The begining of the year, there was a child name Ashley came to our school.
She is now 6 years old, and placed at advanced class.
Due to her Mandarin standard is not that high, she feel so stress and cry every morning.
Her mom did put in effort to coax her go to school.
There's one day, i meet her, i talked nicely to her and invite her stay at my medium class (中班). She cope well, just that she dont have much patient to sit on the chair throughout the whole class. She will move here and there, scratching here and there.
Day after day, with her parents support and guidance at home, she able to catch up in my class. She able to recite everything i taught on that day, she able to sit straight with little movement.
This was a big improvement that i can see. I share this achievement with the parents, and parents did tell me that she behave well at home, and always remembered her mom to let he revise before go to the bed. At home, she will tell everything what i told her. She keep her promise that will have revision everyday.
6 months later, she can be the leader of the class, she can sit still and guide other new-comer-student, she can do anything as i told to do. I'm very happy with it and she feel very happy too. She is now cheerful and come to school early to see my smiling face to her. She is just adorable.
I just love to hug her every morning, and i treasure the time to teach her. She is a perfect student in my heart. I spend my time and effort on her, and it paid!!
Parents was keep saying thank you to me and happy with own daughter performance. But story doesnt end like this. Due to heavy assignment and studies, i decided to resign. Before i resign, there is a teacher who handle my class. Around 2 months transition, all the kids accept that i will leave one day to studies. I told them to study hard as like me, study very hard now!
Recently, i heard from my colleague. there is a tradegy. Advanced class teacher punish Ashley with the WRONG way!!! When i heard the story from the beginning till end, i was very upset with this teacher. I wil never never punish my child with this way. definitely is OVER PUNISH!!! And the teacher doesnt put herself in the shoes, if someone punish her in the middle of everyone!! Duhh...... Ashley is a girl with soft heart. She cant accept those hard punishment. From the moment i teach her, i understand her attitude well... i can't accept that this teacher do it to my child( i claim is my child, because in the class, everyone is my own child. i treat them as my OWN CHILDREN). My heart was bleeding and hear broken.
I blame myself, if i didnt leave the school, she will not face this punishment. I will protect her when i saw it. I will advocate for her. The case is 2 days back, and now only i receive this news! Argh... Feel so sorry to my lil one.. Ashley, i know you will be strong, and i know you will not keep this in your heart. I hope i can hug you and let you cry out in my huggies.
Tomorrow i will go back to the school, to visit my children! I want them to prove to me, they are same as me, study hard!!! Go Go Go children! You are the best.
p.s: should i say this is child abuse? or? thank god is the crazy teacher resigned herself...! duhh....
