Pre-school "teachers" (1 Viewer)

Isabelle goes to Montessori two mornings a week. She gets notes home from her teachers now and again with fairly appalling spelling and grammar. They had a "healthy eating day" recently in the place where they dipped pieces of fruit into melted chocolate ...



Hopefully her teachers in big school will be more clued in

healthy eating DAY. Jaysus.

healthy eating DAY. Jaysus.

It started off like that in mys sisters primary school and morphed into healthy eating day every day with the kids only being allowed mad sugary stuff once per week. Good thing that.

I'd have zero tolerance for teachers who couldn't spell or punctuate.

I'd certainly be kicking up if it was big school, not much point now I wouldn't think correcting the grammar of the teachers when the kid is only learning her letters

The montessori that the girls go to is great, they love it! They seem to have great crack, and the women there seem to be all really nice, so that's the main thing. After a number of unfavourable experiences with childcare, it's a real relief.

I am constantly worrying when talking to HMB about singular and plural.

"I have your foot. Oh, now I have two. I have your FEET now. FEET."

Or, if I'm holding his toes and not his actual foot, he might think his toes are called feet.

I'm dreading explaining gravity to him.

My cousin sent his kid to a montessori last year to try and get him used to being out of the house without his parents. He's pretty strict when it comes to the kid and he isn't allowed watch a lot of dvds or telly or whatever. So a few days after he started he was letting him watch a dvd as a treat and the kid was all like "Saw that the other day...saw that the other day" about pretty much everything. So the dad starts asking him some questions and it turns out the "teacher" was pretty much plonking the kids in front of the telly and letting them spend the day there. Needless to say he was withdrawn pretty sharpish..

It's mostly in notes home to us - Random use of Capitals, apostrophe's all over the place, mispelled words. We got a questionnaire lately trying to figure out if we were happy with the service we are getting - a list of 14 items, some of them pretty much identical, which we were asked to rate in order of importance from 1 to 15. One of the items was "Consistence of Care of your child". What does that even mean?
