The interview arrangement is really bad for my twins too. The teacher just separated them into 2 groups. How can I go with them both? I asked why they cannot arrange them into the same group. The teacher just said one adult to go with one child and where is their father. I told her that their father needed to work. Then the teacher asked me to go with one child first and the other one need to wait for the other time slot. That's fine!! I went through the 3 parts of interview and rushed to get the other one to repeat the whole process. The most funny thing was that the teacher called my little girl 3 times already while I was still with the other one interviewing. They even didn't know how long the interview took us. Finally, I spent more than 2 hours to finish the interview with my twins. They were so tired that fell asleep on the way home. I don't think I will consider this school for my girls after having this such of experience.
I seriously think the interview arrangement is very poor and time wasting. The school could of group the "Story time" & the "Individual interview" together rather than divided into two parts!?!? Last part was even more ridiculous, the parent has to fill out a questionnaire with the child side by side in an exam setting. My hubby said that totally shocked him!! The exam setting gave others the impression that the school was totally strict - is the 2 yrs old going to write exams?? I have to look after my son which he was actually not feeling well and filled out the long questionnaire at the same time. Where most other kinders will send out the form and ask the parent to fill at home and bring along to the interview. At the very end, the principal asked all the interviewed kids to return and bring the form to her, she mus-pronounced my son's name, The saddest part was she said to my son: "you can leave now!" The whole interview process took 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs and how can blames some of the parents lost patients at the teacher. It was total disappointment despite all good comments on the blog.
