Heyya sunflower,


Don't you worry there... No misunderstanding whatsoever..
At least for me. I got what you meant.

As from an educator's point of view, its okay for feedbacks.
As long valid and constructive ones that can promote good
positive change. If the parent was not assertive enuf, the
other children within the centre may not enjoy the positive
improvements happening in the centre. So, thanks to her..
the other parents have a voice!

Like mentioned before, lets not do to others, what we don't
want others to do to us.. if it were us say.... at work...
We wud welcome a constructive feedback from the boss
(ie. \"Do you think you cud look into this cos i from what I've
checked, its already overdue..\") more than a complain (ie.\"Eh,
somebody complain that this is way overdue!\"

As long as feedback doesn't sound impossibly rude and
ridiculous, i think its fine..

Hiya Buds

Another busy period in the office thus the slow slow reply from me Hope everything is well with u .

buds:

>The said colleague told everybody she felt it was a demotion for her.
Personally, i prefer the younger kids classes. Children more cute and
innocent. And we can really see their improvement from cannot talk
to can talk non-stop, from cannot hold pencil to can write neatly and
colour inside the lines, etc. Not to mention, nice to huggie wuggie too!

>Guess, boss idea is to stop her from being the \"my pupils are big enuf
to do a lotta things and their own\" and too comfortable directing this
and that and all, to get her on her knees down with actual pre-school
life, where it all began... from the younger classes. And with small
children if she does her tongue lashing, sure they cry non-stop, so i
suppose boss wanna get her to curb her tongue too... and learn to treat
people with more love and care and most important, respect. Respecting
people doesn't mean with those who can already talk and able to have
tongue-wars, but all... including our cute babies. Human.

I'm glad to hear that..cos I hope it is not a norm for the supervisors to put teachers who performed badly in the younger children's class. It will be more worse as the kiddos are unable to say what they want. Honestly, even now, my boy is able to speak fluently, I don't really believe totally what he said..cos he will often tell me :\" Teacher beat me\" I'll take it w a pinch of salt (cos my boy occasionally doesn't say e truth)..just keep my fingers cross that the teacher, if really beat him, is becos of disciplining purpose & not due to rage.

shylyn:

My only worry is that the teacher will bear a grudge against my boy & mistreat him if i complain too much to the supervisor...

I didn;t know my statement will result in a furry of discussion .. :lol:
Actually, before giving feedback (not even complain) I'll make sure that it is worth the feedback..(eg the teacher kept on doing it or something that is serious enough) & I'll do it without any bias or accusation. Else, I'll speak to the teacher directly..but sometimes, with other kiddos around, it is really difficult to talk to the teacher.

If you reali need to speak to the teacher privately, do speak to the centre
manager or supervisor, so they can cover the teacher's duties during say
dismissal hours so you cud catch up with the teacher on your issues.

Sometimes, there are stuff to be said which are not enuf just to be written
in the communication book.

How's your boy doing of late?

Heheh...now its e down period..whereby u see me replying to your post at this time of the day..hee..else i'll drag the reply for a few days at least. So where hv u been? Seldom see ur posts on the thread..always on e lookout for your post cos they are always so informative and gd reading.

I enjoyed reading the posts u shared on Maths as I ran out of ideas to introduce Maths to my boy beside using his fave toy (car) to show him the concept of addition and subtraction..so far, he can understand the concept of one..but I wanted to have more variety..else not only boring to the boy but to the mum as well..hee..u got any suggestions?

Its rather diff to speak to my boy's teacher..cos we are always late for class blame it on mummy & dilly dally boy..heheh..even the teacher asked us whether we can be earlier for class However, the only time when I can speak to her f2f is when i popped by during lunch time (rarely though) to 'spot check' on what my boy is doing. Glad to say, the other time when i did so, i saw my boy being properly dressed (in PJ and socks but with his diapers this time, since he cannot hold his urine in sch during naps..he is able to do so at home though ) so at least I'm rest assured that my feedback was taken seriously.

btw, wanna ask u..what is the average age for kids to read & understand instructions on the worksheets and able to follow/do it correctly?

shylyn,

[quote]what is the average age for kids to read & understand instructions on the worksheets and able to follow/do it correctly?[/quote]'average age for kids to read' or 'age for average kids to read'?
my ds1 read and understood the instructions on worksheets only when he is in K2.
in K1 he can read, but doesn't know what the instructions meant. - that was a trying period for us.
