btw this yr I also heard of pri sch kids being send to another class due to behaviour issues.


P1 cannot be send to any lower levels... but I heard of kids being send to Malay lang class during their chinese lang time.

So this \"sending out to other class\" seems common

During my primary school days, misbehaving children are punished by being made to stand outside the classroom door. Sending a misbehaving kid to another class is pushing a problem to another teacher. Strange method and don't agree with it.

true... my era was also to stand outside the class.
Was surprised to this new trend and surprised that the malay tr actually bother to take in the kid!

maybe both trs had barter trade!
u dont want to study chinese... fine... u go malay class.
same on the other side - attitude during malay class... ok u go chinese class. :stupid: :slapshead:

sending to a lower level, is a drastic measure which i don't see it in any way encouraging... in fact, it might just make the child develop a inferior complex..

Am sure it shd be a last resort....

for my boy - i know the various steps/ways the tr did try on my boy before this. So I was ok and further add on and explain to my boy in the same line as the school.

He also \"understand\" why it happened and of cos promised wont happen again. Well it didnt happen again and so far in pri sch also still safe and sound. So hope he really did learn his lesson.

that mummy definitely dun take it well after 2 such attempts and called the principal up..

what i want to say is.. that teacher does not live pat's values.. imagine u see the kids scrambling quickly to queue up coz the teacher was counting down 5....4... 3....2...1...it's preschool.. not army daze or from boys to men...

true that it wld be sad if the kids end up with unhappy experiences / memories from their presch.

my boy loves his presch and we recently had a gathering. everyone had a great time chit chat and catch up.

maybe the new / old pats really different....

All the above bad feedbacks shocked me. My girl had very encouraging and patient teachers in Pats last time. Infact, they were a lot more patient than me! She had very wonderful learn through play experiences although I must agree that the teachers did instilled more discipline as the kids progressed to higher level. As for pri sch, her teachers are also very nice.

my younger child's teacher can sms me last year to ask me to put my child back on diapers coz they spent too much time to change the kids.. whereas the older child playgroup teacher then kept on encouraging us to let the child wear undies.. luck luck luck

correct.. the different treatment by different teachers.. the older one keeps telling me to get the child off the diapers.. the younger one told me to put the child back on diapers.... the younger one cried one month every morning when going to school in june last year..(imagine it's the same child who never cry during first day of school, first week of school, first month of sch at all.. ).. i suspect it was because of the toilet training issue.. Accidents coz the younger one dun dare to speak up.. quiet :(.. teacher tell me is the character... HARD to change..

hmmm... in this case, maybe the tr feels the kid is not ready... no point stress her if she is not willing to speakup that she needs to go?

not all kids needs to be trained by age3 mah..

she is ready at home leh.. not ready in school nia.. but i am somehow sure that a lot of other parents commented on this class teachers.. coz voila ... neither of the teachers follow the class up to nursery (usual practice is one of the trc will follow up)
