Teaching and learning

Four hundred and eighty 12 to 14 year old students at Hong Kong's Buddhust Ching Kok Secondary School were locked in a darkened hall, blasted with the sound of crashing waves and simulated being swept to their deaths by a tsunami, says the SCMP. Next week the school intends to re-create a LegCo session with the students being locked in a darkened hall, blasted with the sound of crashing bores and simulated being swept to their brain deaths by a Policy Statement.

Free Che Guevara t-shirts to the survivors.

Oh, good grief. Are you serious about this? Why would they think that this is a good idea? Are the parents up in arms?
