Rodeo,
How is ER coping with the new school? The good thing that came out of it is that the district manager sounds impartial. He acknowledged that it is a valid concern and that we are not being unreasonable cos most of the complaints that he dealt with are why the children had mosquitoes bites, why children are bath with cold water and etc.
I made it very clear to him that I am not going after her teacher cos’ I acknowledged that she is a nice lady and is making efforts to make up for lost time. I told him that I am happy that the teacher is continuing to upgrading herself with the organization support, after all, this will benefits the children. However, if the organization supports it, then it is logical that the organization should come up with a good support plan to ensure that customers’ benefits are not cannibalized. I told him, what I want to know is a solution. The principal said give them six months. Now, it is six months liao and I don’t think I am unreasonable to jump the gun. I told him, if the teacher has to continue the trend of absence, then please bring in an assistant teacher to ensure that the lessons resumed as planned. Put it curtly, why should I be paying the same for 3-4 days lessons vis-a-vis other classes children are attending daily lessons? He did advise me against changing school and assured/guaranteed that the girls won’t be blacklisted when they are back; afterall, educators are bound by ethics. I told him to revert by this Friday with the solution, failing which, it will be withdrawal for my girl. The other mummies are concerned on the blacklisted part and that the girls would be subjected to gossips when they are back. But I told them, I don’t care about that as we did nothing wrong. If they could offer me a good solution and guarantee that my girls won’t be subjected to discrimination, K will be back next week. Any signs of discrimination, I will make sure this is a national case.
Very tiring. Going down to Mindchamps this Friday and Cherie Hearts at Hwa Chong on next Tuesday. Spoke to K last night about the possibility of changing school. She said, ‘I don’t agree because I love my teachers and friends’ But I guess, I have to be cruel and start testing her survival skills now.
Wen, sorry, didn’t got time to reply to your message yesterday. It was crazy, back to back meetings.
Ivy,
Haha, you are seeing repeated incidents of early advertisements backfired with Celeste and my cases.
LV@RP is a decent school just that they are going through a back patch now and communication broke down because of negligence. Their curricula are still one the of most superior and have a good pool of teachers.
