Any updates on the badminton issue?

[beanstalk]

The badminton briefing was in Chinese! My poor dh could understand nothing. He stayed on only because he wanted to submit the form and pay up. Can anyone be kind enough to provide a summary?

[VVJJ]

Before the briefing, my hubby spoke to the HOD PE 2 days ago. HOD PE supposed to raise our concerns but instead he gave a brief introduction of badminton background and claimed he had another meeting to attend and step off, leaving the coach to brief us in chinese and answer our queries.


In short, nothing will change. 3 times training from P3 onwards. If it clashes with other remedials, kids can do a make up session conducted on Sunday, which is open to the public (trainings held in the school though). We have to pay till the school team selection process (P4). Once they are in P4, from June, no more fees payment. If boys are not selected into school team in P4, training will be conducted back to once weekly.

Personally, I have doubt as HOD PE did mention that fees is free for school team players only. In addition, DH not happy that HOD PE seemed to shun away from responsiblity by not staying back to answer queries. Though the session conducted by the coach is rather hilarious, it didn’t really solve our concerns. Seems that most parents who atteneded the session are from P1, hence they do not have many concerns as I do.

In short, DH will call HOD PE next Monday again.

Need advice from you…

Recently DS became very quiet … Over the weekends I tried to talk to him…
DS revealed to me that one of his classmate punched him and scolded him.
Not one time but many times already.

I was fairly shocked as this classmate of his which I happened to know is very friendly boy.

DS also come back home and use words like "stupid", "idoit".
As these are words he seldom use, I asked if someone scolded him with such words.
Sad to hear but DS said yes. That same classmate hit and scolded him.

What should I do to stop all these rubbish?

Hi TonyThomasMum,


My ds was being made fun of his name too. He told his form teacher. Alternatively, ask ds tell school counsellor if nothing is done fr the teacher’s part or the classmate still continue his way after warnings.

I suggest you email the form teacher and assistant form teacher for help. I'm sure the FT will address this issue. Also, you may want to get your DS to inform the subject teacher when he is hit. If it was during recess, he should approach any teachers nearby for help or inform his FT later.

My DS had also came home with bruises twice last year. The problems were addressed once we informed the FT. We also taught him how to deal with and avoid such situation. We do not advocate retaliation unless it is for self-defense (and I am sure parents here would agree with us). And yes, he also picked up some unsavoury words in school. But such things can't be avoided (even if he were in a Co-ed school). We can only teach him that it is wrong to use those words on people and hopefully, he will learn. It's all part of growing up.

Same thing happened to ds earlier in the first two weeks of school, there was some bullying in his class. I informed the ft and she was very very helpful. Email the ft first, she will at least pay more attention to try to see what happened.

[cherrygal]

Bullying is very common. The older boys play too rough sometimes and may even corner the younger ones and engage in \"play fight\". We taught our son to pull out and throw the shoes of the boys who try to kick his abdomen. He really did it and it worked!


For cases where he knew his assailant or bullies from the same class, we informed the Form Teacher and she promised to investigate. Trouble is, these boys have very bad memory and start playing together again the next day! :faint:

The form teacher will then come back to me and tell me the boys are still friends leh... :siao:

So, I just tell my boy to protect himself and retaliate when necessary. No point complaining to teacher all the time.

Yup, bad language can be picked up anywhere and I told him I can't prevent him from learning but he must know he can never say them (at least in front of me). Knowing the words doesn't mean you need to use them. I told him only gangsters and uneducated pple use them all the time.
