Hi mummies, just a comment on my 1st skool at 192. I enrolled my son since 20mth and got sick every 2weeks. My PD asked me to pull him out frm cc. While I was thinking abt his advise, I celebrated my son's 2yr old birthday at the cc and there's when I decided to pull him out. Throughout the celebrating, 2 toddlers were crying non stop, wanting the teachers to carry. Mentally I was very distressed by the cry and the noise from 33 toddlers.
MYCS rule is 1 teacher to 8 tots. There were 5 teachers, that means they can go up to 40 tots if they can. Plus the total no of kids and teachers under the same roof is abt 200 sharing the same playgroung everyday. Haiz..hw not to get sick. Even on the route to recovery, it's really stressful if just 1 tot cries non stop.
The cc he's in now is very good. It's very quiet unlike most void deck cc. When I asked the owner the strange quietness of the students, he said it's discipline. He started 16yrs ago, having backgound music, children running wildly in class, etc. Is a long journey...haha
Many agree that children should learn thru play which I'm not against. My son learns to write Chinese and English intensively this yr N2. I'm not a kiasu parent but the SIN stressful edu system is here to stay and I still prefer my children to be educated in a traditional way just like my time. Learn thru play will be my responsibility.
