Wan Qi's Big Day - First Day of School at Talent Plus

On 1st July 2008, Wan Qi is all prepared to go to school. She has been looking forward to this day. After her first visit to the school, she will always drag me to her school while we were walking to PunggolPlaza.
It was a busy morning for all of us. I was busily preparing breakfast for her, bathing her, feeding her and dressing her. My mum laughed and said Wan Qi seems to be going to University - such a grand day. haha




















Unfortunately, Talent Plus didnt turn out to be a good choice. On the very first day of school
the management was late. Parents waited for half an hour outside the school. They did a last minute mopping before the school starts. Sign.






























































I helped to let the kids form a circle to sing songs cos the teachers are not able to do so. Yes even when there are 3 teachers around. Sign.















Wan Qi listening attentively to the teacher.
In the end, after attending 5 days of lesson and paid an amt of $295 for the fees, I decided to stop sending Wan Qi to Talent Plus. The reason being the school is in a mess. The teachers are not able to handle the kids whose ages ranges from 18mths to 3 yrs old. Many times those younger kids nearly topple on Wan Qi cos they were wobbling around. There was once, a stranger came in and a boy nearly went out with him, luckily i was around to bring him in and the worst thing was the 3 teachers didnt notice it.

Then during the session, Wan Qi always come and tell me that school is over , she wants to go home. Subsequently its worse she told me that she doesnt want to go to school. Then I understoody why when i accompanied her on Youth Day. Simply becos the place is like a crying hell. There were no proper lessons being conducted and the children are crying like crazy and the teachers dont know what to do with them. They simply give them toys and play dough for them to play on their own. Worse some of the kids put those play dough in their mouths and the teachers didnt notice again. Phew after all these i thought i really should forgo the $295, cos i dont want Wan Qi to develope a phobia in schools. She have always love school - Shichida. She is always asking us When is Sunday? When is she going to Shichida? I must really reconsider of sending her back to Shichida. I guess.

My final decision is to let Wan Qi take the trial lesson at Shekinah and see how is it. Then maybe go to shichida on weedends but siong leh. Shichida wise still have to consider.
