+1 KNOW WE ARE BEING WATCHED BY ANY OUS SCHOOL MANAGERS, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS ALL OVER HONG KONG,+ SHE SAID. +DISCIPLINE IS FUNDAMENTAL IN THE HOMES, SCHOOLS AND INSTITUTIONS WHICH CONSTITUTE CIVILISED SOCIETIES. IF WE SACRIFICE THAT, E LOSE EVERYTHING. THERE ARE WAYS AND WAYS OF COMPLAINING ABOUT ALLEGED INJUSTICES. SIT-INS, MARCHES, INTIMIDATION AND ABUSE ARE NOT THE RIGHT WAYS. THE METHODS ADOPTED BY SOME TEACHERS HAVE DISRUPTED ONE UNHAPPY SCHOOL, BUT THE FIRM ACTION OF THE AUTHORITIES IN CLOSING THE SCHOOL RATHER THAN TOLERATE CONTINUED DEMONSTRATIONS OF CONTEMPT FOR LAW, ORDER AND DISCIPLINE THERE, MUST BE SUPPORTED BY ALL RIGHT THINKING PEOPLE,+ SISTER LORRAINE SAID.
