Hi Ectanz, Actually Vevey is right. PTM is not compulsory. Used to be in term 2 & term 4 only & not limited to 11 parents only. Parents used to see their child’s form teacher only. It is not easy to book a subject teacher if he/she is also a form teacher of another class. Most parents will choose to book the form teacher if they do not know which teacher to choose. I think PTM should held over 2 days.


I have a P6 boy & P1 girl. I don’t see my boy’s teachers every term or every year. In fact, his last year form teacher only saw parents of those who did poorly in their exam. I am a stay at home mum, I could go down to see the teacher if necessary. For a working mum to apply leave just to see the teacher for 10 mins, might not be necessary, unless she has a concern.

Hi mummy so kiasu, thks fr yr comment. My child's FT replied my email and she can arrange to meet me and DH another day after PTM since her time slot was full on 23rd. However I was puzzled that why my child's class was allocated only 1 teacher for PTM and whereas the other classes are having 2 or 3 teachers. I am not sure whether this is due to my child's class is multi racial :? .

Since this PTM is not compulsory (initially I tot is compulsory), then I will not be so kancheong if I am unable to book a time slot for either of her teacher.

U r welcome, ectanz!

Actually, it's great that ur child's FT ok to meet u on another day, less of a \" production line\". Hahaha..

Can mummies who have P6 kids advice me on this? Do the kids need to go back to school during their June holidays? Which period & how long will it be? Planning of sending my boy to holidays programme before the PSLE.


:thankyou:

Hi Ectanz, At last you get to meet the FT. This must be your first child & first PTM, or else you will not be so kancheong. My girl is in 1E & their English teacher is not on the list. I can only booked the Chinese teacher since all the FT's slots have been taken up. I guess you only have one teacher on the list is due to the FT takes the class for both English & Maths. Just like me, don't know why the English teacher is not on the list.

Ya, u r right. My child's FT takes on English and Math. Beside these two subjects, she also in-charge of their other subjects such as social studies and FTGP. Not easy to be a lower Pri teacher. Juz heard fr my child that her Chinese teacher was in China for whole wk. This might be the reason why she is not in the PTM list.

When my boy was in P1 to P4, his FT took them for 2 to 4 subjects. It is easier to teach P1 to P4. Whereas, P5 & P6 teachers are specialise in certain subjects & they also have greater responsibility, due to PSLE. Some P6 classes are take by HOD & subject heads. Btw, FTGP is actually FT & her class bonding session.

I understand some P1 kids go to school at 11am everyday. Wed is speech & drama day but what about the rest of the days? Does the school ask those who don’t do well in their mastery test to go to school at 11am?

Wow..3 teachers yet can't get a slot? 33 slots for 30 students, maybe they are booked by other class students. Next round book earlier. Actually, not necessary to go every term. Waiting time is longer than meeting teacher time.
