聖若望英文書院... HOW SAD!!!!

I'm a K1 full day mom.  There is something I wish to share.

On the first two days of K1, I saw little number of nannies.  It was insufficient that some non-teaching staff had to help toiletry also.  There was not even soap for washing their little hands in the toilet.  

My son bumped his head in the school (part of my son's fault.  I'm not blaming individual teacher, teaching assistant or nanny) after change of new class teacher only after the first week.  I sent 2 blankets with my kid but they said they never saw them. The qualification of PTH teaching is in doubt.    I did not receive full set of winter uniform till now.  They did not even tell me how should a proper winter uniform looked like.  

However, I was very delighted that my kid did learn a lot (English, maths, Chinese & etc. even writing for a such a little kid).  My boy became more polite, disciplined and confident.  I wanted to thank the old staff when my son has just got accepted by another good KG early this week.

I have been planning to leave the school in K2 or so.  After I knew there was a change in the principal this Monday, I wanted my son to leave the school immediately.

However, change of school is a big issue to my family arrangement.  I like the Syllabus (esp Eng) the most which is ahead of many others.  I like the traditional way of teaching that make my boy sit, write and read.  

After talking with the new principle, I sensed they had a great move to improve the school.  I think as a parent I have to face forward.  I'd like to stay and give a chance for the new management to do their work.   Of course, there are still many questions and worries.  Kids are fast to adapt to new teachers.  I hope the mess during transition period is minimal and our kids' safety should be the top priority.  The new management should explain to the parents their future plans ASAP.  

I wish the school will continue providing quality education to our kids under the new team.

Through today's news, I think I have a better understanding to what has been happening.

Anyway, our kids interest and the school's future are parents' concern.  The people who's taken up the school should have a mind for the betterment of our children.  They have to face the parents' worries, and show how they will do in detail.  No hollow words and mere promise please.

They have to know that we are truly supporting to a school which are really concerned about our kids' future......
