We need to see the parents...

"She's very quiet"

"She didn't respond in class"

"She like to be alone"

"She didn't mix with the friends"

"When I asked her to go to the front, she didn't go"

"She can't read"

"She has communication problem"

"She cannot repeat words"

"But, she's good in Maths. No problem at all"

"She's good in artistic. she colors well"

"She copy things correctly"

That were what being told by Coan's teacher, Mrs Sm1th@. Yes, she is an 1nd1@n from 1nd1a. I could hardly understand her English. So, how could my Coan understand her?

"You should stress the importance of study hard to her, you know."

That came from the Vice Principle, Mrs Milhan. Yes, another 1ndi@n. Her English is much better but still I had to listen carefully to be able to undestand. Stress the importance of study hard? Coan is hardly 6 years old (she'll be 6 in March 16). Its time for her to have fun while learning. There is no major exam like UPSR, or PMR or even SPM (I don't know what exam that they have in here) yet. Besides, she was only 2 months in the school. The environment is alien to her.

That's what we (abang and I) told them (P, VP, Teacher). The lion face of the VP doesn't shows an educator look at all. She was rude. Really rude. While we were having the discussion, she went out. Then she came back and said something that 4 of us already discussed! What kind of teacher is that? Perhaps she forgot that she works in a private school. The students paid for her salary. I was annoyed, really annoyed but I didn't express it out. I was cool... Alhamdulillah... (hahahaaa... the female tiger is still sleeping)

The Principle? She just looked at us and gave suggestion how to help Coan. She didn't raise her voice but the VP did, with her fiery look. Ouch!! The look could kill a rat!

I agree my dear Coan may have some problem in English communication (blame it on us who rarely speak English at home) but how could the teacher be so pushy. Give her some time. She'll pick up soon. I believe so and I really hope so.

The VP and the teacher were hurried to go back (they took the school bus to go home. so, they couldn't afford to stay longer). After wrapping up the discussion, she said,

"Okay, thank you."

Then she left. Waaaa.... we haven't leave. What kind of business entity is this? The customers are still waiting and you, the provider left like that?

We waited there with the Principle. The principle told us that they just need to see the parents and update about our daughter's performance. Okay... good enough. Before this (last week, the VP told my husband the possibility to down grade Coan to KG 1. KG 1 is for 5 years old. Coan is in KG 2 now, for 6 years old)

When we raised the issue, we don't want Coan to be down graded, the Principle said,

"No... that's not what our concern is.."

Fair enough. If I'm not mistaken, that was when the VP left the room. The VP has told a different story to my husband before.

We have talked about it last night. We were thinking of changing my kids to a different school if today discussion is provoking. Luckily, it didn't. This year, they'll be in the same school. Next year, would be a different story.

We ended up thinking of giving a tuition for Coan. A different teacher who can teach her to read and communicate in English is needed, just to satisfy Mrs Sm1th@ and the VP! I could teach her but it won't be that effective since she's so 'manja' and I know she would not listen to me.

We'll see Coan. In 2 months time, Ummi really hope you improve a lot. Insyaallah...
