Hwa Chong student schemes to get Hwa Chong teacher fired

  Going around on Facebook now :
  
  A Hwa Chong Institution male student declared loudly in public :
  
  "During the next lesson I am going to disrupt the class and tell her off for being a terrible teacher, make her cry and embarrass her in front of everyone because I don't like her. Then I'm going to inform her HOD about her and get her fired. She has no right to teach me. She's not even smart enough."
  
  How she deals with this student (when he puts his plan into action), will be a good opportunity for her to prove herself in handling such troublemaking students. If she can't handle this student now, then how will she be able to survive future (and worse) episodes of such troublemaking students?
  
  If she's competent enough to turn his 'assassination' attempt around and use this opportunity to put him in his place in front of the entire class, it bodes well for the future of her MOE career.
  
  If she's unable to do so, and he succeeds in 'assassinating' her, then he might well be unwittingly doing her a favor in expediting her 'advanced combat training', to either drastically grow from this episode immediately, or seriously reconsider the suitability of her career options.

  This article goes to show that difficult students exist at every level (from primary school to University), and different teachers react differently to such challenges. Of course, the Hwa Chong female teacher doesn't have the same authority as this US college professor to do as he did, so she has to be somewhat more careful in her response (MOE doesn't always have the back of the teacher).
