Hi


I was googling for the contact no. of My First Skool, Bishan st 13 and came across this thread. I wanted to feedback to the principal what I witnessed at the playground near Blk 155 this evening. It was a chaotic scene involving preschool children, one Chinese national teacher and one Filipino teacher. The children were all rushing to play at the playground. Climbing the playground steps at the same time with minimum space in between, pushing each other to slide etc. The teachers did not bother to control them. One boy was pushing another one off a swing which caused the latter to cry. The teachers did not help. I told the Chinese national teacher about it but she ignored me when seeing that the poor child stopped crying! My little girl was climbing the first step when two others intercepted her and almost stepped on my girl’s hand. The Chinese national teacher was nearby but did not teach the children to take turn and play safe. Also, when my girl was about to slide, two children were behind pushing each other to slide. I told the child behind my girl to wait for my girl to slide first. She slided immediately after my girl slided and hit my girl’s back. I was furious by then and asked the the two teachers to control the children. The Filipino teacher just said sat on the bench and blankly said ‘take your turn ok’. There’s no apologies. I wonder how the teachers are going to teach well when their attitudes are so bad and ‘bochap’.

Sorry for the long post. I just can’t believe these are our ‘preschool educators’!
