Hwachong in the News (Ms Jiang Lai)
I believe you have heard of Ms Jiang Lai, the former school teacher who created a whirlwind on STomp after someone came across a post from her blog talking about which elite school boy would make the best boyfriend. In the post, she mentioned about how ACS was the best school to have a boyfriend while dissing other school such as Hwachong and Raffles.
After the incident, she proceeded to make another scene by changing her mind, saying Hwachong was the best, wanting to get her student, Misheel, into Hwachong. She came down to Hwachong and demanded to see Dr. Hon but worthy of his title, he refused to see her.
I personally believe that this entire situation was a fiasco created by Ms Jiang Lai to attract attention from both the press and the public. I think that the public has been very unprofessional in dealing with attention-seekers such as Ms Jiang Lai. They responded overwhelmingly, giving Ms Jiang Lai the attention she wanted. A large majority of these responds belonged to outraged Hwachong students who could not resist the urge to challenge her statements. One foolish student, Soh Hwa Jin, even met up with her to prove her point about Hwachong boys being ugly. I will not be naming names but I know that some of my friends, luckily only a rare minority, have added Ms Jiang Lai on facebook, requesting to be friends with her. I feel that they should not do this as it boosts Ms Jiang Lai's ego. The best way to deal with this problem is to ignore her. I praise Dr. Hon on his ability to resist the temptation of dealing with her.
In similar future scenarios, I hope that Hwachong students will be mature enough to ignore trouble makers such as Ms Jiang Lai and carry on working hard both in their studies and their CCAs.

It is quite evident that you have expressed the incident of Jiang Lai well. I feel that you have described the incident in detail, and explained the reasons behind Jiang Lai's unacceptable behaviour. Overall, I feel that this is quite a good reflection, and I applaud you for your hard effort. Thank you. :)
