i m curious on when phonics being taughted in K1 in PAP kindergarten.
The 1st mth since school open has almost passed. but my little girl still has no idea abt phonics when i pointed the eng letters to test her.
And there is a 自闭症儿童 in the class which makes the teacher a little bit distracted by this kid. (To make it clear, I do not have discrimination on these special children. but from my point of view, they should not stay with normal children. ) how can they allow this happens? I dont understand. So i m thinking of change to a private one, even it costs much more. -

Talk to the P about it.
Normally, if they get a special needs student, the P can request for additional teachers/teacher assistant. That was what I understand from my friend who is an educational psychologist under PAP kindies. -
yeah, i think other parents complained on this. So they let the kid’s mother stay in the classroom.
But it is still weird. This kid lives in her own world and she has no response on anything, she cannot communicate and play with others. Sometimes she suddently stand up and do sth dangerous. her behavior cannot be predicted.The teacher has to be v fast to stop her, heard from other parents.
My concern is all these will have negative effect on the rest 19 normal students. I dont want my girl to be affected or harmed by her. -

However, the school cannot reject without valid reason too.
I guess the parent also hopes that her child will be able to go to mainstream schools.
Actually, the P should be able to get the EP to come in to do assessment and if need, they will transfer her to special kindy (e.g. Metta Kindergarten).
Just curious, where do you stay? Is it because there's no special needs kindy nearby? -

I also know that we cannot purely blame on school.
it is not a new problem.
when my girl was in nursery there, this kid was also there.
I feel the same way. her parents want her to stay with normal kids. but it is a bit selfish.
Actually initially after balloting for K1 morning class, this girl is not in. but after school open we see her again. -

sophie80, in what way do you think that student will have a negative effect of the rest of 19 normal students or your girl harmed? -

Hi Sophie 80
Your remarks of the special need kid are quite discriminating. I do hope that Singaporeans nowadays are more open-minded and more educated so as to prevent discrimination.
Afterall, we are all Singaporeans and all of us should be one united people, regardless of race, language or religion…or do you think we should add in regardless of IQ level too?

I do not have discrimination on these special kids. 自闭症儿童 need special care. The ones irresponsible are her parents. Her teacher and even the principal had both talked to her parents for many times.
自闭症儿童 could do dangerous things which they dont realise. There was one time during last chinese new year, teachers were showing kids about how to make chinese dumpling in the class. Teacher asked other students to stay away from the pot. But that kid just stood up suddenly and walked straight to the bowling pot. If the teacher could not stop her, can u imagine what would happen next?
