Ms George, after looking at the pictures, I really felt that we are lucky to be in Singapore.

CHILD LABOUR!!!!!How terrible and cruel it is!I really hope that child labour will stop immediately and every child in this world can live like I do.We have to remember not to take fortunate life for granted!!!!

The pictures……To tell you the truth,I don’t really dare to carry on
looking at the images.The children are really badly treated.They seem to be desperate and as helpless as a baby.How I wish someone will save them!!

Ms George,how do you get the idea of discussing about CHILD LABOUR in class today?I think it’s quite a good topic you have brought up.By the way,do you know that the visitors from USA are curious about everything,from hats to blogging,from blogging to our school? However,I think they are cool!!

”A boy who does not know his ABCs when twelve years old?????? Impossible! He must have a really bbaaadddd owner….”thought Rachel thoughtfully….

Is there a way we can help them?We are very lucky to be in Singapore…

I feel that child labor is not to be taken lightly and we should do something about it. Children are not born into this world to be ill-treated. We can actually start a petition to prove to the world that child labor is NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!!

That’s really bad. That boy sure needs help. It’s crazy talk.
I really hope that he won’t die from exhaustion.
I also would like more English lessons like that.
Oh yeah…… I just wanted to wish you a happy THAIPOOSAM!!!

Miss george i guess u decided not to change the blog’s adress =D
. As for me im creating my own blog but using blogger.
January 24, 2008 at 4:16 pm
How I wish there will be a way to save those children as soon as posible…..

Miss George what can we do to stop child labor? I cant believe that children in other countries are so ill-treated. And at 12 yrs old (primary 5) they still dont know their alphabets. I cant imagine how hard it will be for them to support their family when they grow up.
January 24, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Well…….So many people interested in Child Labour!!Such a good topic,Ms George!!
January 27, 2008 at 10:49 am
THEY ARE SUCH POOR LITTLE CHILDREN THAT ARE ILL-TREATED! HOW PITIFUL!

Hey Miss George!
Would you mind me joining the discussion? haha
miss class discussion alot!
i think…. it’s pitiful of them, that they cant have education.
but, its also an advantage for them, as they get to learn how to be independant and responsible at such a young age.
its something singapore kids do not experience.
when these children grow up, they would be very experience in business like mechanism or other jobs. they could even leave their owners to strive for their own future.
it does.nt matter if they do not have money or a place to stay. if they are keen to leave their evil owners and strive hard for the sake of themselves, it is really worth it!
it is certainly saddening that their owners treat the children badly, but i gurantee that through all these painful experience, they would have a never say die attitude. of course they do not need to have these painful experiences to have a never say die attitude. its just that, they do not have choices like we do.

Hey Madeline, you’re most welcomed to join our “classroom discussions”…
January 31, 2008 at 10:24 am
Well it’s amazing just how much we in Singapore take for granted. Eyeopener right? Like what Dylan said, they don’t even know the alphabet but they are already working.

Hi Miss George!!
I’m surprised to know that you’re actually still using this blog:) Now, about the child labour thingy: I actually pity those children in the pictures(sad to say i did not really read all of it, because… well… i’m lazy, hehe)
Well, if I’m not wrong, the children worked because their family did not have enough money? I think so… But I still find it pitiful that the children have to work at such young age… Just imagine how lucky WE are.
Ooh, and is it OK if I join in the class discussions next time, too, pleeease? My teachers this year obviously did not create class blogs, so yeah..

Hey Miss George, what about me 
can I also join in discussion?It’s no longer fun without blogging in the picture. just being a busybody, are there any money fanatic in your class that is just like Jerry a.k.a. MOUSE / IT.
Anyway, back to the discussion, it’s very pitiful for children at ages like that to not have an education like us. They don’t even know their ABC’s. How I wish all these horid things will stop one fine day.

I feel so sorry for them……we are so fortunate to live in Singapore…thanx for sharing this with us.

oh, and miss george can you create more blogs like this because now we know what is happening in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!

I really wish that child labour could be stopped.We should let other children have a happy childhood. I would not like to be treated badly myself.
August 1, 2008 at 8:06 am
I think people should not be treated badly as it is cruel to do such things
August 1, 2008 at 8:09 am
Hey Miss George 
I think that child labour is very very bad as it consists of torturing. Children have children rights too.
August 1, 2008 at 8:13 am
Child Labour is bad… Nothing but PURE BAD. Think of all the poor children being tortured by horrifing adults. The children could hate them… If I was trapped in Child Labour, I guess I will be trapped in stress and unhappiness!
August 1, 2008 at 8:22 am
Hey ms george, I really do feel that I am extremely fortunate
to be brought up in Singapore! I feel very sorry for those
children! HOW I WISH I COULD STOP CHILD LABOUR!!!!!
August 1, 2008 at 8:25 am

August 1, 2008 at 8:47 am
WHAT A CRUEL WORLD IS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CHILD LABOUR,ah, when that word gets into my head,i feel as if i want to explode.
August 1, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Hey, this is unfair. I strongly feel that all children should be treated in the same way. Wonder how the children who are experiencing this horrible situation feel…We should not take everything for granted just because we live in Singapore and that our families are not as poor as them. If I were an adult, I will try my best to get this children free…
LOL,
