      Can you imagine the MT teacher was \"on leave\" during the Teacher Parent Meeting Day? As a mother i can understand teachers also need to take leave as they have their own children but at least they should inform the parents in advanced right? then when i leave down a message to the MT HOD and requested the MT teacher to call back, well, no reply, email to her, no reply ... i am quite sick with the MT teachers in DLS (anyway some are good) . My boy very LUCKY, in P2, his MT teacher was pregnant, always sick and on leave, now P4, the MT teacher also pregnant and went for maternity leave already, i got no choice and have to spend money to send him to tuition or else how to catch up?

      Thats not nice. If last min leave have to inform you so that can reschedule or something... then if you are working you would have wasted your leave as well.

      Anna I am with you here. I am having problems with my DD's MT teacher now. Attitude problem. :stompfeet: And I think we just unlucky to get the not so good ones. :stupid: Sigh... to be frank after so many months in DLS, I find communication between teachers and parents severely lacking. I donno why but I feel like the teachers I have \"kena\" don seem to have passion. And frankly the only \"caring\" person I felt was the Operations Manager and the Asst VP when i raised some concern to them. They at least bother to contact and talk to me about my concerns whereas when I talk to the teachers themselves they got attidue problems. Sigh. Very :shock:

        but i not really "dare" to feedback to VP, i worry the teachers cannot take it and show attitude to my children. Hence, i got no choice to send them to tuition.


        Well, there are some good teachers also, example the P2 form teacher Mr Ang, he always "available" and reply me even at 10pm+, but of course we should not disturb them so much as they need to rest as well. P3 math teacher (left already) was always available to "teach" my son via sms especially during the exam week.

        The current MT teacher ---- according to my son, she only teach the "important" story as the rest are not examined. To be more detail, there are 3 stories in each chapter, the teacher only teach the "story" which is examined … in this case, do u think i got choice of not sending him for tuition?

          I also don want to complain over every little thing either otherwise later the MT pick on my kid then its worse for us.

          Actually MT didnt want to let me kid go toilet when she was urgent also on Monday. I was thinking one more time she don let her go and she wets herself and embarrass herself in frt of her friends and don want to go school anymore I will then raise this attitue MT teacher to VP and inform about the spelling list incident and not letting her go toilet when urgent. Cannot ask a child to keep holding bladder. Its not good for them.

          I think its really nice when Teachers give out their mobile nos. and as parents we also know not to disturb them too late. BUt those teachers kind indeed. I really salute these teachers for going this extra miles andthat really reply you anytime or promptly or even late at night are really being patient with us, parents.

          ??? can skip the others and only teached the examed one ah? :scratchhead: Then what is called knowledge? ONly teach them to be exam smart?

            SAHM Chew:

            [quote=\"Maxine\"]Hi all, my daughter is in 1F. Does anyone have the chiense spelling list for Term 2? Can email me? What happened was my daughter's classmate took her spelling list from her bag and as a joke probably hid it and when my kid asked back from him he said he donno where. I asked the MT teacher and she wasnt very helpful and reluctantly finally agreed to give an extra copy but she hasnt given to us yet and I am worried if she don give me by this week , my kid will fail chinese test next week...


            So my backup plan in case teacher don give is to ask if any 1F parents out there who has - can send me a copy ???

            Sigh..

            My son is in 1D. Not sure if it is the same list. If you want, can drop me a pm.


            Thank you SAHM Chew. I also not sure if the same but if it is I can stop worrying. I have dropped you a PM already with my personal email address.[/quote]I have sent you the email 😄

                  Ok let me give a better picture.

                  On Monday, my daughter came home. her Term 2 spelling list was taken from her bag by her classmate as a joke when she went to the toilet. When she asked for it back he said he dunno where. SO she came home without the spelling list. So I smsed her MT teacher to ask if can give extra copy of spelling list because it was misplaced and I will in future make extra copy. She replied me \"if no spelling list how to do spelling test tomorrow??\" SO I replied her \"We always teach one week in advance. So that has been taught to her. We need the list for next week's spelling test.\" She replied \"I will give an extra copy provided I have one.\" Wah. I don like the attitude lor. Then she told me my daughter havent passed up her chinese storybook creation. I said everyday I checked diary I didnt see anything mentioned about chinese storybook. She said its over March holiday and in diary. I check check don have. Either my girl didnt write or what. . So I asked her \"So, if you don have extra copy of spelling list can you email me a copy and i print myself or esle she will fail her next 2 week's spelling test.\" Then I think she knows if my kid fails I can raise a complaint so she toned down and said she will give me an extra copy on Wed. Then she suddenly became helpful and even advised me how to do the storybook and what is needed. And agreed for me to pass up before end of this week.

                  Yesterday Wednesday - My daughter came home and said no spelling list was given to her. I smsed MT Teacher again and she said \" I only got it today after school. WIll give her tomorrow.\" Fine.

                  Today Thursday my daughter came home with Term 1 list. When my daughter highlighted to her she learnt already , MT Teacher told her \"This is what your mother asked for.\"
                  I smsed her she gave me Term1 list at 3.39pm and till now she don bother to reply me.

                  So should i be fuming mad or not over her attitude? How can I possibly ask for Term 1 list when I told her I need for the next 2 week's spelling test? :stompfeet: :stompfeet: :stompfeet:
