discipline is the key! We Sri Lankan's should discipline our children at an early stage. We should start it at a school level. Teach children to respect another person's freedom.

The reason why you should pay for education, students and parents might value it more.

No No. Ranil Vs Mahinda. Catch my drift?

justice Tuesday, 23 October 2012 10:39 AM

No measures will be taken for the culprits from both end only the innocent will be punished, because the trouble makers themselves are MOSTLY from political families

Another MALAKA created by Hon. Gamini Wijith Wijayamuni Zoysa, Deputy Minister of Education.

What happened to school discipline? Expel the bad apples, and let that be a lesson that the schools have zero tolerance for thuggery. Looks like Money more than calibre talks these days, and the venerable olds chools are now full of 'rasthiyadu karayas' , 'kudu karayas' and their kids. Heck, We were boys too once, but we never got into this type of behaviour or gang violence at every junction. we worried about how our behaviour would reflect on our families.

Hey Roayalists , remember the college anthem "disce aut discede" (lerarn or depart) don't disgrace the college.

Aney Machang Tuesday, 23 October 2012 09:44 AM

Thurstanites are jealous

vk Tuesday, 23 October 2012 09:42 AM
