NOT TOO CLOSE

'Teachers and students cannot be peers or friends...Some distance has to be maintained, a certain level of respect and decorum has to be maintained.'

MR CHUA CHOR HUAT, 41, principal of Ngee Ann Secondary

MEET IN GROUPS...AND IN PUBLIC PLACES ONLY

'I will advise teachers not to go out with students or visit their homes one-on-one. If needed, it should be in a group and it should be in open places, so no bedrooms.'

A VICE-PRINCIPAL of a primary school who has about 12 years of teaching experience

THREE'S NOT A CROWD

'I do not mind going out with students or having students coming over to my house, as long as there is a minimum number of three...But I won't go out with just one student, in case the student turns on me and twists words.'

MS LAURA YAP, in her 30s, a former teacher who had about five years of teaching experience
