My girl changes her status from time to time..she can be a sweet little vain princess and next a vicious fighter!

She came down with this flower clip on her hair one day…..

She stuck stickers on her fingernails (don’t know where she got this idea from…I hardly do my nails ok..)

A demure lace wearing girl…please don’t be fooled by this look….

Fungates

As I was waiting for Kylie to come out from her class, there were a few other mothers around. One mother turned to me suddenly and asked me if my girl can read all the alphabets. I thought only my girl couldn’t read all the alphabets. I have difficulty teaching her how to write her name also.

Then this mother said that the Fungates system is not good, only can hear her daughter making sounds of the alphabets like a mute girl! I didnt agree with her on that part. Learning to pronounce and make sounds from the alphabets is important but the child must also learn which alphabet sounds like wat la…I reckon the teacher didn’t do a good job in teaching but the other mother doesn’t agree. She kept insisting it was the Fungates system. I have seen many schools adopting this system but I reckon the school should not follow the syllabus so rigidly.

Now I am in a dilemma, whether to let her continue with this school or switch….how ah???

For your information the other guy (photo in the paper) featured in the article has got nothing to do with me and he is not owner of the laundry which was featured. He was advocating about some other system.
