Hi my daughter is in Perseverance 1. Anyone in the same class and would like to exchange info ?
Has anyone received any feedback from the teacher about ur child?
Cos till now I hv yet to receive any, and I dunno how she is doing at school. She keeps forgetting things like her water bottle and jacket.
And many times when the teacher writes on the board and they are supposed to copy into their handbook, she forgets to copy them!
So if anyone out there has ur gal in the same class with mine, hope u dun mind if we could exchange contact or info so we can share experiences or events?
Today she brought back a pupil handbook 2011 but nothing is written in it either. :?: -
Hi there! :celebrate:
Finally, there is another parent! However, my dd is not from 1P.
I've not received any feedback regarding my dd's progress in
school too. I'm planning to email my dd's FT after CNY to get her
comments. Thus far, my dd has just been sharing all that's been
happening in school. It sounds like all is well.
Before the handbook, I got my dd to write her homework in a
notebook. This routine kind of fizzled out because she said that
she could remember all her homework as there wasn't much to recall.
I thought I'll just leave it at that for the time being and observe. -
I am a parent of OLGC as well. My daughter is in Primary 2. As far as i know from friends of mine who are teachers, they tell me schools do read Kiasu parents webbie…
So as a parent, i have learnt from them to be careful in our comments about the school, form teachers, or even the Principal.
The schools are watching this forum.
I guess if i do have any problems with the school, i will be wary to post them here… scared kena sued! I trust the teachers of OLGC, and i know they will give the best to my DD.
The teachers are very responsive when you email them… just get their email addresses personally. Any problems, just send an email.
My DD loves the school. -
Hi ProfMummy
I know what you mean. However, individuals posting their comments on this Forum have the responsibility to share objectively. It is not meant for all to shoot down the schools' attempts but to network with other parents. Schools who assess this Forum also need to be open to comments from parents. We need to change our mindsets about sharing our views openly or else we become a society living in fear.
My dd too loves her school. She wakes up enthusiatically every morning raring to meet her classmates and teachers. Agreed, emailing the teachers is a good strategy but even emails can be misunderstood. Just one other thing, the email addresses provided in the school website requires updating.

Thank you electron, for your very objective post. The purpose of the Parent's Networking Forums is indeed intended for parents to network with each other, and get some ideas of what other schools are doing. In our opinion, this is valuable not just for parents to learn and be informed about what is happening in their children's schools, but also for schools to understand parent's concerns. For this to work, it is necessary for both parents and schools be willing to listen.Hi ProfMummy

On our part, we will continue to moderate the Forums and posts carefully and protect the basic rights of both parents and schools by stepping in when discussions turn into personal attacks. It is to the credit of our community that we rarely have to do so. -

Within the first few weeks of school, my daughter managed to get into 2, thankfully minor, fiascos. She also managed to lose her student handbook except for the personal particulars page which was left behind in her bag. We had to ask for her teacher's help to obtain a new one... By the way, did you happen to notice that \"Perseverance\" is mis-spelled on the cover of the handbook?
I was tempted to write a note to let the school know about it (it doesn't reflect well on the proof-reading, does it?) but DW asked me to let things be
Feedback from my daughter indicates that recess is her favourite subject *grin* followed closely by AC. I'm glad she managed to make a few friends because she is a very quiet and reserved girl. DW and myself were initially quite worried she would be an absolute loner in class.
DW will likely attend the PSG tea-party this Saturday. Hope to hear more about the upcoming activities in school then.
Cheers -krazykid -

Hi krazykid
My guess is that feedback on our dds will be given after Term 1. By this time, the comments would be more authentic. Certainly hope so.
Well, dd spotted the error on the cover page with regards to the spelling. I refrained from commenting because the last time, I shared with dd an error in the letter issued to parents on Gym Lessons (salutation for Principal was stated as \"Mr\" Catherine Seah), she shared it with her FT!
After 15 years of teaching (now a full-time SAHM), I tend to be a wee bit more empathetic with the schools. More importantly, my dd is happy and looks forward to attending school everyday. What she likes about school - mostly her friends and her FT.
Will not be attending PSG tea-party because i did not register with PSG. Dh was not at all impressed with the PSG talk during orientation so we'll just stand back and observe for now.
Maybe your dw can share after attending this Saturday's tea-party. -

Well my wife attended the tea party and was impressed by some of the HoDs in the school especially the English and PAL heads. I believe that the dynamism of the PSG depends largely on parents like ourselves so it really reflects on how much we want to get involved.

This Saturday is the Math Workshop and I hope that it will be meaningful... to help me to tutor her. My daughter has been trying out the problemsums.com website. I don't have much experience with these things but I guess if she's doing it willingly, it can't be all that bad. A good command of English looks to be the pre-requisite for doing well in Math now.
Cheers! -

Thanks for the update.
Dh is considering joining the Father's Club.

Looking forward to attending the breakfast session with my wife. Wondering how many people the AVA room can accommodate because there are about 150 kids in Primary 1… we might have to get really friendly if all the parents turn up
