Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary

I felt sorry when I read this. This ain't right for the poor kid. Based on this example, I'm sold on the collage idea already.
It seems that she IS friendly to students and has compassion. It is from her conversations with students that she found those in weak classes have inferiority complex. For eg, she said that when she asked the child which class is he/she from, the child did not dare tell her he/she is from \"Patience\". so sad...
Forget about my previous reservations about 近朱者赤，近墨者黑. Though I can understand if some parents still feel uncomfortable with the whole collage concept. -

I feel very sorry for the child. There are always pros and cons for choosing one way or the other. For the ease of the teachers and more learning pleasure for the students, banding is good. But I too, think that elitism or inferior complexes are definitely not what I want my kids to have.

Pei Hwa is popular and has a WOW factor...tough exam papers and fierce teachers. When I meet parents who have kids in other schools, they tell me how academic driven PH is.
I do wish the principal is friendly and acknowledges the students when they greet her. This reminds me of the principal I had in secondary school who only acknowledges the students who have rich parents. :x
As for the principal, when mine was transfered to PH mid last year, she personally spoke to her ex-FT and my girl. She remembered her by name to follow up on her adaptation into the new environment. I was quite touched by her acts. -

Not from my personal Encounter with Her and from What I gather from my DD ....
DD found her \"FROSTY\" and \"LONG winded\" - esp during morning assembly, keep droning \"ON and ON\" about the same Topic repeatedly .... Students are Not allowed to Read, Not allow to Doze Off :snooze: (Of Course Not! Told my DD that ) .... \"But Keep Listening to the Same thing Every Morning, Very Difficult to Keep Awake-Lah!\", she Retorted ....
Spoken to my Gal's friends / Classmates in Upper Primary (P4 to P6), She is NOT really a Well-Like Figure among the Gals ....
\"....the child did not dare tell her he/she is from \"Patience\"....\"
R U sure it's not becoz the Kid is Scared of Her? And Not Becoz of Inferiority Complex?
Frankly, I have 2 Older Boys who have \"Graduated\" from PH in early years .... ONE in Patience Class, the Other in Hope Class ....
Have the FULL experience of HOW Academic PH is in their Approach ....
They Really concentrate a Lot of Effort on the Academically \"BRIGHT\" students .... For those Not so Good Academically, U really have to Put in the Effort Yourselves ....
Ever Reprimanded my DS (in Patience Class in those days) on Getting \"BIG RED DUCK EGGS\" for his Chinese Me-Xie, \"Don't Your Teacher scold U for such Bad Results?\"
DS happily Grin and Reply in Mandarin, \" Mei Kuan Xi de, Lao shi bu hui Mah de ....\" (Don't Worry, Teacher never Scold at ALL)
And for the Rest of his Me-Xie in the year, He happily carry Back \"ALL the BIG RED DUCK EGGS\" Home ...... Afterall, Teacher Don't SCOLD What! -
Trapwithin:
That's what I heard too and have Happily Anticipated New \"Management\" when she was transfered to PH FOUR LONG years ago ....
I remembered her having a very good reputation when she was heading St Hilda before coming to PHPPS.
But Sadly, was disappointed and I much prefer the Previous Principal Ms Chan, who was transfered to MOE ....
If U want to Talk about Friendly, Compassionate, Strict, Discipline, and Caring for the School and Kids .... She's the One that most Parents, Teachers, Students remember for ....
U will Learn More if U try Talking to the Teachers who have been serving both principals ....
In Fact, current principal is very authoritative and Not very Receptive to Suggestions, unless its Hers .... -
Whoa Funx3, really can sense your displeasure at the current prinicpal. You very no-holds-bar hor :!:
Can tell you must be very upset from your ds’ previous experiences in the sch -

Oops, Pai-se, :oops:Whoa Funx3, really can sense your displeasure at the current prinicpal. You very no-holds-bar hor :!:
Can tell you must be very upset from your ds' previous experiences in the sch
think I Big Mouth, Talk Too Much ....
But All these are gathered from What we talk about among Parents, with Teachers, with the children, their friends, the Coach, ....
During \"Waiting for Kids to Finish Class / CCA / Enrichment\" Chit Chat Sessions ....
And I'm into my 3rd kid in PH now ....
For my ds, I have Long adopted a \"Don't Worry, Be Happy\" Attitude ....
Rub Off from Him to Me :love: :love: ....
I Used to Scream the Whole HDB Block down when I \"Studied\" with him in the OLD days .... What with the pressure from Working Long Hours, Studying Part Time, and \"Coaching\" my 1st Child FULL time in the Evening .... Am Really \"MAD\" those Days!!!! :x
But Now .... More Mellow ..... Que Sera Sera ..... -

parents play a very important role in the upbring of the kid....parents & school must work together in this aspect.... -

I had a personal encounter regarding this issue and it is very true and the problem is getting serious that the school really needs to rectify immediately. i wish i could share my experiences with all of you but i can't do that because the kid is still in PH. my personal view is that parents' involvement in kids' learning journey is very, very important. that is one main reason why i am so active in the support group.

When we first stepped into the sch compound 4 years ago, the pupils wld greet us by stopping in their steps and bow.
Now the pupils just dash pass us.
What had changed in these four years?
In my elder boy's first CA1 with PH, he scored 92/100 in HCL (keep in mind he studied NC from P1 to P3). I met the elderly CL teacher during the parent-teacher meeting and commented that the CA OE compreh was not as difficult as I had imagined since PH is a SAP sch. And her reply was the sch wants to nurture the children, not pressure cook them.
But it seems all changed during these recent years. Not good enough to use P1 assessment books for P1 pupils, shld use one level higher.
The present principal was a teacher for many years before heading the GEP sch as a principal. I had a talk with her once, can tell she is very academic-driven.
