Petition for the :
1) Immediate Removal of The New Principal
2) Well-Being of Our Students and Effective Communication from School Administration
(To keep the signatory up to date on the progress of the petition by sending emails To Real Schools Private & International School, Johor Bahru Campus)
We, the undersigned parents, students and concerned members of the school community, come together to voice our concerns about the recent unreasonable changes implemented by the new principal. Our primary consideration is always the well-being and future of our children and their education at this school.
We call for immediate removal of the new principal at no negotiation ground and advocate for open communication between the school administration and parents.
We are to ensure our children receive the best education in a nurturing environment. The new principal have disrupted the school community without proper communication or consideration for students and parents, and teachers too! We demand a more inclusive and considerate approach from our school administration.
Our Key Concerns:
Students Are Our Primary Focus: Every new policy should prioritize the students' interests and educational needs.
Need for Open Communication: We are not advocating for parent control over school decisions but for a respectful partnership that prioritizes our children’s best interests.The school must maintain transparent and consistent communication with parents regarding any significant changes. Unilateral decision-making without parental input is unacceptable.
Our Stand:
No Personal Bias or Racial Motivations: Our concerns are solely for the betterment of our children’s education and future. We have no personal agenda against the principal, nor do we harbor any racial biases.
1) Immediate Removal of the New Principal
Possible Inappropriate Behavior of New Principal:
Was the New Principal attempting to pull a student's collar simply because she was not greeted in the morning?
If it is the case, she has exhibited inappropriate conduct towards a student, which undermines the values of respect and dignity that our educational institution stands for. This act of aggression is not only unacceptable but also constitutes a violation of the basic rights of students to be treated with kindness and respect.
If it is the case, the principal's approach to leadership is deeply flawed. Instead of fostering a nurturing and supportive environment, she possibily adopted an authoritarian demeanor, demanding that students greet her voluntarily in the morning and expressing anger towards those who do not comply. Such behavior is not befitting of a school leader and fails to exemplify the values of compassion and understanding that are essential in guiding and shaping the minds of our youth.
By sharing this unpleasant experience, do you think the brave student may risks being singled out by the school for stepping forward? We, as parents fully support, stand with our students to protect his rights and safety, and ensure now or in future, not being penalized or treated unfairly by the school management.
We urge the school administration to take immediate action to address the conduct of the new principal. It is imperative that steps are taken to ensure the well-being and safety of all students, as well as to uphold the principles of fairness and equality within our school community.
New Principal's conduct: The new principal arrived unnoticed by students, who were unaware of her identity. Angered by this lack of recognition, she summoned students to her office on her first day of work. Despite the unfamiliarity of her presence, instead of introducing herself and fostering a welcoming atmosphere, the new principal reprimanded students for their lack of acknowledgment.
This heavy-handed approach not only startled the student but also failed to establish a positive rapport between students and administration. Such actions undermine the principles of effective leadership and inclusivity, warranting a reassessment of her suitability for this important role.
Decline in School Morale: Unhappy students are considering leaving the school with dismay due to the new principal's management style, which is perceived as authoritarian and outdated, it is anticipated that more students will leave the school due to this reason. We do not welcome an old-fashioned approach in the private school setting. The school has always been managed in a way that fostered a positive and engaging learning environment, a fun and exciting place for students, thanks to the former principal as well as many dedicated and caring teachers who consistently go the extra mile in their duties. It was a place where most students looked forward to going every day—until the arrival of the new principal, has ruined everything. This is alarming and indicative of deeper issues within the school's leadership.
Balanced and Sensible Leadership: We are not demanding that schools seek parental approval for every decision, but basic communication and consideration are essential. The principal's lack of engagement and unilateral decision-making approach are detrimental to the school environment.
Focus on Constructive Initiatives: The principal should focus on initiatives that add value to the education system, fostering an environment where students can thrive both academically and personally. We refuse to tolerate behavior that is detrimental to the welfare of our students. We call upon the school administration to conduct a thorough investigation into the actions of the new principal.
Call to Action: Remove the New Principal immediately. Our students deserve a leader who embodies the values of integrity, compassion, and respect, and it is incumbent upon the school administration to uphold these standards without compromise.
2) Well-Being of Our Students and Effective Communication from School Administration
Issues with the New Principal's Policies:
Rescheduling of School Activities: All school activities, such as Sports Day and Parent-Teacher Conferences, have been moved from Saturdays to Fridays. Open Day remains on Saturdays, favoring potential new parents over existing ones. This change disregards the schedules and commitments of working parents whose children already attend the school.
PE Attire Policy: Students are no longer allowed to wear PE attire directly from home, even on days with PE lessons. The new principal insists on students changing into PE attire only at school, adding an unnecessary burden for students to bring extra clothes under the guise of maintaining discipline. A more flexible dress code would be practical and still uphold discipline.
Possible Elimination of Sports Subsidies: The new principal has proposed to stop all sports subsidies and students' participation for representing the school in all MSSD competitions. Regardless of whether a decision has been made, this matter should never have been proposed in the first place, as it is not in the best interest of the students.
This policy undermines the value of sports in fostering a healthy and balanced lifestyle, which is crucial for academic success. These students bring honor to the school regardless of their results, yet the new principal appears unsupportive of their participation in sports, favoring a sole focus on academics.
While academics are important, a balance is essential. Students must maintain a healthy body to excel in their schoolwork. The school proudly advertises a holistic approach to learning, focusing on all aspects of an individual’s development rather than just academic achievements. However, recent actions contradict this claim.
Possible Grading for Secondary Level: We opposed to the practice of grading students solely based on their scores, we express our profound disappointment on possible changes to be made by the principal regarding the division of secondary classes according to grades. Regardless of whether a decision has been made, this matter should never have been proposed in the first place, as it is not in the best interest of the students.
Prior to our enrolment in this institution, the promotional materials explicitly stated that the school would not segregate students based on their academic performance. This assurance was vital as it promised an environment where students would not face discrimination based on their grades. However, the recent announcement from the new principal contradicts this promise.
Dividing classes according to grades fosters a culture of discrimination and undermines the inclusive ethos that our school should embody. It not only fails to recognize the diverse strengths and abilities of students but also perpetuates harmful stereotypes and prejudices. We uphold the principles of equality and fairness in education.
We believe that every student deserves an equal opportunity to learn and grow, regardless of their academic performance. Therefore, we call for the immediate cessation of this discriminatory practice and the implementation of policies that promote inclusivity and diversity within our school. The recent decisions made by the new principal exhibit a lack of foresight and understanding of our school's culture and values.
The unilateral implementation of outdated policies reflects a disconnect from the needs and aspirations of both students and faculty. It's imperative that the administration reconsider their approach and engage in constructive dialogue to foster a more inclusive and progressive learning environment.
Our Request:
Reevaluate and Adjust Policies: The School should reconsider and modify the policies to better suit the needs of students and parents. Engage in open dialogue with the parent community to ensure that changes are made transparently and inclusively.
Call to Action: We urge all parents to come together and voice our concerns. Let’s advocate for open communication, empathy, and strong leadership in our school’s administration. By leveraging the power of the Internet and social media, we can ensure our collective voices are heard and drive the positive changes we want to see.
Together, we can make a significant impact and ensure our school remains a nurturing and effective environment for our children. Let’s unite for the future of our children.
Your support is crucial in making our voices heard and achieving the best outcomes for our school community.

保障学生的福祉和有效的学校行政沟通
（通过发送邮件至Real Schools私立与国际学校，柔佛新山校区，随时向签名者更新请愿进展）
我们，签名的家长、学生和学校社区的关心成员，齐聚一堂，表达对新校长实施的近期不合理变更的关注。
我们的首要考虑始终是孩子们的福祉和他们在这所学校的教育未来。
我们呼吁立即撤换新校长，不接受任何谈判，并倡导学校行政部门与家长之间的开放沟通。
我们希望确保孩子们在一个有爱心的环境中接受最好的教育。新校长在没有适当沟通或考虑学生和家长（以及老师）的情况下，扰乱了学校社区。我们要求学校行政部门采取更加包容和考虑周全的方法。
我们的主要关注点：
学生是我们的首要关注点：每一项新政策都应优先考虑学生的利益和教育需求。
需要开放的沟通：我们不是倡导家长控制学校决策，而是提倡一种尊重的伙伴关系，优先考虑孩子的最佳利益。学校必须保持透明和一致的沟通，及时通知家长任何重大变更。没有家长参与的单方面决策是不可接受的。
我们的立场：没有个人偏见或种族动机：我们的关注点完全是为了改善孩子们的教育和未来。我们对校长没有个人偏见，也不抱有任何种族偏见。
立即撤换新校长
新任校长不当行为有待证实1：
新任校长是否只是因为早上没有被问候而试图拉住学生的衣领？
如果情况属实，她已经对学生表现出不当行为，这有损于我们教育机构所坚持的尊重和尊严的价值观。这种攻击性行为不仅不可接受，还侵犯了学生应得到善待和尊重的基本权利。
如果情况属实，校长的领导方式存在严重缺陷。她不是在培养一个充满关怀和支持的环境，而是可能采取了专制的态度，要求学生早上主动向她问好，并对不遵守这一要求的学生表现出愤怒。这样的行为不适合当一名校长，也未能体现出在指导和塑造年轻人心灵时所必需的同情和理解的价值观。
通过分享这种不愉快的经历，你认为勇敢的学生可能会冒着被学校孤立的风险吗？我们作为家长，完全支持并保护学生的权利和安全，确保他现在或将来不会受到学校管理层的不公平对待或处罚。反之，我们敦促学校管理层立即采取行动，处理新任校长的行为。必须采取措施确保所有学生的福祉和安全，并在我们的学校社区内维护公平和平等的原则。
如果情况属实，校长的领导方法存在严重缺陷。她没有营造一个培养和支持的环境，而是采取了专制的态度，要求学生早晨自愿问候她，并对不遵守的学生表示愤怒。这样的行为不适合学校领导，也不能体现出指导和塑造年轻人心灵所需的同情和理解的价值观。
我们敦促学校行政部门立即采取行动，处理新校长的不当行为。必须采取措施确保所有学生的福祉和安全，并维护我们学校社区的公平和公正原则。
新任校长不当行为有待证实2：新校长到来时，学生并不知道她的身份。由于没有得到学生的认可，她是否在上班的第一天就召集学生到她的办公室? 如果情况属实 , 她的存在感不强，但新校长没有介绍自己并营造一个欢迎的氛围，反而责备学生没有认出她。
这种强硬的做法不仅惊吓了学生，也未能在学生和行政部门之间建立积极的关系。这种行为破坏了有效领导和包容性的原则，需重新评估她是否适合这个重要角色。
学校士气下降：由于新校长的管理风格被认为是专制和过时的，许多不满的学生被迫考虑要离开学校。据预测，由于这个原因，将会有更多的学生离开学校。我们不欢迎在私立学校环境中采用老式的管理方式。学校一向以培养积极和健康的学习环境而著称，这是一个充满乐趣和正能量的地方，这要归功于前任校长以及那些敬业和关心学生的教师，他们总是尽心尽力地履行自己的职责。这曾是一个大多数学生每天都期待去的地方——直到新校长的到来, 毁了一切。这一现象令人担忧，并表明学校领导层存在更深层次的问题。
平衡和明智的领导：我们不是要求学校为每个决定寻求家长的批准，但基本的沟通和考虑是必要的。校长缺乏参与和单方面决策的方法对学校环境有害。
专注于建设性举措：校长应专注于增加教育系统价值的举措，营造学生在学术和个人方面都能蓬勃发展的环境。我们拒绝容忍有损学生福祉的行为。我们呼吁学校行政部门对新校长的行为进行彻底调查。
行动呼吁：立即撤换新校长。我们的学生需要一位体现诚信、同情和尊重价值观的领导者，学校行政部门必须不折不扣地维护这些标准。
保障学生的福祉和有效的学校行政沟通新校长政策的问题：
学校活动的重新安排：所有学校活动，如运动会和家长教师会议，已从星期六移至星期五。开放日仍然在星期六，偏向潜在的新家长，而忽视了现有家长的安排和承诺。这一变化忽略了已经将孩子送到学校的在职家长的时间表和承诺。
体育课着装政策：学生即使在有体育课的日子，也不再允许从家里直接穿着体育服。新校长要求学生只能在学校更换体育服，这给学生增加了不必要的负担，以维持所谓的纪律。一项更灵活的着装规范将更为实际，同时也能保持纪律。
可能取消体育补贴：新任校长提议停止所有体育补贴，并停止学生代表学校参加所有MSSD比赛。无论是否已经作出决定，这件事本不应该被提出来，因为它不符合给学生带来最佳利益。这一政策削弱了体育在促进健康和均衡生活方式方面的重要性，而这对学术成功至关重要。这些学生无论结果如何，都为学校争光，但新校长似乎不支持他们参与体育活动，而偏重于学术。虽然学术很重要，但保持平衡同样重要。学生必须保持健康的身体才能在学业上取得优异成绩。学校自豪地宣传其全人教育方法，关注个人发展的各个方面，而不仅仅是学术成就。然而，最近的行动与此说法相矛盾。
可能采取中学评分标准新措施：我们反对仅根据成绩对学生进行评分的做法。无论是否已经作出决定，这件事本不应该被提出来，因为它不会给学生带来最佳利益。对新校长计划中学班级按成绩划分的变更表示深切失望。在我们入学之前，招生材料明确表示，学校不会根据学术表现对学生进行分类。这一保证至关重要，因为它承诺了一个学生不会因成绩而面临歧视的环境。然而，校长最近的公告与这一承诺相悖。按成绩划分班级助长了歧视文化，破坏了我们学校应体现的包容性精神。它不仅未能认识到学生的多样性强项和能力，还助长了有害的刻板印象和偏见。我们坚持教育中的平等和公平原则。
我们认为每个学生都应有平等的机会学习和成长，无论他们的学术表现如何。因此，我们呼吁立即停止这种歧视性做法，并实施促进学校内部包容性和多样性的政策。
新校长的最近决定表明她对学校文化和价值观缺乏远见和理解。单方面实施过时政策反映了她与学生和教职员工需求和愿望的脱节。行政部门必须重新考虑其方法，并进行建设性对话，以促进更具包容性和进步的学习环境。
我们的请求：
重新评估和调整政策：学校应重新考虑并修改政策，以更好地满足学生和家长的需求。与家长社区进行开放对话，确保变更透明且包容。
行动呼吁：我们敦促所有家长齐心协力，表达我们的关切。让我们倡导开放的沟通、同情心和强有力的学校行政领导。
通过利用互联网和社交媒体的力量，我们可以确保集体的声音被听到，并推动我们希望看到的积极变革。团结起来，
我们可以产生重大影响，确保学校继续为我们的孩子提供一个有爱心和有效的环境。让我们为了孩子们的未来团结起来。
您的支持对让我们的声音被听到并为学校社区争取最佳结果至关重要。
