    With International Schools came Indiscipline. Sadly not much laws are prevailing to bring the international schools in line.

    Aargee Thursday, 24 February 2011 01:15 AM

    Few years back an American student in Singapore got 22 Cuts by cane and deported for spraying a car with spray paint. Most of the Americans applaud that punishment as it cannot be done in America. , How about that for a punishment

    Thomas Thursday, 24 February 2011 02:10 AM

    ANYONE SPRAY WRITING ANY WALLS ANYWHERE BE SENTENCED TO 2 WEEK REMAND .

    Johann Gunasekara Thursday, 24 February 2011 02:40 AM

    Compulsary community service is the answer. Get them to clean up the mess and more, this will send a clear message to all

    punchi Thursday, 24 February 2011 03:54 AM

    Not all schools are bad

    gamaya Thursday, 24 February 2011 04:55 AM

    Ask those students to clean the walls in public places. then they will learn a lesson.

    MangoFriend Thursday, 24 February 2011 07:50 AM

    remember the guy who strangled a swedish girl? also attended an intl school.

    Abdul Thursday, 24 February 2011 07:51 AM

    More than Int'l schools, the so called BIG schools are involved in this. This is what they do during BIG MATCH season.

    LANKA Wednesday, 23 February 2011 11:14 AM

    Should Name and Shame The School.

    citze silva Wednesday, 23 February 2011 10:14 AM

    Yep- these International School guys have no proper play grounds in school- this is how they spend their time.

    malkanthi Wednesday, 23 February 2011 10:15 AM

    The immoral Culture of international schools have taken grip of children in leading private / government schools.

    mohandev Wednesday, 23 February 2011 10:20 AM

    At least appreciate Chinthanya justice at work

    kassa Wednesday, 23 February 2011 10:28 AM

    Nice work in future they will understand how difficult that.

    Hash Wednesday, 23 February 2011 10:41 AM

    The law sprayed on them

    shavantha Wednesday, 23 February 2011 10:45 AM

    Give them community service get the students to paint the wall for the girls school

    Roshan Wednesday, 23 February 2011 11:05 AM

    Good work by the Police. Not only the School wall they should arrest when anyone spray even the residence wall.

    Thilina Wednesday, 23 February 2011 11:08 AM

    Not only the international schools do this thing but also our so called popular schools do it all the time. Those who do it should be sent to rehabilitation.

    Konde bendapu china Wednesday, 23 February 2011 10:02 AM

    these are mentally sick people must give them lesson .They paint some words very awful to look

    Shan Wednesday, 23 February 2011 11:10 AM

    International schools damaging our culture and spoiling other students too....

    EH Wednesday, 23 February 2011 11:33 AM

    Malkanthi
    Every Schools has it black sheep and thats part and parcel of growing up. You do a mis deeed you should be able to take up punishment.
    This is what makes rounded people of the world.
    I AM NOT AT ANY POINT CONDONING THIS. what was done is wrong and children should be punished for mis deeds yes. but i think its abit harsh.

    Why don't you hang from a tree and scream about the corruption of ploicticans, judiciary and the police.
    is it not the immoral culture that they create that leads to such lawlessness and crude behaviour.

    Chidlren takes cues from the society at large and the worst kind is people like you who do not look into the source of these mis deeds.
    on the flip side.. if you were a parent and the scholl punished your child you will be the first to take the school to task..

    Hobsons choice at the end of the day !!

    Hemali Wednesday, 23 February 2011 11:42 AM

    For every 'international' student who spray paints there are hundred 'government' students who do much worse. I've been to both schools and I can tell you that most 'international' students have better things to do than spray walls. And personally I think most of the posters and garbage around colombo is more of an eyesore than some spray paint

    chris abey Wednesday, 23 February 2011 12:05 PM

    What about all the political rubbish posters pasted on walls of homes,churches and schools.Wish the police would arrest those guys too.I dare them to do that.

    Rishan Wednesday, 23 February 2011 12:16 PM

    if caught must ask them to erase the vendalism on the wall and repaint at their cost.

    kowsikan Wednesday, 23 February 2011 12:30 PM

    guys be careful like kind of this matters!!!!!!!!!

    sltk20042004 Wednesday, 23 February 2011 12:37 PM

    Are you saying that the largest offenses (corruption, robberies, mass murders) were done by people educated in international schools ?
