This happens in my gal’s class.

There is a school event with fund raising for various school building activities. All students were given a donation card. At the same time, the Principal sent out a circular regarding the fund raising and "pupils are strongly advised not to solicit money from the public" - i quote.
When the form teacher collects the donation pledge cards from the pupils, 2 girls managed only to get a mere $10 donation. Do you know what the form teacher said to the 2 girls???
It was "Shame on you!!!"

I was shocked when i learned this from my girl. I had a hard time explaining the ‘reason’ why the teacher said that.

I was thinking to myself, why did the teacher say this to a P3 girl?

Did she mean ‘shame on you’ because
1. the girls did not put in effort to ask for donation;
2. of the $10 donation the girls manage to get ;
3. the girls have not so rich relatives/friends as they were told not to solicit money from the public ?
4. the Teacher really mean that " SHAME on YOU"???

what is happening in our classrooms???

shizta:

congrats to all whose gals r going into CHIJ


do take note that the girls r required to wear uniform when they go for the orientation

the pinafold is supposed to cover over the knees...

Dear all,

the school is flexible enough to allow new girls to attend orientation without school uniform. i am the 'blur' parents who did not prepare before hand.

having said that, please do not follow my footsteps.

btw, my girl will be in P2 in 2011. i stay just a stone throw away from the school.

Dear All,


my girl is in P1 this year (2010).
this is my experience.

CHIJ Kellock is doing holistic assessment for all P1, hence there is constant feedback test ( topical ) throughout the year.

my girl’s form teacher, Ms Chua, is a dedicated, energetic, and patient teacher who constantly feedback to parents when needed ( as my girl was quite ‘active’ in class at the start of the year, hence pretty ‘famous’ in class ).

another thing i would like to share is that it has a whole strategy of teaching mathematics for P1.

The first maths topic that is taught to P1 is not number bond, addition/subtraction. it is a topic that i learnt when i was in Sec 1 :- Sets theory using Venn Diagram.

My girl’s MT teacher, Mdm Lee, is an experienced, caring teacher.

i think CHIJ is a very conducive environment for my girl to grow/excel.

just my thought
