[quote]Hi hi, i think don't worry too much as this happens everywhere even the best of schools The 1st week esp 1st day always more unsettling since the students hv just returned from hols plus new students, and teachers need to get the class familiar with new routine etc. All usually settles down in a few days. Btw my kids had the max 15 or 16 in their classes. That's the problem with AM sessions, too popular! :roll:[/quote]
yeah I guess I got too carried away LOL..well they really met my expectations (last year) & class size has hit 16 now, seriously I had secretly wished that they charge a higher fee to maintain a good ratio. (At least it will justify the distance that I'll have to travel end of this year, where I'll be moving to mt sinai area, damn far!) But like what u mention even the more expensive schools are using 2:16. From Biz point of view I understand, so now i'm still pondering if I should continue or not. :scratchhead: So yr elder kid is in P1 this year, how exciting!

Wow...finally someone replied after almost a month of waiting!


I am still on the fence about this school cos there was no worksheets or any teaching materials available to show me, so I have no sense of their standards at all. Plus when I went down to visit, the vice P was like just going through the motion of explaining the basics, timing & fees etc, then left hurriedly. I get to meet no teachers at all too. So my initial impression of them was kinda cold...& very commercialised?? :roll:

tamtam, where did you saw the report on the GEP students?

Before today, I would strongly recommend this school, but after today..nah... my kid is in N2 this year (she had her N1 & weekend enrichment at GUG last year) and there were more than 14 kids in the class, a big difference in last year's class of 8 kids to 2 teachers for the N2.
a last minute decision from the school. Honestly the teachers were not capable of handling such a big class at all. and with a few crying kids, seriously my kid was simply wasting the time there today. The scenerio is just like any PCF class. with such changes, they can forget about any GEP students or watsoever in future. And where can I source for another school with AM slots at such last min. Totally disappointed.
