Hi Precious BB,
My gals are with Agape CCK.
Hi Leereiner,
Yes, principal at CCK also changed. But, the change is a planned one. We knew about the change since Oct last yr. The ex-principal was a very experienced lady. Current principal used to be principal of another branch in Jurong. She is single and much younger.
I think Agape went thro' too many changes in a short span of time that some teachers find in difficult to catch up. It could also be due to the fee adjustments that expectations of teachers are higher and they cannot cope (do not know if the Mgt also increase their pay correspondingly) or feeling unhappy that the staff decide to leave.
Cirriculum wise - Actually, I find that their cirriculum is not bad really. But, I am quite perturbed when my DD1's teacher actually wrote to me in the communication book asking me to coach and let my DD1 do more at home to improve her Chinese. One of the reasons quoted was - The class got too many students and she cannot pay individual attention to her. I am quite disturbed by this remark as my DD1 spends almost 10hrs everyday in the CC and we hardly have that much time together. I still get such remarks from her teachers. But, this is also a signal that the teachers find it difficult to cope, maybe due to the high teacher-to-child ratio.
I gotta monitor the performance of my gals at their CC the next 2 mths & decide by then if I wanna switch CC for them. I am actually quite reluctant to do so as both my DDs settled very well into CC already.
