[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]There is a China girl in the class who did terrible things to her...like staple her arm, but my daughter told me she informed the teacher. There are bullies everywhere, not necessarily more so in all girls school.

Poor girl. :snuggles:

I hope your DD is not too affected.

Can request teacher to let them sit apart? :idea:

Actually this girl from China gives a lot of problems in school. She disturbs the class when teacher is teaching or else does terrible things to the other girls. Being the tallest, she sits by herself right at the back so that she can't bully. The teachers are fed up but can't do much

My daughter sits right in front.[/quote]Why can't the school suspend her?

School wants to give her a chance. Apparently this girl has been telling lies and she is only in P1 :yikes: . Suspect she created so much trouble bcos she wants to go back to China.

Hi bigsnoopy,


I was heartache & angry when I heard about the naughty China girl bullying her and that P6 girl. Kept reminding daughter to stay away…as for the P6 girl bullying case, it happened right before the cctv in front of daughter’s class. The P6 girl was caught on tv and punished in front of the school during assembly.
My daughter knows how to speak up, but I’m upset the girls now bully one another.

Hi Janet,


Advise your DD to find some fren(s) she can get along with and stick together during recess. With this, there is lesser chance of bullying.

My DD same age as your DD. Good thing that her P1 class girls are pretty close and they stick and play together during recess. I’m less worried as my DD quite a strong character and she will not keep quiet if bullied.

[phtthp]

does the school send this China girl bully for counselling … that it’s wrong to bully other kids in class ?

[bigsnoopy]

I think the parents should also play a part. But surprise to hear that there is still public punishment these days. Thought they don’t cane students in the public and use 爱心to teach.

Thanks for your advice. My gal is quite a chilli padi. She will tell me what happens in class/school, and reminds me not to call the teacher as it is 'settled'. No choice, have to take her word.

In this case, I think you need not worry too much. If your gal can tell you she has \"settled\" with teacher, then it is ok. It is those kids who have issue not \"settled\", dare not tell teacher, or timid type that need more attention in this area.

I’m trying to prepare my twins (boy/girl) for P1 next year.


Currently, my girl is reading pretty well; she is reading independently on books that has 50-80 words per page. My boy is slower and very poor in phonics.

I’ve enrolled my boy to Kumon and I believe that it will help him. With the same workbook I can share with my girl too.

For Chinese, I have the Chinese flashcards which will help get them recognize more words.

Coming to maths… it’s the same issue with my oldest boy: They have problems doing word problems. I’ve played monopoly game with them and at the same time teaching them how to count money but I think more can be done.

I think the best approach for this is to use some games that allows the children to think algorithmically, or at least train their math thinking process.

Is there such a game?
