All Schools are GOOD Schools

Never in your experience does not mean such cases don't exist. But I sincerely hope instances like my experience are very rare. On the whole, (despite my share of some not-so-good teachers) I think most of the teachers I encountered have done a relatively good job.[/quote]they are NOT rare. very common. already experienced with 2 of my kids already.
never in our experienceverykiasu2010:

Educators will not willingly accept comments/feedback from parents.
They feel they are always right...and if we parents really voice out our unhappiness, our kids will suffer repercussions after that. Do we want our kids to be black marked by the teachers ?
Attend PTMs and listen to what teachers tell me...don't volunteer any info. Just smile and get it over.
feedback or complain or whatever-we-want-to-name-it, if its something that teachers don't like to hear, if it's got something to do with their teaching style or their personality, etc, kid will surely kena. Either will have less leadership opportunities, more scoldings in class, etc.
Now i experienced already. For the sake of my youngest kid who is still in the school and who may eventually get the same teacher in years to come, i try to close one eye. -

How about calling the MT teacher for a meeting to address your worries? Ask her if she has any resources to share, any special ways to work with your son. My son's P1 MT teacher told me the best way to improve is by reading more storybooks.The problem is my son doesn't like to go to tuition.I can afford a cheap tuition.
He said learn from his T and Teach him.But no MT PTM in my school and they put their email id in their website,only HOD's id there.My son refused to bring the school diary to T. -

The office never give the ts numbers easily.u have to fight with them like many times call and pass a memo to t.Then only T call us.After that u cannot contact for ur life.I don't understand why a big struggle to contact a T.Last year I experienced for E.

[/quote]You mean the teacher's personal number? If you are requesting for that, I can understand why the school made it so hard for you.
Another way is to just request for a brief meeting after school.
Don't worry, you will still get to hear from the teacher. Just that got to be more creative. -

Sorry, I mean, MOE should check that the teacher is truely competent in English before he/she's allowed to teach English in school. Ditto for other subjects.[/quote]OIC thanks!
I emailed the HOD... that should work?Chenonceau:

For the benefit of the students in general, perhaps you can consider writing to MOE to inform them your DS's English teacher's incompetency problem (without mentioning names), so that MOE could do something about it? -
Hi chamonix!
I will try my best then i will update here. -

Don't put the child in difficult position...he/she still has to face the teacher everyday. When I emailed my son's teacher to ask what will be tested for CA, she made him stand in front of class and repeat after her. My son was boiling mad :slapshead: I got a scolding when he returned from school. He told me never to email her again.

that is a bloody mean woman.......... :mad: :spank: -
Yup, she was totally cruel to do that to a child, and her student. When hubby and I met her for PTM, naturally it wasn't 'shiok'. She was also the FT. There was absolutely no reason why she had to make him stand in front of the class. What's wrong with a parent asking what will be tested for CA? :mad:
