insider:

I have a 'dream' to organise a Dinner and Dance event for my teachers, in a grand hotel ball room, complete with performance and a good lucky draw. Each can bring along a partner.


When I look at my diligent teachers who give their best in their work to the children and their parents and the kind of usually very simple lives that each lives, I want to give them something comparable to what most corporate firms will have - the annual D&D. Such event will allow each to doll up and feel special for the night.

Hope I can realise the dream by next Teacher's Day. My teachers are very special in my heart, always...

PS: Such event (except maybe for the lucky draw items) will not be sponsored by parents coz I have already 'milked' them in their monthly fees...

i got letters from psg for support and donation to celebrate teachers' day. what the $$$ is intended for, what type of celebration and gifts were spelt out clearly in the letters. donation of any kind is absolutely up to the parents.


there were some parents who felt forced to donate because the letters from psg required parent to write the name and class of the child at the back of the check (no cash) and likewise for gift donations. so they were afraid if the list of those who donated would be leaked to teachers and if their names were not on it , their kids might be blacklisted. they dont like the idea of giving $$$ but felt forced to do so, thus unhappy.

some parents i know have more than 2 kids in the same school and they just couldnt afford to pay for teachers' day celebration, charity walks or fun fare coupon sales and the various reqeust from school and psg groups. so far none of their kids have encountered nasty comments from teachers.

don't think teachers will ever know because the money matters are not handled by teachers

I don't understand. How extravagant was extravagant? It looks like a catered lunch in the school hall. If the gifts and chocolates were donated by parents, what's wrong?

understand some dishes were cooked by the parents

and now some parents are cooking up a storm out of some tea pot perhaps
