Whirlwind:

Just a note: If anyone is looking for P3 Discover Maths books, we got them today at Clementi Mall Popular (text and activity books all available; best to call and confirm first though). Seems to be out of stock at many places.

I was told by the staff that not many schools use Discover Maths Books now, so there are limited stock. So i literally had to call the Popular Book Stores prior to making a trip down to purchase them..sigh!!!

Chanced upon this thread and wanted to check what parents think of school doing away with the half yearly Parents-Teachers meeting.

[titank]

The Principal said parents can always communicate with the teachers by telephone call or email. This could be the reason the 6 monthly parent meet teacher do not hgave it anymore. :imcool:

[gerber]

I always the there is difference between face to face meetings as opposed to phone call or emails. Besides, PTC allows parents to gather feedback from all teachers in one go. My opinion is that such communication platform should not have been removed.


The school should probably also review the attitude of the vendors they appoint. Went to purchase books yesterday and saw the vendor quarreling with a parent. The vendor insisted the student was running away from payment and the parent was fuming mad. Despite the parent reiterating that she should not used the word ‘trying to run away’, she repeated at least 5-6 times. Gosh! School probably can’t control this though.

It actually depends what kind of questions you are asking, if they are general questions, then a PTC would be ok, however, should it be specific to your child behavior/learning capabilities...etc then either via email/phone call /meet up when you pick your kid/s will be the best.

Most of us are working parents and some may have biz travels hence frequent PTC may not be so good. It also takes up the teachers time having to organise them.

As for school vendors, I do agree there is a need to review some of them. Apparently, they have been the incumbent vendors for some time already and may begin to rest on their laurels.. :evil:

BTW, is your kid in P1 nxt year? You may want to pose the question to Mrs Wong during the P1 Orientation as to why the PTC frequency has been reduced /removed and hear her response.

My kids are in p4 and p6 respectively next year. They used to have the PTC session but with the new principal this year, the school eliminated it. I managed to email the form teachers to solicit feedback and fortunately, they are rather responsive. Having said so, am still In favor of PTC

How is the situation of the bookshop compare with last year

? Heard there are some books or materials no stock in Popular & many parents went to quene.

Did the vendor place any notice to inform what books or items there is no stock? Wait quene until then discover this & that don't have where sure :mad: :mad:
