do you think parents will demand teachers: what can you do to help my child achieve 4A* in the coming PSLE or 6 pointers in the O levels?

I have heard worse. One parent asked the Principal how he is going to groom her child to be a President Scholar and why should her child attend this school?? :yikes:

my goodness, thought the parent should also ask the school how to groom the child to be our future president :siao: :siao: :siao:

If the child doesn't have the right qualities, the best teachers in S'pore also can't groom him.
Reminds me of a proverb: Can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Hi hquek,


Hmmmmm, so far it’s the ph, school hols, if ph falls on sat, mon hol (the 5wk wday rule), polling day off.

I’m the helpless mummy, so they don’t see me as monstor mummy heehee. I do chat with them outside PTC about my DD1’s progress heehee. As for my DS, I will focus on him once DD1 is in P1 evil laughter

No. I'm not referring to PH on Sat. that one I can understand. it was PH on a weekday. and if I recall correctly, they had a teacher's training day in the first half already. Another one is upcoming. I wonder if this is a teacher training college?

I wonder what will happen if the Principal started laughing and fell off his chair.....

Was this asked of a primary school or secondary school? The parent has high expectations.

In the end, the parent could not get any \"guarantee\" from the Principal and enrolled her child in another school. Dunno if she made deals with the other Principal as well?

don't think so.....my kindy not CC, so there's no designated teachers training day. The kindy already follows the term hols of MOE. I expect the teachers to be trained on those days, if they need to be upgraded.

now you know. But then this is about the P and how she is leading (to me, misleading) the school. Onboard the pirate ship and a bit difficult to come off (no vacancies anywhere else good).

Anyways, I do recognise many teachers have got hard lives and that there are monster parents who expect the impossible. I do salute teachers and admire them for I am unable to do the same.
