I think I know who you are, Righteous. You too have your complaints abt the frequent excursions (in S'pore) and recently about the HK Disneyland de-tour trip.
Memory may have failed me about the 80-20% / 60-40% Chinese weightage bcos when I signed up my younger child back into HG, I did not go through the usual process of meeting the principal and reading thru the handbook as what NEW parents do. I had such strong faith in HG due to my older child's experience that I just went into the office to hand in a cheque immediately. However, as the terms progress, I noticed that there are differences between the kindy in earlier years and the kindy now. Thus I felt most disappointed and cheated. Whatever grouses between teachers and principal, should be ironed out without affecting the kids. Why don't I withdraw my child from the kindy? Well, she's happy with all her friends there, and does not realise what will happen when she enters primary level. I am in the midst of "pleading" with the principal to change her ways. She is aware of things said about her, but I do believe that both her and the teachers are equally at fault.
Righteous, St Hilda primary school has over 120+ teachers. Please do not compare to a small establishment like Holy Grace. If 'Another Surprise' is correct, having 3 teachers leaving HG in one term is a high percentage. The only remaining pioneer teacher is Mdm Chiam.
Another thing about 'china teacher leaving due to visa problem'... the china teacher is still in Sg, working elsewhere.
Has the Principal offended you in some ways? Your feedback does not seem constructive but more to destory the school and the staff!!
If you are so unhappy then move on! If not be more outfront with the school and work hand in hand to improve the current situation!!
No one programme will be able to meet everybody's needs. Have you tried finding out from the school what the trip is about? I did and I think the school had put in alot of hard work to improve its already very established programme.
Hi Query, no I have no issue with the principal. I just want the best for my child. I have been trying to work with the school in fact.... If not, I wouldn't 'plead' with the principal. Pls read my comments carefully. As to moving on.... if I come to the stage that I have to take my child out, then there'll be an issue with the principal.
The principal did say that many parents left without giving her the 'real' reason why. I, on the other hand, give her lots of inputs. Perhaps those are the ones who gave up, and moved on. I'm still working and trying my best to keep my child in the kindy (for my child's sake as not to have her move here & there)... so Query, why are you getting so upset over this? Do you follow this link very closely? It took only 15 mins after I posted, and your comments came in. I understand the principal also follows the forum chats online.
its obvious no one know who really is real in this forum. Its both good and bad. Well, every parent just want the best for the child. I beleive every principal and teacher too. But probably no one can love our child more than parents yet parents are not expert in teaching. There are good and bad staff and there are also good and bad parents.
Principal and teachers can only try their best but i have seen good intentioned teachers and principals with poor capabilities (analogy is one can love swimming but not neccesary can become a national or champion swimmer). Also i hv seen parents who are really misled or misinformed thus hvg poor parenting.
At the end of the day, kindy life is part of the bigger journey of life. And life is a very long journey. Do what you can, do what you need to either parents or staff. most importantly, learn and grow and learn and grow. Become better.
