Hi venuschan,


the blog is only an write-up about the method. Is there any lessons conducted or resources as to teach the kids?

Hi,


Has anyone tried the Discovery camp? May I know how is it like? The timing and fees.

Hi Mommies,


Does anyone know any good home tutor for Primary English and Math in the East?

I dont think this is negativity. The fact is the after several encounters with the principal, I personally do not think that can resolve the matter in a prompt and efficient manner.


Last year, we highlighted to the principal with reagrds to my older boy’s form teacher. She was constantly absent and it was often a relieve teacher.

This year, my older boy’s form teacher changed and she is much better. Unfortunately, that same teacher became my younger boy’s form teacher. And the problem is still the same. She is constantly absent. Was not even there for the class photo.

Our complaint last year was directed to MOE and the principal. If nothing has been done a year later, I dont see how another meeting would help.

The complaints I heard is not from a parent or two only. And yes, they can be verified. I personally don’t think that balloting is a benchmark for how good a school is. There could be many reasons why balloting was needed.

I made the statments because it actually happen and the many parents I spoke to have had their bad experiences. I can’t speak for the other parents, but in my case, everything can be verified.

Was there balloting this year for EPPS?

Ya…will meet her again before making a final decision. Hope there is a good change after the talk.


Just sceptical about what can be changed after going through last year "ordeal". So far I heard too much dissafaction from different level mommies so kinda affected - in the "giving up" stage. Just not sure hanging onto this school due to convenience’s sake is a wise choice.

You are the first parent I heard good comments from. Your children are lucky to have met good leaders throughout their years. Thank ya for your encouragement!

Hi, we already met up last year pertains to the same problem (my older boy had same form teacher). She was worse. Only appeared once a week for 3 whole trimester. The class was so badly behind the standard. Also she would call parents up to complain on the children for very insignificant matters. All our kids were so afraid of her. The prinicipal’s response was very slow in recitifying the situation. After several push from parents, we managed to change the FT for P2.


Now, I’m facing the same issue for my younger boy. Quite disappointed in fact. A P4 mom is facing FT issue as well…long absent and homeworks mostly unmarked. The piles of unmarked worksheets returned to parents just 1 week before exam. The reason from the FT was she trying to conceive so cannot be under stress. They too met up with prinicipal and the reply they got was "What do you expect me to do?"

So I’m not sure if meeting the prinicipal helps in anything at all.

Hi mommies, I 've jus joined this big family as well. My 2 boys currently in EPPS P1/2. We have a lot of issues with their form teacher. She is always absent (since day 1). either the school arranged relief teacher ( 2 or 3 different ones in a week) or send the entire class to library. A few times with no teacher in the classroom. :x I heard from upper level mommies that this school focus more on CCA than academic even in P6. We are thinking to switch school. Anyone has any similar issues with the teachers or the school system? or just my son’s class?

Hi All, I’m a stay-home mum of 2 boys P1 and P2. Currently a few parents and I are facing some issues regarding to P1 form teacher and overall school system. I’m considering whether to transfer my boys which is a big step not only to me but esp to them before it’s too late. I have read the comments from parents about P.C. It seems like there’s a lot emphasis on higher chinese. How’s the school overall? teachers? Do they expect the kid to focus more on CCA than academic for upper level? Is it going to be a single session soon?
