Well since it cause mummy upset abt my feedback.

I have to say.... this is my truth feedback and this is my own encounter.
If you dont like what i said you can just turn it off and move on......

You are not the one who face this incident so you have no right to judge on me. Unless you were there with me.

My encounter might not be the same as yours and maybe it will turn up well.

Her tone to you was unfriendly, and why not? You caused her an inconvenience and possibly lost business, did you not?

If you are talking abt this....
When you want to do business you dont expect that customers will for sure buy your product and customers have the right to change their mind and pay what they want. I dont really think this is the way in service when customer turn away and not giving you the business. If that is really kind of service I tell you it will failed.

I might not have sign up with the school but if she never turn me off by how she answer me I would for sure recommened friends to go but because her attitude that tells me more abt this principle which you might not see unless like you said I turn her business away and caused her inconvenience.

You know sometime you really think that this person is good etc until something bad happened Between u n the person then u will see what outsider cant see.

I have been in sale line for many many years and i am clear and understand when comes to service and well I never serve my customer that way even they dont end up my customer cos I believe in sincere serving.

The point is that this is a public forum, that is, if you wish to post an opinion on a matter, particularly when it impacts on the reputation of another party, then you must be prepared to have it challenged.

I have nothing to do with Shaw, but you turned something which was at least partially your own fault, and came to a public forum where there are interested parents, and basically accused the principal of being uncaring about her students.

Is that fair or correct?

Her tone to you was unfriendly, and why not? You caused her an inconvenience and possibly lost business, did you not?

How to say is my own fault?
I really like the school in the 1st place and i never said that their teaching is not good etc. I am happy with their method and that's why i wanted to sign up but however the principle keep telling me that Mon we going to have open house and the space taken up very fast and she was saying that is best that I can pay 1st and secure the space. By hearing that of cos i will want to cos i really like the school but the principle cant tell me much about the school bus fees and timing cos she had to check and of cos I dont mind to wait for her to check but I cant secure the space unless I pay can you understand? Until after a few days she got back to me telling the school but info which I cant accept cos my dd is too small to take such a long hr ride. I never blame the principle at all until the way she answer me that turn me off..... You know u are not the one who she spoke to, the tone dose make a different.

When you talked about challenges, so do the school?
I post here not to challenge anybody, you can take it or you leave it right? Why are you agitated? I am speaking the truth that I am facing and you dont see it because you dont see what I see or I feel. U are not the one that encounter this and how can you put all this comments saying that not fair, do you mean what I encounter is false? Do you mean by speaking the truth abt my own encounted is not right. Do i ever fake abt it?

Just like another mummy here, her encounter was fine and that's great! Every people have different encounter, can i say anything abt what she said? No right, cos what she said is her encounter and When i read it I felt happy for her.

Honestly speaking, this is not my 1st time visit Shaw. I visted Shaw the old branch way back and it was prefectly fine and i din enroll because i prefer another school. Untill my young one, I wanted to find a school that take younger age that's why visited the New branch which I encounted unhappiness.

it may not be any fault of either party… simply - u wanted the sch but the location is far, the principal couldnt help more than providing the sch bus…

so the transaction fails… that’s it…

i think i know where this shaws at katong is… i acc my friend to enrol for her dd last time… the principal, not too sure of the name already, was polite and not much of a problem to me… maybe it was a different person but nvm…

I think I just trying to share my exprience and you might not see my point is fine then just go ahead with your view cos mine view might not be your view.

Simple here… If you see my point then i dont have to say much but if you dont then go ahead. Every people have different perspective! I am not putting here to have Judgement is more on sharing. If u see it as a judgment then you will see unfair or as what you said "qualify".

You can dont qualify that tittle but for me This school qualify it.

Hi,

I thinknu don’t get my point from the story at all. I am concerning the time in the school bus and the principle don’t see my concern at all. When I talked to other principle and even mothers about the timing of the school bus. The 1st reaction is wow long hr in the school bus and is so different from other sch.

Example now… My friend likes my daughter school that she is gg to but distance is a bit far for her and the principle is concern the journey for the child.

Yes she gave me back the cheque, Yes cos if she don’t I can also stop the cheque, you get it so it dosen’t matter on the cheque so much but is her TONE when she ans me…

I want to share this story, i dont know how about other parent look at this issue.

I enrolled my 2 yrs old daughter to this Shaws at Katong and the reason i want enrolled her is because i like the curriculum and the environment. I was so excited abt it but at that time i am still bot sure abt the sch bus issue cos they have to check.

The principle said that they have open house on following Mon so she said that in order to secure the place i have to register etc so i went back on fri night and told my hubby and we went down the next morning (Sat).

I call up the sch this week and check what is the news for sch bus.
The sch bus fees is $210 is a bit too ex for me but never mind since i like the sch i got no choice. But i realise that my 2 yrs old dd will be in the sch bus for 1 hr plus and i find is way too long for a 2 yrs old child so i called the principle and told her abt my concern and she told me this is the best she can and ask me to face reality, i was surprise to hear this frm a principle. I told her never mind i will see what i can do so intend to fetch my dd myself but the timing crush with my elder dd timing so i cant do that but to chose another sch for my younger dd.

I called up this morning and talk to the principle abt it and ask her do not bank in the cheque etc. cos we decided to withdraw it out cos since i have no way out frm this and we dont think is good for a 2 yr old child to spent such a long time in the bus.

THe principle said \"ok, Fine but Eileen is not very nice to do this cos we reserve a slot for you and you tell us you not interested\"

I told her \" well you as a educator and a principle i hope you can see the point that is not very good for a 2yr old child to take such a long journey\". and she said \" ok whatever. Pls return the uniform\"

I felt so angry but at the same time i feel so lucky cos my dd is not with this Shaws cos what her concern is not \"About my daughter but only her sch\"

U know for pats schoolhouse at Siglap the principle Eileen, when i told her i want my 2 yr old dd to take sch bus she look at me in surprised and said are u sure so i ask her what is her concern? she said she feel that she is a bit too young to take sch bus and she suggest why not you just fetch her for the 1st 3 months then later u see how so that she will feel better aft settling down at sch not too much for her to cope on the emotional part. Just for your info i din sign her up aft that but i an gg back to her liao.

I want to point out is such a big different between this 2 principle.
One only concerning abt her sch
One concerning abt my daughter.

Parent have to look at this when you look for sch.
the passion for the children not just only your sch.
attitude change when parent decided not to sign up.

Thanks for reading
Eileen

Well, you were undecided and you left the school in a lurch.

I don't see how this qualifies as the principal not caring about her students, more likely she doesn't care for your indecision.

How does this even qualify for a title like \"Bad Experience with Shaw's\". She returned your cheque and didn't charge you for the uniform, didn't she? She has no right to feel irritated with you and show you her unhappiness?

Home teach is a gd idea, but i think social skills is impt too.

Ya thats why sent her to enrichment for that. I am looking at alpha gym, art and she is attending sun sch so total overall is fine.

Last time my elder one only attend JG which is twice a week so i think should be a problem when she is gg to pre nursery next yr

No is at katong. From what i know they are family business. The principle at the katong is one of their family member.
