I Can Read - Discussion

[Monster Mummy]

Hi,


Yes, agreed with it that it is subject to the individual centre whom may not provide the full scope of phonics. As blending sounds might not have been so well taught. However, noted that it will depend on children as well as I seem cases that some parents withdraw the children from the centre as it does not have the impact on the children.

Dear parents, I have some experiences to share. Recently in October this year, I withdrew my girl from the Novena branch. We had waited several weeks before we decided to enquire about our refund deposit. To our surprise, they had not started to process! Well, next thing the centre did was to keep giving us excuses that their boss is overseas. This went on for a week til we had to write in to their headquarters. A prompt reply came but instead of telling us to pick up the deposit, they informed us to pay up the outstanding fees. Fortunately, we kept proper records of all the payments we had made. Of course, they replied it was the counter girl’s mistake when we responded with all our proof of payments. We still have not received anything yet up til today. We paid up every term fees on time yet we had to go through all these trouble just to get back a small amount of our deposit. So to all of u who have your little ones with them, do keep all your receipts! We are really giving up…

Yes, I agree that must keep receipts. A famous enrichment centre out there who gives free iPads to students, also made the same mistake. Ask me pay outstanding when there's no outstanding as I gave 1 month calendar notice to withdraw, use deposit to offset last month fee. Still serve me reminder notice to pay. I got fed up and ask them how many times must I tell them that there's no outstanding. Show them receipts and they shut up. Better go for I Can Read, my friend work in enrichment line told me. I cannot reveal or say why here but heard insider info about what happened between LCentral and I Can Read management.
