Parents Teacher Meeting

Yesterday, Caden's LSK form teachers popped by our home at 9pm to conduct a Parents teachers meeting (PTM). My ah lou and myself were fairly anxious and concerned with this trip as they insisted doing a home visit instead of us making a trip down to Caden's school.

We thought Caden must be one of the more problematic children in school hence the form teachers are curious to know his home environment in order to provide the parents better advice in terms of discipline.

But to our surprise, both Mrs May Low and Miss Adeline Chua sang praises for our little boy. They commented that Caden is a well-behaved boy in school and considered to be rated as above-average in terms of academic as he usually understands what the teachers teach and can answer to all their questions. In fact, he is so well-behaved that the teachers told us that they didn't know what to talk abt for Caden since there isn't much negative feedback for them to update us.

We were relieved, of course.

Since this is a formal PTM for Caden as he started his N2 (going to K1 next year), we have been concerned with his progress and social skills in school. The teachers commented that Caden has opened himself up in term 2 and has shown interest in his classmates and been fairly chatty.

Although he is a tyrant at home, we were glad that he has behaved and conducted himself well in his school. Both teachers advised us to take it easy for him and not to exert too much pressure in terms of academic since he is only 4 yrs old and let him enjoy his childhood as much as possible. This is with the view that Caden has displayed a certain level of intelligence in class which has been considered above the pack.

As parents, we are Happy.

So tonight, Mummy did not enforce a story session and let him had the freedom to do free play before his bedtime.
