Yet Another...

Openhouse in chiku's school.
There are 2 parts to it:
This is the first time I attended d 'sing along with mumma day' @ school. And also after this there was going to be a session of soft-blows.
As soon as Chiku n I entered d class, I saw that all d kids were sitting quietly with their mumma's n daddy's. When we entered, everything changed, chiku said hi to few of the gals and prodded everybody to come n play ' Ringa ringa roses'. The complete state n environment changed. Once quiet n passive enviro became all charged and excited and joyous and I was extremely happy that my baby was responsible for this. I thought to myself, well the soft blows are not gonna be blows after all (wait till I tell u more).

Part 2:
WE, the mums were handed over the so called 'progress report'. I didnt know how to react to it, I mean it wasn't that bad. But then what made me proud was the personality development section, which showed that the lil gal is actually a big gonda (like her teacher called her), well in a way it was nice to see that, she has grown to be a quite independent gal (tats what teacher meant). What happened after that was something that i didn't expect. All the parents (yes all the parents) surrounded the teacher and started asking her how her ward was performing? I didn't expect the teacher to go berserk and keep telling everyone infact every single person I heard was being told what their wards 'weaknesses' were. She doesn't concentrate, she doesn't speak, she doesn't do her homeplay, she doesn't talk, she talks too much, He know everything but when he asked he doesn't answer. Excuse me!!! so what are u teachers for???
Are we really talking about 4 year old people??? Come on !!! They have weakness!!! ARe these the same set of people who know how to surf channels on tv, how to switch on-off a certain electronic instruments, play games, unlock phones, give back some smart remarks. REALLY!!! If they have weakness, then what about us???
The teacher couldn't even pronounce few of the words. She was screaming at the top of her lungs to get her points across. Sympathise with the teacher!!! no ways. She handles a class of 43, so what??? There are children of different calibre, different mood, different background, yes there will be, won't there??? Didn't she study in a School??? She can't make a passive student start talking, I mean, hello, don't you do YOUR homework??? Aren;t there ways and techniques to get d child to improve, what are you for??? I mean, we have studied in a class where there were more than 50 students in the class, but don't you have that one teacher, who sort of inspires you and gets u interested in studies. I was lucky and I so wish my mummu would be lucky too(she had lovely teachers in eurokids, she still misses them). I promise to send her for diwali session to eurokids, just to meet her teachers again.
I don't what I m more upset about, for the teacher giving left-right-center to the parents in front of a whole junta or the teacher screaming poems infront of us. I so want to take back my feedback form n rewrite it all over agan. And the teacher telling me my childs weakness ( u don't know how much my blood was boiling :X). The teacher said, " your daughter CAN and does talk to anyone and everyone". My child talks, ya she does, she better talk, thats in her genes. Damn it!! I felt like scolding the teacher and telling her "Try listening to them, you never know what you might learn many many things, other than the water cycle ". The theme for this month is water-cycle. She was screaming her weaknesses from the roof-top. She made a statement "whenever I tell them about concepts, 50% of the class is just not paying attention but blah blah blah ..." I was like come on and that didn't bother you. I thought teaching was about holding hand of your weaker students and getting him to stand at par with the brightest one. But I believe this teacher will get even the brightest child to slip n fall.

I know, I have to do 2 things:
Bring it to the schools attention.
Give closer look to whats being taught in the school.


PS: I wrote this in one breath, yes, one breath, when I was extremely upset and hence you can see amazing amount of grammatical mistakes, I m not gonna go back n correct it. My Weakness.
