If Ian's PG is downstair, maybe I'll let him continue for the rest of the year cos despite the teachers' lousy english, I can see that they really love the children. U mentioned b4 that u heard K's teacher smack a child... mmm.. not good in my opinion. But u didn't see it so she might be smacking her own hands just to frighten the kid?
As for learning, for the 3 days I was on class, I observed that the older kids can sing and do actions along with teacher, which proved kids did learn in class. But teachers spent little time teaching the younger ones, just as long as they sit there and observe, they're ok. In a way, it's learning lor.
Art and craft session is v short and not enough guidance. I suppose with only 2 teachers and so many kids, they just wanna get it done and over with b4 the kids mess up the place. Artwork brought back from school are definitely not done by him.. I know cos I let him do coloring at home and I know his 'standard'. I can even tell which scribble is by him and which is by the teacher! HAhaha Learning time, eg. colours, alphabets etc... teachers also focus more on the older kids.
There's no windows for me to peep so all the feedback I get is from teacher, which are ALL good?!? I try to observe what Ian has learnt and funnily they're words 开and 坐. Not that it's not good to learn chinese, I'm happy but hor, they're supposed to be english teachers and english class leh!? Like u said, what they do in class, no one really knows. What u can do is talk to parents/grannys of the older kids, they should be able to tell u if their kids learnt anything in class. Then u'll know more or less what the teachers do lor.
