The Stomper feels that this can be likened to vandalism.
He also mentioned that the estate’s maintenance worker had to clean the mess up after that.
He says:
"The children were handed chalk by the teachers and were allowed to draw anywhere on the court.
“It is sometimes good to let kids express their creativity, but I find such actions are akin to vandalism.
“Eventually, it was left to the estate’s maintenance worker to clean up the mess at around 7.30pm.
“What were the teachers thinking?

SINGAPORE: Senior Minister of State for Law and Education Indranee Rajah has come out strongly against the perpetrators behind the two vandalism cases that occurred this week.
Ms Indranee said vandalism is not acceptable, pointing out that there are avenues for the public to express their views.
She said: "My view on vandalism, that's a no, no definitely… because you should respect common property. You should respect the areas that other people live in and what they see.
“If you have a viewpoint that you wish to express, there are ways and means of expressing it. You do not have to damage property to do that.”
On Wednesday, graffiti was found along the rooftop of Block 85A at Toa Payoh Lorong 4. Five 17-year-olds have been charged with vandalism.
On Saturday, it emerged that an SMRT train had been vandalised at the Bishan MRT Depot.
