Anyone have feedback fro Yew Tee Branch? I am insterest to send my girl there for P2 class.


Thanks in advance

My girl was there whole of this year, taking the P1 prep class. She just finishes her last lesson last week. Some of my feedback:-

Things I like:-
1) the worksheets...content coverage is good, in line with MOE syllabus and children are learning advance work.
2) environment - new place. Neat and looks good esp from outside
3) Teachers are all NIE trained, either ex or current school teacher. My girl's teacher is a former Pri school teacher

Things I dislike:-
1) classroom space is cramped...no room to move ard and basically children will sit on their seats the whole day
2) No communication of kid's progress. Teacher will not take the initiative to tell u your child's strength/weakness. Of course u can check with the teacher at the end of the day and thus far the response from her is 'ok'..I find that not really helpful. Prob she is rushing to go back too cos it's 9 plus by then
3) Admin staff not really friendly
4) Children have to use the toilet at the mall cos the centre does not have toilet inside. Security issues as I dun feel safe abt it. At pre school level, the admin staff will bring them along but comes to P2 onwards, they have to go to the shopping mall toilet themselves.
5) No makeup on holidays, so must be careful in selecting the days.

Above is purely my viewpoint for your reference. Make a trip down and see for yourself. Every parent expectation differs. :celebrate:

24hr-mum,

i shd hv read this before answering your pm. So now how i kn mindstretchr carry out their creative writing. Bt after copying a model compo, when the kids draft their own, wont they tend to follow the model compo or eithr cut and paste some part?
