Am i right?

Felt that for kids in PG, sessions should be less structured, more play-based. The environment should be conducive for them to learn through play and also pick up social skills. Hence, the name - "Play"Group. It is no good for kids to be suppressed too much at such a young age.

wonder if the kids happened to be the ‘guai guai’ type or are they trained to be like tat?
-
haha...those are not real kids. More like robots. :lol:
Cannot imagine a class of young kids playing quiet. Certainly something sinister is brewing.
I would rather kids talk, play with their friends, laugh, share toys, bicker(and in the process, learn how to compromise and empathise).
Quiet kids?
Super abnormal...perhaps they are punished till like that? -

Agree with ponyo there... At their age they are constantly trying to push boundaries, and things generally 'escalate' for a while especially when they are around their 'accomplices'. Being able to sit THAT still not remain THAT quiet is something that even teenagers can deal with, unless you stick them in front of a TV or their computer! :?haha...those are not real kids.

Agree with all of you that it seems pretty robotic. funni thing is the kids would respond to me when i was trying to get my son to sit still by singing songs to him or pointing out items of interest. i get the feeling they are not encouraged to express themselves which makes it easy for the teachers. i know they make the kids who misbehave sit out activities.
anyway, i hv taken my son out of there

Some CCC partner up with NLB, so they have NLB’s book on loan to students. No surprise because the CCC near my mum’s place is a mini-children’s library.
About them being strict, I guess with 4 kids, it’s easy for the teacher to manage. Kids are very odd, when 1 behaves, the rest tend to follow. It could be that the kids who happen to be in his class are not the hyper type like my boy.
When I went to pick up my boy at his CCC, the kids there are generally very well-behaved, except my boy. So sometimes I wonder if my boy is the odd one out
There are pros & cons about being so strict. Pros is that the kids will learn discipline from young age and when they go on to Primary school, they won’t get a shock when the teachers are too fierce!
Cons is that the child may not learn to speak up or may end up very timid/shy.
My boy needs a fierce teacher to discipline him, so I don’t mind such environment for him. He’ll still talk non-stop no matter what, so no worries about not expressing himself or speaking up. -
unless they screen through the kids before taking in.
I very doubt they can handle hyper active or dyslexia kids in the centre… -
