[quote=\"cleo85\"]Dear all,


Couldn't make it to class this Friday with teacher heather. Went yesterday instead for replacement class with another teacher. For parkway branch, as far as I notice all teachers remain the same. Front desk also the same. Class resume as usual. From what I see things, new logo and new curriculum. After my girl finish the class, she look happy and told me she look the new books. Manage Spoke to the teacher about the programme and what's going on, she explained to me and say they are now totally different entity. No relationship with ICR. I ask if she will be transfer to the new centre. She told me no as their employment is with the current company. And also what's the difference with both programe.. Saw the reading class workbook and look very structure. Was there with my fren that is attending teacher Aaron class. He was explaining, the reading book kids friendly n help children to understand the story. Dunno about the other branches but what I know parkway team
still stay. I'm going to teacher briefing this Sunday. Update you all again.

What time are they holding the briefing?

I'm going to this Sunday at 615pm. Heather. They wrote the the notice board different teacher got different time. Which one u going?[/quote]I probably drop by at Goldhill branch instead.

The new centre also going to be the franchise of I can read. Will they be able to provide the same teachers. If the teachers are going remain to the same centre I hope we will remain to the same centre as English is going to be the same it always matters with teacher who is teaching it. So far find excellent progress in my child's reading skills. He was talking about colorful animals like peacock spider, macaw and were they live and about their habitats. All these general knowledge is not in the programs this all the extra work of teachers. His accent also changed a lot. Need to accept this. Also the new ICR is too far for us.

Agree with you. The person that is delivering the curriculum is very important for me. Though branding is essential too. But I def wan to understand more from my girl teacher first. I wan to know what is the impact.

Dear cleo85


I accept ur suggestion of going with branding as my hubby also telling the same.
I can read programme is not a one day job they might have researched a lot to bring out this way of teaching method. And it is used worldwide.

Dear gudmum,


For now i have decided to follow my child’s teacher. For the last few months she have proven to me and my girl. For now I do not wan to doubt or def say yes to the ICR or MES. Wanna go to the briefing first la, and most imp less changes will be better for the child.

Hi my DS is studying in\" I Can Read \" Westcoast plaza. We check with the staff, and was told that it is franchise of I Can Read. We just renew the new term fee yesterday. Now I'm confuse whether to continue. Need some advice. :?

[cleo85]

Oh I don’t understand. How come other ICR franchisees have set up their own brand but can still do whatever they want as Kids Love English?

[tulipee]

Hi cleo85,


Kids loves English used to be ICR (Toa Payoh)?

[cleo85]

I think it is a new brand set up by ICR Owners. Dunno why they want to have 2 different brands doing the same stuff.

New brand was not from ICR owners but is from the franchisees. I believe some of the franchisees hv set up their own brand. This is also why now ICR is taking legal action as per above post by ICR.

[cleo85]

No this must be another ICR brand. They have been in the market for some time but got no problem. Anyway I heard it from my fren after her assessment. That’s why ICR got no toa payoh branch
