a pri sch teacher of my kid was imo unfairly censored for blurting PANG SAI in class when he was using this hokkien dialect to amuse and also making a point to the kids. he was saying that during the WW2, no paper was available and if one needed to PANG SAI, he would have to look for leaves from the banana or other plants to wipe his arse.
well, he didn't mention arse. he just said wipe after he had PANG SAI.
for that he was called to the principal's office and being censored. the reason was one of his students went home and related the story to his parents about the PANG SAI story. the next day, the mother emailed the school to file a complaint against that poor teacher.
was the teacher fairly being warned about using PANG SAI indiscreetly?
your views please.
