Teacher :\"Why are you wearing PE attire today?\"
P3 :\"My mother asked me to wear PE today\"
Teacher :\"Is your mother the new school Principle?\"

What do you think about the teacher's remark?

Happened to be there as was collecting the books from bookstore yesterday morning. So I asked my boy did he get scolding (cause I also let him wear PE yesterday :scared: ) He said teacher told the class must follow timetable which only distributed by yesterday
Known the teacher by sight cause I been at the school several times doing PV job past years, but I don't think it's proper to mention name & class here. Have been thinking whether should I report this incident to the school? What you guys think? Wonder the kid parents know about this? Would they take action or rather worry that the teacher will then be prejudice?? :scratchhead:

actually what you heard is considered \"mild\". :faint: :faint: i know ..... :faint: :faint: but i've heard of worst encounters with some teachers. not trying to scare anyone here, but nasty teachers do abound in every school.
of coz you can feedback ..... although the principal say can approach him, parents can't be seeing the principal for every single matter. Hv got to teach our kids to hv the right attitude whatever the circumstances, whoever the teachers.
maybe can ask the P to read KSP forum for feedback? :rotflmao:[/quote]Can't agree more! We don't expect all good teachers in 1 school
I do believe in communication, whether it's parents-teachers or parents-children, hence have sent email to the school. Just to point out that the school/management perhaps should look into the teacher's ethic/conduct. We too have expectations for the school as well the teacher, just like they do for us as parents and our children as students

OMG... That's not very nice. You should feedback to the school. We don't need our children to learn how to be sacastic at this edge.

oh dear, which class is that? i was about to ask my kid to wear pe tomorrow cos it has been so hot.

but wait .... P3 as in pri 3? They should have their timetable already.[/quote]Happened to be there as was collecting the books from bookstore yesterday morning.

Day#2

Teacher :"Why are you wearing PE attire today?"
P3 :"My mother asked me to wear PE today"
Teacher :"Is your mother the new school Principle?"

What do you think about the teacher’s remark?

wonder if anyone attend yesterday function ~ tea with the principle??

nvr make it myself...so kind of anxious is/are there any essential information being shared during tht tea-session :roll:

regarding the pupil's diary...how all parents find it?? working or not??

as at several times, i hv found tht the \"instruction\" is either not clear, or total no-information for example, on last Fri i found no indication of any sch/homework, but then when i went through wif my son n his books, i realised there actually some homework/worksheet tht he needs to complete ...
is either me dun understand the \"language\" of the teacher(s??) or merely the diary was not being put in full use ...??
so how the teacher make sure tht the msg or information being properly convey?? :?
n i also wonder tht diary is totally under the form teacher care, or all the teachers, as long as they hv some msg to \"send\" for parents ??

thanks tulip !


now i know i have been conned by the bus operator.

i hv checked with my bus operator (Toa Payoh area), same as Tulip. They'd pick my son from the student care early on Wed n as well Fri, cos tht actually consider as the start of sch time n not the CCA thing, which i believe most bus operator dun \"service\" the CCA timing. tht's why i think the operator \"increases\" the fare due to there're so many timing in a wk of sch

may b u shd check again, as i tot the bus service shd b under control of the main operator, which indirectly shd oblige to serve for KCPPS. cheers!

Hi Yenoscar,

No worries...actually the first day address by the Principal is just very brief info., nothing that we really need to know :lol: If you have time, do go through the slides I mentioned above, you will get a better idea of how the students will be assessed (in SA1 & SA2) and what is being taught.

Ha, during my time, my mum has to queue overnight for a place for my elder sis (I then got in thru siblings priority) in the nearest primary school fm home; and it's not even a popular one at present day.

By the way, who is your son's form teacher? Just wondering if my girl's batch of teachers will be following them to Primary 2.

Hi Tulip,

Sorry...i didn't even get hold of the form teacher's name on that day :roll:
When we sent him, a teacher (i think) asked for the name then hand-out a name tag to us, then she just moved-on to others parents ....rather chaotic, so we didn't have a good opportunity to ask, by then we being urged to leave the children and proceeed for the briefing.
While at 1 point when all parents are gathered for filling-up of forms, 1 parent did ask but we got message as tentatively the teacher that show the kids around would be the form teacher, but cannot remember a name was mentioned/given.
At the end of the day when we pick up our son from the hall, no 1 come upfront and introduce herself as my son form teacher. Or simply because we didn't ask around either..??
Anyway, I never ask my son after that as well. We only make sure he knows where his class, the nearest toilet and the canteen

Hi, Letter will be given to all parents when the school starts.

Thanks, Buzz!

Hi yenoscar,


The information on the banding can be found in the KCPPS student diary along with other school information.

As for exam scheme, early last year, we had a briefing from the school on the SEED/Stellar Programme, including the modes of assessment on the school subjects. You can find more information here : http://www.kcpps.moe.edu.sg/Seed.htm At the briefing, the Principal gave us a brief address and also touched on the banding/streaming of the different class levels.

My girl will be having new classmates come next year. They've all been streamed to different classes for the new academic year. But we don't know which are the 2 top classes. Some parents told me the top classes are class A & B, but some told me A & B are not necessarily the 2 best classes (too obvious) :?

In any case, over time we will know by tracking which class the top student goes to [/quote]

Hi Tulip,

Thanks for the information ...guess this is something we might expect from KCPPS for my boy as well.
Hope we'd get more detailed briefing once the school starts. Actually it's really hard for me to recall now ...all the stuff that has been addressed by the Principle on that day :frustrated:
I wonder my parents get so nervy back then...???! It seems the school system/scheme is far more simple at that time

Tulip:

Hi KCPPS parents,


The P1 orientation was last Saturday. Any feedbacks or comments after this encounter? Are you liking what you've seen so far?

Ha..how time flies..I still vividly remember my girl's first day in school, we were more anxious then the kids actually.

My word of advise is to keep abreast with your child's work in school. Make sure they do well in their SA1 too, as the weightage is 40% of the final year-end score. For English, SA1 only test on Oral, Listening Compre, Spelling (computed from their weekly spellings) and written paper. SA2 will be more difficult to score for English as it consist of compo, show & tell, authentic tasks, oral, listening compre and written paper, so more chances of dropping marks :D.

The school has learning support programmes (LSP) and remedial classes for the weaker students. At the prize presentation at the end of year, they do also recognise efforts of LSP students by awarding the best LSP Maths student and LSP English student.

Cheers...

Hi Tulip,

Are these information about the exam scheme and streaming would only be disclosed to the parents when the school starts?? or when the exams are round the corner?? or is it merely some \"informal\" pass-down information among parents???
Frankly, I really know very little about KCPPS scheme, as it seems like every school may vary ...??
