hi,


My sis inlaw was talking to my gal tat day & my gal happened to told her tat when she’s naughty, her teacher will beat her palm & sometimes the other teacher will also use ruler to knock her head. My first reaction was to ask my gal to watch wat she just said. My sis inlaw asked me if i know abt tis & concluded tat my gal doesnt seems to be lying bcos whenever my sis inlaw asked her y teacher beat & wat happened, she is able to elaborate. I never suspect anything as my gal is v attached to the teachers unlike some kids might have phobia if beaten. I’ve yet to ask the supervisor but had tried to explain to my gal tat teachers are not allowed to cane or beat them, if it happens again pls do let me know. I am wondering cld it be we used to beat her palm or cane her when she’s naughty & now to her its a v normal procedure when the teachers practised it. Or is my gal too exaggerated? The other thing i dont like is, teachers & supervisor didnt keep me updated in things like her weaker subject, conduct, sch fee deductions etc… I’m quite pissed off wif this actually. I m always the one to col them if i wanted to know more. They wont make the effort to write down on the communication book at all. I was tinking of enrolling my son into the sme cc as my gal nx mth so tat my son can overcome the fear & get used to the environment b4 my gal enter pri 1. So after reading the forms, there’s some queries & the supervisor told me tat she’ll ask the management & get bk to me. Till nw, its almost a mth & there’s no news fm her. They reali v bo chap lor. It makes me having 2nd thoughts of putting my son there. I m even tinking of switching my gal so tat at least for the nx few mths, my gal can help to look after her bro in the new cc bcos my son is still not able to express himself in fact he still dont like to talk. BUT will it be healthy for my gal as she’s in k2 nw & switching her at tis time meaning she’ll take some time to adapt. will it affect her academic? Choosing between Sparkletots Alexandra, Cherie Hearts Depot & Cambridge Tanglin. Cherie Hearts Depot is the nearest for me. Any feedback besides those on Cherie Hearts Thread which is mostly on the security & transparency of Harbourfront? Or is there any other alternatives?

hi kaitlynangelica,


Does MOE registered Montessori school structured with their cirriculum? I'm not sure if the school is.

Hi vfong,

Not sure what your question means. But what my daughter's school does is 2 hours of regular MOE curriculum daily followed by one hour of montessori where mathematics and phonics is blended in.

Where is your child currently attending?

Hi,

Learning Seeds CDC also conduct partial montessori & regular MOE curriculum daily http://learningseedscdc.com/

Maybe you should treat you maid the way you treat your DD? As in be more firm and set rules. Maybe your maid doesn't know why she \"deserves\" this treatment lately. Tell her diplomatically and let her draw her own conclusions as to why she feels threatened lately. If she's smart, she'll shape up.

I've always been v firm and set rules to my maid. I've also highlighted to her tat I'm v particular abt her attitude towards us & her wrk. Aft wrking with me for so long, she alr noe my style. Whenever she did smething wrg, I can be v fierce & scolded her but aft tat, I'll forget abt it. Whenever we go out, we normally bring her along and she have the same privileges as we treat her as 1 of our family alr. Be it holiday or dining she'll always tag along. If u're talking abt \"deserves\" this treatment lately, frankly speaking its more towards the interest of my kids & me as I used to depend alot on my maid. Eg of things tat I'm trying to do w/o maid's help: tying my gal's hair evy m'ng, chking her bag & revising her hmwrk with her, fetching my gal fm sch or sch bus dropping point, reading bks to them etc... it's more of the bonding I am refering to. Like yest, I bought sme stuff for my son as he'll be attending cc in Mar. Instead of asking maid to sew name tags on it, I do it on my own rather than getting her to do it then wrg I still gt to scold. I can see an improvement in my gal's behavior ever since tis bonding & quality time spent tis few days. Of cos sometimes we try to involve our son or go out as a family w/o the maid tagging along.(Used to be afraid tat maid mgt be sad if left out for outings) :stupid: Nw I m nt gg to tink so much for others, will put interest of my kids first. Even nowadays my maid do her wrk slowly like bo chap like tat, i cant bothered to nag or scold. I'll do it on my own if i can and it can be quite fun too as my gal helped to do it together wif me. (Another way of bonding) Once both my kids are in full day cc, the maid can go or stay. Tat wont be a threat to me alr and I'm surprised tat my kids behaved better w/o the maid presence. No wonder ppl always say tat kids wif maid at hm normally don't behave better than those w/o maid.

hi,


Nw tat I've learnt to do things by myself(last time used to rely on maid alot), my maid felt threatened. Will be sending my 21mths boy to my gal's cc in Mar.(Last time have the concept of, since there's a maid at hm might as well send kids to kindergarten for 3hrs only when they're 3yo. Regret tat, as my maid cant discipline my gal & reverse way, its my gal who control the maid.) Unless there's an adult tat can coach or able to discipline & control the kids if not, it's still a better choice to put them in a cc. At least, kids will learnt to be mre systhematic & organised. Though my maid had been working with us since the born of my gal which is abt 5yrs +, she's getting more bo chap, attitude prob, lazy at times, kaypo and tends to be v forgetful. Nowadays I realised tat aft she had been scolded by me, she's bound to aggitate my gal. It's reali v tired to have to deal wif kids & maid at the same time esp when we're full time working mother. (Headache! Thought maid is suppose to somehow lighten our burdens or workloads???) Keeping my cool by just walking off nowadays if maid angered me lest it affect my mood when i deal wif my kids :stupid:
