Anyone with kids in sec 1 this year 2013? How’s the going?

[august24]

DS join GESS this year. He especially enjoyed the CCA orientation last Fri. Lessons started this week and he already had Maths homework yesterday. So far, his comments about the sch and his experiences were all positive.

My DS is also enjoying it. I find the kids there pretty disciplined. They are very polite too even the upper sec. My ds' class has three new boys transferred in to the school. Morning jam there is pretty bad, lots of flashy cars


Is it common to have 2 CCA days in a week?

[august24]

Nice knowing you, kamon. Not sure about the morning traffic as he takes public transport, and usually reaches sch half an hour early. My niece’s sch has 3 cca days in a week as she is in competitive sports, so my guess is 2 cca days in a week is quite common in sec sch. Will you be attending the welcome tea this saturday?

but i agree on the flashy cars part

Hi , any parents facing problems with Gess teachers or come across the principal or vice principal?

[kamom]

Which level? What is your issue?

One of the teacher were particularly rude during our conversation. That particular teacher had no sense of manners, she hang up the phone on me,

Most of the time when that teacher called up, her tone was rather hush, and
During the conversation, the teacher was aggressive and no tolerene. Have also spoken to the vice principal and she was rather protective, did not get to
My point. As a educator, respect for others is rather important as that shown how you must have treated the students you have taught. As a superior with so many teachers looking up to you, you have to be proven worthy but after that speech with the vice principal, I think otherwise. Was rather disappointing with how it all come up to.

Try talking to the principal?
