"How many of our leaders and top officers who say that every school is a good school put their children in ordinary schools near their home? (Only) until they actually do so are parents going to buy (it)."

Those were the exact words of Jurong West Secondary School (JWSS) vice-principal Pushparani Nadarajah, who was responding to speakers and teachers’ discussions of making every school a good one at the inaugural AsiaEducationExpo (AEX) 2013, according to a report by The Straits Times.

During the first panel discussion, which was attended by about 200 participants, several educators expressed hope that parents would recognise the efforts of all schools to bring out the best in students.

The neighbourhood school’s vice principal’s startling remark drew applause from those who attended the event.

Meanwhile, on social media, netizens are hailing her as a hero.

Memes are also being generated and some of them are going viral.

Frankly speaking, that's the kind of people we need in PARLIAMENT - someone who 'dared to be different' regardless of whichever party that one represents.​

Bravo ! She hit the nail on the head. We can start with the children of the younger ministers, and make sure that they declare their tuition status.​

That's the problem with the tabloid and now Yahoo! is following suit They like to highlight or slant the news to create some controversies. The full text probably don't really make a hero or villain out of her. Yahoo! could unwittingly get her into hot soup instead - as though that is the focus... More
