Rivervale Primary

[concern2]

Sunflower mummy:

Glad that you doubt its popularity.....I used my labour to exchange for a place here and I have to :stupid: :stupid: :stupid:

because it is surrounded by HDB flats - those people who live near and really need them cannot be assured of a place, that is why.

MdmGiveup:

:thankyou:


Concern2, you are very diplomatic & patient. Is teaching your profession?

Unfortunately, not many parents are that vocal & assertive to approach/confront the problematic teachers out-rightly & we are unsure if they will bear grudges. Being human, they can be narrow-minded, esp when there are recurring problems & we need to communicate constantly with them. Also, will they really change for the better if there is only one parent 'talking'.

I think you are one of those that can survive the Rivervale crises if you persevere & not get worn out & your kids' classmates will certainly be blessed with your presence. :rahrah:

Oh, please don't mention it, I am learning from your sharing too! MdmGiveup, you ought to change your nick, you know.. :evil:

Hi Sunflower mummy. Thanks for always supporting me & elaborating my discussions here. 合作愉快！ :grphug:


You seem to have faced deeper grievances than I do. I understand your frustrations, though not completely.

Being in the first and competitive class, we fought over 1 or 2 marks in science papers. We argued with teachers and HOD.


Think back, we were childish and naïve. May be I grew older.

Thanks for chipping in, octoberbaby ! Wow, so competitive, eh? For high achievers, it is in the blood. Believe it or not, given a chance to do it again, you might just repeat history.

yah, we are not the uneducated aunties, we dun make "market complaint" .


Sch leaders who sweep dirt under carpet cannot survive long in leadership .
Anyway, top leader chg every 6 yrs , 2nd leader can chg between 2 to 7yrs ,all
depends on MOE directions and luck ( for sch).

Hope the good feng shui turn to us now (existing parents and students) and future P1 coming in

I am working mum, and I really run against time to coach and ensure my child foundation is good. Child has two subjects grp tuition now but I still have to watch him to ensure he get it right. For Sci, I realised that always must look for keyword and answer to the question. But a lot of times, our kids cannot grap this concept. sigh… maybe our kids are still too young to take some sci topics. I recalled last time my pri sci not so "cheem" poor children now, due to the education system here… sigh… trapped in a box then how to think out of the box.

oh no. 2nd leader can change between 2-7 years? :stompfeet: Then we may need to wait for another 3 years ?

Really need to look for an exit :siam:

Top leader came in 3rd/4th quarter of 2009, so count down 6 years later....2015
2nd leader came in end 2008 or early 2009, so almost same year pass out as top leader....2015

Waiting time : 2 - 3 years for feng shui to turn around.

For science, the kids are learning more \"chim\" stuff, if no solid teaching is done, very difficult for the kids to understand. To me, Science is the worst department here....I doubt there are really good science teachers here, sometimes science lessons also used for other lessons end up no science lessons, and teacher rely on model answers to teach and students to copy....sigh....how to have improvement?
