School Days with a Pig

Will your teacher in a Singaporean school:

• Bring a piglet to a Primary 6 class
• Check with you if you would like to raise it, then eat it when you graduate
• When the time comes, put the decision to a vote?

Of course not, silly!

Just imagine the extraordinary pressure the school will have to bear for this young teacher's 'experimental teaching method'! All the letters to the forum, to MOE, online etc. The religious views involved... *gasp*... Unthinkable! Super discount on the CEP of everyone who's involved!

In any case, our education curriculum does not include a lesson on 'our food' and 'our life'. NIE is not equipped to 'teach' such a topic, and so our NIE-trained teachers aren't either.

(Maybe if the subject was a couple of grasshoppers, fishes or plants, it'll be ok.)

Of course... Something like that... has to be Japanese.

And it is based on a TRUE story, and filmed with a partial script, i.e. the actors are allowed to react to the situation according to their own emotions.

What's your decision, counting down to graduation day?

To keep the pig or eat it?

For those who have missed this on Okto on Sunday night... Too bad!
