Changes In Children
-
Wished more educators think that way as well. I spent a good week in school and I learnt a lot about school. There are different kinds of teachers, and there are good and better ones. There are some who truly want to help and don’t know how, and some that go all out to help.
Saw that video and how we can make things fun for kids to learn. Really, if every educator does that, imagine how fun learning will be for our next generation. And, there won’t be a dull day at school.
Isn’t that what our children look forward to day to day? -

Si Si, You sound so experienced and so warm and loving. Hope to hear more from you as there is much to learn.
Well said Blobbi!!! :celebrate:
All kids are different and we just have to use our instinct to go and guide n lead them. I always told my son that I love him for who he is and not what he could achieve (for me or whoever). When he grabbed hold of this security n assurance from me...somehow the achievements just come before I know them. But of cos, this came after more than a decade of perserverance, hope n love. :love:
I kept my word since that post - it's been a very good few weeks that I've kept my cool and trusted. My son and I are very close and I feel that we are even closer as a result of a more benign environment. Yes, we must be good role models as well as good supporters of our kids. -

Ooh, I just spent the middle of the week chewing up a teacher :!: I'm not proud of it but it had to be done. I've learnt to not nibble my fingers and hope that behaviour patterns will disappear on their own, and that sometimes, it takes a parent to stand up for his/her child. I'm going to be more proactive going forward.Wished more educators think that way as well. I spent a good week in school and I learnt a lot about school.

I met so many hopeless educators, I would have eaten some of them alive! But this week, one particular teacher changed my view completely. From our school lah. I really thought she has really done much to help the kids and she is there for them. Now I have a slightly different view.

Yes, majority still suck, but that one or two really makes this world such a better place for our kids. -

Usually ds loves a subject that he struggles because for him struggling means learning. But this teacher terrorizes students by giving corporal punishment, books although lightly, landed on kids head & telling students off why choose this language when they did not make an effort to learn.
These scenarios upset ds totally. He broke down while trying to re-call his homework. Met up the teacher with dh. As usual, I'm \"very nice\". Never attack the teacher directly. Enough hints dropped liao. I think eat is not the appropriate word. More like wrap him around my little finger ensuring that he understand what needs to be done to help ds & ensure other kids are not touch as well.
I wonder when the teacher is going for retirement. Totally old school. -

So glad for your son and you that he has this teacher. Can PM me her name? I can watch out for her, hehe.I met so many hopeless educators, I would have eaten some of them alive!

This P1 teacher, aiyo. Suffice to say, I was direct and effective, and now she knows I know and she knows I won't hesitate. So in the last couple of days, it's been a sea-change, hurrah!! I actually wrote her a thank you note on Friday because of her efforts :shock:. But like my son says, she'll probably revert when he leaves. -
Blobbi, PM you her name already. In my about 10 years of dealing with this generation of school teachers and principals from a parent’s point of view. Never met a more understanding and proactive teacher.

Heard from the news on radio this morning, a country (cannot hear clearly which country) is introducing and selling small size condoms for age 12 to 14. I hope this would not be introduced here.
