these things require our presence, but we only have 1 body, cannot be in 2, 3, 4, 5 places at once.

If really investigate, it's the KPs' and SLs' heads which will roll, since they are the ones in charged of deployment. If teachers are always deployed for after-school activities, how to find time for consultation?

There are many unreported incidents of teachers being abused by students and/or parents.
For example,
Kena scolded vulgarities by students and their parents.
Kena hit when breaking up fights
Young female teachers kena outrage of modesty

Do any of these to politicians, police, or any public officials, it's a straight to jail offence for threatening/harming public servants.

But in MOE, how often are these culprits charged in court?

Never. Because for students, our law protects the underaged. It only becomes a case-by-case basis when the crime is extreme e.g. grievous assault or murder.

Parents are also viewed as customers now. Is it really a good move to offend them?

You think the students were charged or punished in any way?

You think the ex-teacher was compensated in any way?'

Rhetorical questions, perhaps?

most teachers are already smart enough to do this... usually it just depends on the restrictions enforced by KPs or SLs...

have witnessed incidents of people getting lectured (as a group or individually)..."cannot do this, must do that"

sometimes want to work smart also cannot... with bureaucracy and rigidity in the way while still getting nagged at to "innovate" lol

No choice, government needs to win the election so they get their staff aka civil service to be civil to civilians. Sometimes I wish they were brave enough to do the right thing and teach the parents better parenting.

Maybe good to remind them that people who are in jail, cannot vote. Don't need them to win any elections.
