Discipline
Nanyang Primary School maintains high discipline standards within the school. For offences such as the use of vulgarities, stealing or copying work, the pupil receives a pink slip and the parents are notified.
If the pupil has three pink slips,depending on how severe what they did was, they will be sent for detention with the Discipline Master. If the pupil receives any more pink slips, the punishment will be more serious: girls are suspended, while boys receive the cane. The cane strokes are administered to the back of the offender's shorts by the Discipline Master.

Famous quotes containing the word discipline:
“Do you know what Agelisas said, when he was asked why the great city of Lacedomonie was not girded with walls? Because, pointing out the inhabitants and citizens of the city, so expert in military discipline and so strong and well armed: “Here,” he said, “are the walls of the city,” meaning that there is no wall but of bones, and that towns and cities can have no more secure nor stronger wall than the virtue of their citizens and inhabitants.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“And when discipline is concerned, the parent who has to make it to the end of an eighteen-hour day—who works at a job and then takes on a second shift with the kids every night—is much more likely to adopt the survivor’s motto: “If it works, I’ll use it.” From this perspective, dads who are even slightly less involved and emphasize firm limits or character- building might as well be talking a foreign language. They just don’t get it.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“If surrealism ever comes to adopt a particular line of moral conduct, it has only to accept the discipline that Picasso has accepted and will continue to accept.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
