In short, Pei Hwa parents have to work very hard to gather information. :yikes:[/quote]


Exactly!

Therefore, the intentions of parents who post here should not be questioned in a hostile manner. Otherwise, who would want to post anything in future, to share with existing and/or would-be PH parents?

Especially, working parents may not have many opportunities to interact with other parents.

Ok, time for me to \"let it go\"...

If one feels intimated when questioned about one's post, then one should remain as a silent reader.

Yes, evidence that some (or, one?) parents/parent are/is indeed hostile and trying to silence others from posting in a free and public forum.

Free and public forum does not equate to posting details of a private email publicly.


You mean that’s alright by you?

Well, if you think so, we’re definitely on different wavelengths here.

Bingo!!
I think the above highlighted words speak volume, and speak for itself, crystal clear, huh??
So if anyone feel intimidated, the only thing we can and should do, is to shut up and retreat into silence??
So Is this what should be taught to our kids??? :?
'Suffer' in silence!!? hm....

so the kids who have been shuffling around in between classes,
also should remain silent, don't reveal situation to parents(especially when school don't inform at all),
just to uphold the good impression of the school??
& hush hush about everything?? :?

Hello there..u losing the point (on purpose?!)
Please get onto the right track la..
we already mention that posting the exact email is not appropriate,
(stop harping on this 1 single thing, which is the only 1 u can pick on now!!)
but I feel that sharing on the existing staffing problem is ok,
as it will bring attention to parents of that same class who may be unaware of the situation, or maybe other class also have such problems?
so that meanwhile, while parents graciously give P time to solve the problem,
parents can render help to make sure their kids do not lag behind..
Thus I think it is ok to share HERE NOW, before P solve the problem.
Seriously, I will be fuming mad, if I ONLY get to know about this problem AFTER it has been solved..
Can u imagine how far behind a child will be lagging???

As a concerned P2 parent, I'm glad that someone shared abt this. If it was my kid's class , I wld be quite upset and anxious abt the children's progress...


Luckily my ds's teachers ( both form teacher & Chinese teacher) are quite attentive since the start of school. Just to share, jus today I received a phone call from one of them updating me on his status & weaknesses to look out for. I'm quite thankful for such feedback & initiative from the teachers.

Maybe I'm \"'luckier'' ( or worse, my kid's work is so 'bad' tt teacher keeps calling me) , but I do have friends who email or leave a msg with the teacher to underst their kid's progress once in a while & I think it works in a way too ( rather than just relying on that 1 x session of meet the teachers)

peace okay...it's not easy to be a parent nowadays
All parents will have some amount of stress, out of love & concern for their kids...

Berrymom,

You are lucky to have such teachers for your child. Some teachers will complain behind that parents harass them if we ask for feedback!

The thread in this forum should be secured with password and only parents of pei hwa parent networking group can access the information .

If the email had been a complimentary one, thanking the school for the wonderful things the teachers had done, then perhaps no one would object, even though it is private?


In any case, if any post contravenes the terms and conditions of this forum, we trust that the relevant personnel/authorities would politely ask the forummer to take it down. For the rest of us parents, no one is above another, to intimidate and question another, his/her intentions for submitting a post; much less have the authority to tell those who feel intimidated to remain silent.

Given the longstanding lack of communication between school and parents, if parents shy away from sharing information or alerting other parents to what is happening in school, then we would have to work even harder to obtain such information.
