I Can Read - Discussion

[phtthp]

Who sue who ?


Icr sue lcentral, or the other way round ?

[sembgal]

I Can Read curriculum has not been revamped. LCentral curriculum was revamped before. I have both sets of materials and couldn’t tell the difference whether revamped or not, until my friend pointed it out to me and told me more than what I should have known.


If you have the cash to splurge, just send your child to ICR or LCentral.
At least there is a teacher to teach your child if you do not know how to go about teaching your child.

then any phonics school to recommend

Another thread has parents talking about LP and TAS. I think a simple phonics programme is good enough for my son. LCentral seems fine, although the centre is a bit hard to locate. Since they have been revamping their programmes, I guess their writers are still here!

I sign up to KS parents website this morning because I am so angry. Yesterday I got a call from some tout on my mobile phone, asked me to WITHDRAW my son from his English tuition centre and to JOIN I CAN READ tuition centre instead.


When I said I don’t want to do that, they asked me for my email address and contact details! Said they want to give me S$100? Do you think I am so dumb? I called CASE about this, they said it could be phishing, like that time happened to DBS Customers!

The tout sounds like a young kid. Dunno anything about my son, what class he is in, etc. JUST WANT MY PERSONAL DETAILS!

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON?

Dear MoseLee,

So sorry to hear about what's happened to you. At I Can Read, we are handling incoming calls from parents and responding only to parents' enquries from the affected centres (TIONG BAHRU, CHOA CHU KANG, TAMPINES, WOODLANDS, JURONG EAST, PARKWAY, GOLDHILL) where the franchise
ceased on 20 September.

We would like to clarify that we are not offering S$100 to anyone as this is not in line with our company policy. We are, however, offering a discount of SGD150 for all continuing students, as a token of appreciation for their support of I Can Read.

If your child is attending I Can Read at one of the affected centres, please kindly give our Ms Seah a call at tel: 64841271

All affected students will be transferred to our five, new I Can Read Centres at Goldhill, Marine Parade Central, Choa Chu Kang, Jurong East, Woodlands, Harbourfront (existing) or the nearest, convenient I Can Read Centres. The class schedule will remain the same day and same time for students.

Once again, we do sincerely apologise for any inconvenience or disruption caused by these terminated franchises.

Hi icanread,


Is Teacher Pearl going over? Can i enroll my boy to continue for teacher Pearl class?

[Alleevangogh]

I think I have this teacher too. Don't know exactly because my mother in law will send my boy for me. Long hair and tall? But my boy no improvement after long time. He went for some test, teacher say ok but the tester say he cannot do it. So fail :slapshead:

What happened to teacher? I didn't get any call...

[Alleevangogh]

I share somewhat same sentiments… Called centre this morning and my son’s teacher just left yesterday when she has class with my son today!!! How can such thing happen? She’s a teacher and just leave like that without giving thoughts to the students!!! It’s incomprehensible . I work also must give one more notice to my boss and I’m just a regular worker. A teacher is suppose to have passion and at least some responsibility ??? Whatever change the company has got nothing to do with me. Why are we the ones that suffer? Left me to believe she must have some better deals elsewhere. So mad so mad!!!

Dear Ajymum, glad to hear that your girl is now more advanced than anyone of her age after going through the I Can Read program, is there any way to contact you directly so that you can understand the difference when it comes to our programs? Warmest regards.
