The education centre claimed that the boy had ventured somewhere else to play without anyone knowing, and the teacher was taking care of other children.

When her son returned home from enrichment classes one day, a mother was horrified to see the eight-year-old in tears and with broken teeth., the mother, surnamed Wu, said the incident happened during the recent school holidays, and after just the second lesson at Little Earth Education Centre.

Wu had to fork out around $1,000 in medical fees, and her son must now avoid certain foods so as to not put pressure on the broken teeth. Her son can only undergo a dental implant surgery when he turns 21. As for now, a filling is the only option. According to Shin Min, Wu accused the teacher of sitting on the swing at the playground and using her phone during the incident, and that the centre also did not inform immediately.

The Big Read: Retail workers not allowed to sit? Customers can be the ones to change longstanding practiceSINGAPORE — Shopper Linda Chua expects retail staff to be on their feet when customers like herself enter a shop. Mind set. Ask those who need service staff to stand and welcome them, stand for 8-12 hours a day, feel it. If cashiers are able to sit and do their jobs then let them sit, give service staff regular breaks, they're all people too, show some heart retailers are humans too...there is nothing wrong with sitting down or taking breaks. NOT all customers are right. THAT mindset has to change because THERE ARE unreasonable customers too.
