If there is another incident, I will go and talk to the principal. I may even switch him to CL if necessary. Totally pissed off since week 1. I mean my boy is an obedient and we'll behaved boy. Never give me problems since P1. Suddenly I received these messages from teacher and always ending off with \"please cooperate\". I do supervise him at home, but I think the way the teacher comms is being over zealous and giving him undue stress.

P3 & 4 are only starting to scratch the surface.

Any parents with kids in 5D this year? I was thinking if we should get together to ask the CL teacher to consider slowing down a bit..I asked around a few other parents and seems like only students in 5D Chinese are rushing like mad..

Just over last weekend, we received a watsapp message asking parents to purchase a \"composition improvement book\" and ask DS to bring to school on Monday. I wonder if this is really helpful with all the homework, spellings, compo etc..AND MOST IMPORTANTLY my DS got no time to even relax. And worst still, I wonder if she even got the time to teach?

My DS is telling me a lot of students in the class are losing interest in Chinese lesson and all finding it a turn-off. I think what the Chinese teacher did was just kill my kid's interest in Chinese, worst still they could all be fearing to going school..!!

Switching to CL will NOT help since she is still the CL teacher. I am really contemplating to get my kid to switch to 5E or F, rather than letting this CL teacher kills my kid’s interest in Chinese.


No offences to PRC or what, she is from PRC and speaks really fast. And she expects students to understand her well. However, I do not think she can give one standard across all the students. Likewise, if I speaks in English, I do not think she will grasp what I want to bring across as well, not to mention she is an adult while the students are still 11 years old kids…

Really not impressed with the current status quo…

hi parents of PC, im keen on this sch for my DD


but there is something that i dont understand, PC offers higher chinese so is it a must to take the subject or the child can just study the basic chinese only?

It's a must to take HCL from P1 to P4. At the end of P4, there is an option form to choose whether the child is going to take HCL or cl in P5.

We did, many years ago. It was a breeze. There were only a handful of us.
