[Seng Kang] Primary Schools

Yes, this is really a surprise even to myself, is NC, u r right! It is damn loud, thinking a child or class must have upset the teacher till she cannot take it anymore. Our first hearing was in fact when we are registering ourselves at gourd house. Anyway, we dun even know or no concrete evidence to feed back which is the class. To be frank, only tat particular class or maybe the security guards will know best. Anyway, i dun know well abt the teachers there but my first impression of the principal is very good. The rest I dun know but he is one man tat really cuts to be a educator. Actually, regardless whichever school it is, it teach us an lesson tat we should always have a good chit chat with our children to find out more of their daily activities in school. They are the best story teller to you, trust me!

Not gourd but guard house.

i think i heard the same thing as Deity but just that i din heard the shit thing. i was bringing my children to the childcare and on the way climbing up the stairs towards the higher ground where the clinic was, there was such a loud shout from the school that i nearly fell down the stairs and would have rolled down the road and ganna killed by oncoming traffic. The teacher was shouting so loudly that i think the whole school can hear and from the accent, can tell it is a PRC teacher. At that point of time, i was beginning to doubt if i make the right choice to send her to NC.

NC hire PRC teachers, boost up the standard of Chinese taught in school.


however some PRC teachers are rude bec their childhood upbringing wasn’t from SG, different culture, different from our SG born & bred Chinese teachers. So not surprised they shit here, shit there in their language.

I think such things happens everywhere and in all schools. If one off, I think it's ok and if P heard it, he will address it himself. No matter what, teachers are still human, as long as it's not chronic or becomes a culture in the school. If so, I don't think the school can stand for long, some more if \"famous\".

[larkspur]

yah, maybe i will ask one of the mummy whose kid in p1 this year about the culture. Just hope it is not a norm.

[Deity]

Yes, I agree with all comments above. Most important, pupil should speak up for himself or herself. Scolding are ok but they should not set bad examples to the children. Who will expect their child to come back and apply this words immediately. I used to get such scolding too from my school, my uneducated mum went straight to the school. And told the teacher off that you will cause a bad image and also bad childhood to my child. Tis will cause ur children to lose confidence sooner or later… Worst still, probia of going to school!

[larkspur]

Deity, ya i agree we should find out out about the activities and their days in schools from our children. Some parents just leave it to the school and not really bothered what is happening.

[Deity]

Thanks larkspur… Looks like we share the same thought! So should you discover any amiss after listening to your child, one should not be afraid to step out and raise out to the school. Dun treat it as small issue, as they are not at the age servicing army nor during our times… Ok let’s close it here and hopefully such popular school can maintain up to it’s standard otherwise disappoint so many PV, Grassroots members and other clan especially their efforts putting in…

hi all KS parents of P1 to be,

i was like all of you (parent of P1 to be)last year , trying and praying hard to get my gal into SK top primary school, due to the place i stay etcs ,i decided to try the gadget school(NVPS) ,where students as early as P2 bring lappy to school .As of now, my views on this school , still on the positive side and i think this school will be stress out this year as their first/pioneer (only one P6 class)will under go the PSLE.
All SK residents :yikes: will be on this school .Results of this year PSLE will tell thousands words to all .
