Is It Appropriate For Childcare Teachers To Wear Niqab?

[xingguy]

We can see from the video in My First Skool incident that the teacher involved was wearing a niqab. Not sure if I used the correct term. Anyway we can see that she is dress in this "ninja" dress whereby only her eyes are visible.

To the children who have not seen such dressing, it can be quite intimating.

In teaching children, often facial expression plays a vital role. Children cannot comprehend words fully, so sometimes facial expression does helps. At least from facial expression, most kids should known if the adult is angry, happy, sad, etc.

In story telling, the teacher's voice and facial expression can make the story "come alive" to the kids.

So, how did My First Skool even allow the teacher to wear that dressing?

Sorry for being ignorant.
If a woman is wearing a tudung (think Im right in this case) doesnt it mean she's a holy person? Does that entitles her to beat up a defenceless child?
Even if a child can be a brat sometimes, for goodness sake, theyre still kids!! If the childcare teacher do not have the aptitude to handle kids, then find another profession! Anyway, just ranting. maybe she's hungry because of the Ramadhan puasa.

Religious clothes should only be worn on religious occassions, and Halloween.

C'mon muslims, get in touch with the times and dress appropriately. If you people need to prove your religious piety by donning this type of coveralls, why don't you wear them during swimming competitions too?

Cheers!

Ahem! It should be intimidating and not intimating.

If unsure, simple words like scary or menacing will suffice.

NTUC is piling on the teacher as well as playing the religion card.

The focus should be on NTUC ...

1. How could this have happened when there are other teachers around? Or the centre was understaffed?
2. If the centre was understaffed, then this teacher may have cracked up. NTUC should be held accountable on this.
