Testosterone, free education and stupidity are not a good combination.

All these students who were involved in the clash should be suspended. Discipline in schools should be maintained.

Now can the stupid hog Ms. Anoma Dissanayake of NCPC realise the difference between Students of free public schools and the discipline of students from fee paying international schools?

This will never happen at S.Thomas'. "Esto Perpetua"

First time in the history Royal college closed due to clashes.
RCOBU take immediate actions to make students loyal sons.

When those suppose NOT to be in these colleges are there, that is the result. More to come. Royal will be Rotten college n Thurstan will be Thugs-stand college. Save Sri Lanka education.

Why stop at schools? How about suspending MPs and Uni students who fight or bring disrepute to the institutions? Discipline should start at the very top.

Lobo Wednesday, 24 October 2012 04:55 AM

But there are other equally bad things happening at STC so stop talking like you guys are saints. And the only reason you don't fight is because most of you guys are sissies.

Thomians torture their own peers. Remember Thomain prefects assaulting and abusing their juniors?

We saw it at your last big match !

And who exactly are "NOT" supposed to be in the collages? Are you talking about some sort of class divide? surely not...

This happened even in mid seventies.The solution is to find the culprits and severely punish them.Students who have studious minds never go after violence and this is due to irresponsible and rowdy minded students who want to be thugs when they grow up.Send them into rehabilitaion centres and let their parents pay the bill like in some European countries.

better sissies than thugs. Can't you see the culture you have created?
