chs openly solicits teachers' day presents from parents
-
My DS’s school has this practice also. But it’s really put forth by the PSG and not the school. Honestly, I am a little uncomfortable with it, but am taking a ‘live and let live’ attitude towards it. But in terms of ‘corporate practice’, I think it crosses the line of propriety. The schools should police this, in my view.

in this case of CHS, it was not put out by the school too
is that website that twisted it with a misleading headline -

In general are groups like MC, Alumni and PSG outside the jurisdiction of schools’ P? I was very clear from reading the wanbao that the memo was sent out by the PSG. I’m disturbed because of the potential value of the prizes and recipients are teachers.

I don't see any problem with it if those who donate the prizes are willing and eager to do so. Nobody forced them to donate. Most who donate are very able to do so.
They don't do so to get their children into school or get good grades, bc that is not possible. No point getting good grades when eventually they go thru PSLE, right? And I've seen how many staunch supporters of the school (thru voluntary work as well as financial donations) - their kids not being able to continue on to affiliated secondary school, so all parents know that donating money or time does not ensure their child a place in the school. Of course there are those whose kids do so well, they also \"abandon\" the school and go to RI down the road lah - then who is going to say who benefitted??? hahaha...
The Principal always says that PSLE results day is always a day of mixed feelings for him. Those who do well will usually not stay in the school so he has to say bye-bye to them. Those who don't do well, also he has to say bye-bye to them. Oh well.
And I don't understand why \"bc the recipients\" are teachers is a problem? Is having a D&D in school worse than having a D&D in another Cost-centre style organisation? -

I'm not affiliated to CHC, not one of the wealthy parents who donate, but have put 2 of my sons thru CHS Primary, one is in CHS secondary, and one will be a future CHS pri boy in a few years... No big problem to me. -
