Another mommy complained to the principal that her kid has to do the grammar book from page 20+ to 90+ ! I wonder if her kid heard the teacher wrongly.

Agree with you that the gal probably misinterpreted the teacher’s instruction. In my boy’s class, the grammer exercise was not done in the order indicated in the content page but rather it was based on the topic that the teacher was teaching at that time. -
tamarind, guess that’s ME who complained to the principal abt the homework from Grammar Workbook. You were standing near? I cant recognise you leh.
And well, after I checked with her teacher, she said that it was supposed to be ‘class’ work as she was not in sch last Wed. And I wonder how many kid has the ability to complete so many pages in the class in one day!!! My gal interpreted it as ‘homework’ as she couldnt finish all those pages in the class. Sigh…
Another mummy was sharing that she even take one day leave to help her boy to complete those ‘homework’.
I not sure how my gal is gg to progress with the same teacher for her first 2yrs in the school so having thot of changing sch for her long term’s benefit. -

Hi All,
My daughter is also in WG P1 (G) 2011.
She only gets bit of homework mostly english and maths. Mandarin I seldom see the homework.
Well she is ok mostly, but reacently realize bit careless in her test and all. Does not check her spelling, forget to complete 1 question etc…
The only complain that I have regarding WG teaching style is that: the teacher does not return the worksheets until the exams are near. Not enough time to find out the common mistakes done by DD and teach her to avoid them.
DD’s reading comprehension is the worse. She is bad both in English and Mandarin.
Really wondering how to make her improve the reading comprehension area which is very important.
Any parent can advise regarding this…
She will be having her Paper 2 from tomorrow… just hope is more careful this time… -

Sigh… another issue with dd’s form teacher.
Last Fri, rec’d call from my mom to complain abt the teacher. I forgot to give dd allowance so she went to ask from her teacher. And her teacher told her that she herself has no money. Sigh… in the end, dd starved for the whole day cos she attended remedial class from 9am then normal sch till 6plus in the evening.
Dun understand why the teacher didnt help dd to find food since she herself dun have money also.
Not sure if it’s my dd’s luck to meet such teacher or what. Sigh -

. Sorry to hear this abut your girl and it is definitely not the right thing to do as a Teacher! :frustrated: :mad: :rant:
I suggest that you bring this matter to the attention of higher authority - best is to the VP or P. A child's well-being in school is the responsibility of the teachers. -
Hi Champion,
My mom is gg to see the P today and check it out. Yday dd said ano classmate also got no money to eat and teacher said sorry she got no money and ran out of biscuits too. Sigh -
Hi Giggler1
Sorry to know about what happened to your dd. I think I will bring this matter up to the teacher and see what is her response first, before I esclate. (I will not be happy about this too).
The parent teacher meeting this Thursday is a good chance for you to tell (grill) her on this.
Lastly, if you don't mind, can you share with us what is the P/VP response to this? As I will like to know how they handle incidents like this. Thanks
