Day#2
Teacher :\"Why are you wearing PE attire today?\"
P3 :\"My mother asked me to wear PE today\"
Teacher :\"Is your mother the new school Principle?\"
What do you think about the teacher's remark?
Hmmm.. this is just my personal thought. Could it be the message get distorted somehow? When my kids started P1, they also brought back some funny feedbacks. We monitored closely, talked to them alot, asked them lots of question to find out more. Eventually we realised that kids at time don't know how to convey message properly. At times, they will misinterpret what the teachers have told them. Sometimes, we must also find out what the kids have told the teachers, because at times our kids could have conveyed the wrong messages to the teachers or convey it in a very rude way. In fact, we talked to teachers alot and we show that we are willing to cooperate with them. We even tell the teacher that if our kids misbehaved, please go ahead and discipline them. Trust the teachers because they are trained and work with them closely, in this way kids will have a good and better environment to grow. We told our kids that don't hide anything from us because we talk to the teachers a lot. My elder girl ever asked me whether we will scold her if she is naughty in school. I told her that naturally we will be upset and scold her but it is for her own good. It is better that we get angry and scold her rather than she gets into big trouble later. She understood it and now my kids share everything with us even if they got punished by the teachers. In fact, they are getting better each year both in their studies and character
It is very natural that we will get worry when the kids enter P1, but relax, just monitor closely and trust the teachers, the kids will be in good hands.
also, if the parents are perplexed, we got emails that we can dropped to the teachers, and maybe, in an open, relax manner just inquire about the incident..Just open the communication channels. No harm. -

Let me share two scenarios (out of so many..hee) that happened on my kids. Elder girl, get scolded by teacher, after that she drew on a book that she hated the teacher. We saw it, questioned her. She explained and claimed that she was not in the wrong. We explained to her that it is not right for her to do that no matter what and there is always a reason why she get scolded by the teacher (in fact, we know our kids character very well so we can easily tell whether she is at fault. Also, the girls always share with us many things, so we already know that the teacher has always been nice to her :P). Anyway, she told us that it was written long ago and the teacher has been very nice to her because she has corrected her mistake..haha. Next, our younger daughter was angry and said that she bought orange juice and poured into her water bottle to drink. Her teacher threw it away, pour drinking water in and asked her to drink water instead. (In fact, the day before, we have dropped an email to inform that our daughter is sicked and also to excuse her from PE. Teacher thanks us for informing her). We explained to our daughter that her form teacher is very good to her because she knew that she has just recovered from cough and fever, that is why she wanted her to drink water instead of cold drinks. You see, when you try to put yourself in teacher's position, you will learn to appreciate what the teachers have done to your kids. Open communication is very important and always try to find out the details. I think we only wrote to their teacher once or twice in a year to inform or find out something. Younger daughter's teacher ever waited for us to pick her in order to inform us what our kid has done wrong so that we can talk to her at home

What do you think about the teacher's remark?
i was about to ask my kid to wear pe tomorrow cos it has been so hot. 
but wait .... P3 as in pri 3? They should have their timetable already.
Known the teacher by sight cause I been at the school several times doing PV job past years, but I don't think it's proper to mention name & class here. Have been thinking whether should I report this incident to the school? What you guys think? Wonder the kid parents know about this? Would they take action or rather worry that the teacher will then be prejudice?? :scratchhead:[/quote]actually what you heard is considered \"mild\". :faint: :faint: i know ..... :faint: :faint: but i've heard of worst encounters with some teachers. not trying to scare anyone here, but nasty teachers do abound in every school.
of coz you can feedback ..... although the principal say can approach him, parents can't be seeing the principal for every single matter. Hv got to teach our kids to hv the right attitude whatever the circumstances, whoever the teachers.
maybe can ask the P to read KSP forum for feedback? :rotflmao: -
Thanks for your feedback AhBa0.
