Teachers or I should say the staff are 'protected' in MOE. <BR/><BR/>Like in this case, MOE received the letter but didn't want to do an investigation, leaving it to the principal to deal with us. And of course 'no thief would admit he stole', right? So you see the wayang and the continued bullying.<BR/><BR/>This is a government school. So there is nothing you can do. Ordinary citizens are so helpless and hopeless.eastcoastlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578276762751929226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16572633.post-23690952457023804152007-06-29T02:51:00.000+08:002007-06-29T02:51:00.000+08:00Would it not be possible for Xiaoran to transfer t...Would it not be possible for Xiaoran to transfer to another school which has more compassion for an oversease student? <BR/>If she is a fee paying student, why should she put up with such threats from her teacher?<BR/>I don't understand. With no pupils, no school fees, this teacher will be without a good pay job.<BR/>When my kids were in a private school, parents have a lot of say but at the same time co-operation between teachers, parents and pupils were top priority. If a teacher ever talked to a child or parent the way this teacher did to Xiaoran and your husband, the teacher would soon be disciplined.A Mature Studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05070734195396778750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16572633.post-42226485701827394762007-06-28T23:06:00.000+08:002007-06-28T23:06:00.000+08:00Yes, May.The father had already donated a sum of m...Yes, May.<BR/>The father had already donated a sum of money to the school.

They have always welcomed foreign students and will strive to cater for them regardless of age or nationality. I've heard of many success stories from that school. I think you should really reconsider since it is also near where you live. If not, your ward would really be wasting her time there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16572633.post-66079160831031123742007-06-28T14:24:00.000+08:002007-06-28T14:24:00.000+08:00Poor Xiaoran!
