I REFER to the report “Teacher who allegedly caned student 22 times still allowed to teach” (TheStarOnline, April 30).

I am an ordinary Malaysian citizen who attended government schools for 11 years. I have fond memories of my school years, especially during high school. I particularly enjoyed learning when I was having fun. I scored better in subjects in classes I enjoyed attending, and this was heavily dependent on who taught the subject and how the lessons were delivered.
