This School, That School..

You perhaps cannot understand how can i ever be so impressed with a Kindergarten. 

I took what Grace learnt in school for granted.. I felt that since we are paying arms and legs for Shichida Kindergarten, the amount they have taught to her was value for money.  She's usually ahead of her peers in childcare be it her speech or her motor skills.  

Since the previous childcare Nick and Grace was in was dirt cheap, i thought that they would at least do some good job in teaching sufficient stuffs if not more. 

Well, it isn't so. 

At first i thought the childcare was facing shortage of teachers problem, so i sent Nick for enrichment classes. The other reason i thought was, Nick is a slow learner. 

Well, now am thinking otherwise.. I think the childcare has short changed the kids!! 

It's week 4 since Nick started this current kindergarten, and, 
1. Instead of like the childcare had said, 1-20.. This kindergarten is doing 1-100.  
2. Nick is spelling words, reading and writing! And not just going on and on with phonics sounds only!
3. He's reading and writing chinese words unlike in the childcare, he never knew how to read and write a single word!

Damns, what have they been doing in childcare all these while?  How much more is he supposed to know but dunno because they aren't taught to him in childcare? DARNS!

I am not Kiasu! So Not Kiasu!!  Just ranting!!
