Dear all,


My girl's form teacher told her that the wordings she wrote outside her exercise book (where her name, class, subject is to be written) is ugly. she told her to ask me to write for her instead.

my gal came back very sad.

wondered should i be glad that her teacher is so frank to her? :?

My first reaction in your case would have been to label the teacher siao - but that's not advised. So, first chance I get, I would probably speak (nicely) with the teacher and understand where she is coming from.

Haizz, the teacher expectations very high? Gosh, not all kids have copperplate handwriting. Anyway, define NOT ugly - it's a P1 kid for goodness sake.

For your girl, boh pian, just encourage her to make lemons out of lemonade and prove the teacher wrong. Sorry about your experience - it really is a downer on start of school.

In my kid's case, the school told us (parents) to fill in for him - guess that's good becos though my handwriting not good, at least it does not have direct impact on my kid.

[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]How come a P2 student can be a buddy ? They are in the school just a year ago ! Son's school had P2s to be buddy to P1s once but changed to P5s after that.

Partial single session schools have no choice about that, since only P1 and P2 students are in the PM session.

Hi rainbows,

My son has ugly handwriting since P1. His Chinese is worst ! I explained to him to improve bcos he will be penalized if teacher doesn't understand...don't get me wrong, if you find your daughter's handwriting acceptable, don't have to take what her teacher said to heart.

Agree. My son also has ugly handwriting when he was younger but as he grows, it gets better. Guess for now, we need to encourage them, make them like school and slowly correct them.

My girl's handbook also stated 3 days but on the 2nd day no parents were allowed to go in anymore. My girl school buddy also from P2, some of them r so small size, if not for the name tag, I won't be able to tell which is P1 n which is P2

I wonder if we are in that same sch?! P2 as buddy...it seems they need some guidance 2. I guess the sch wants them to grow up and take the role as a leader soon. Aniway, I ve got no comments abt what had been stated in handbk. (No doubt i am upset as i took 3 days fcl :x ).

And as for 'rainbow'..don't be discourage by the teacher's comment. Prove to them that ugly handwriting doesnt mean you are not clever right. They are just P1. No one is perfect. Every kids are different. You can't judge them by their handwriting. Doctors have BAAD handwriting too. :lol:
