"Ik mee Toh was always rumoured to be the best primary scl in Punggol, but please take my honest advice. Any parent or kid looking to join this school, think twice. As a past meetohian, and looking back reflecting as a more matured person, this school was straight up trauma and hell. Firstly, some teachers here, and if not almost all, have some obsession with scolding. And it’s not even normal scolding, because they do not understand you whatsoever and just starts scolding u non stop. I remember there was a guy in primary one and he had autism. He was dragged out of the class and the teachers teared his homework because he had a panick attack and flipped a table. I get it, it’s not the right thing to do, but did the teacher try to understand and help? No and whatever they did made the situation so much worse. And also from personal experience, I did something wrong in primary 4, and the Chinese teacher screamed out her lungs and flipped the table at me. It might seem like nothing reading this, but can you imagine yourself in that situation, 10, helpless, and getting shamed in front of the whole class. I was crying so bad because everyone in the class was judging me. At the same time, when I offered to talk to the teacher outside and apologise, she refused and forced me to apologise in front of her face. This might seem reasonable, but pls even thought I am 10 i still have 自尊心 eventhough I did something wrong. And I was only 10, of course I would make mistakes, all you have to do was teach me and correct me, not shame me in front of the class. After that incident, I lost all my friends and became depressed. Did the scolding work? No. All it made was make me hate the school and teacher more. At the period of time, I literally felt like killing myself because of the atmosphere and the constant judges and gossips behind your back. Even worse, my classmates would gossip in front of face and tell me they don’t like me and don’t want me to join them. As a 10 years old, this setback took such a big toll on me that I would never be able to forget. All of this is not me ranting. This happened years ago, but it would forever me in my heart. As an grown up, I really did not understand why the teachers had to repeat me so badly, and honestly what happened wasn’t even that big of a deal. Some people might say that bullying is not the teachers taught or anything, but I have to tell you that the teacher would always brain wash students in one of the best three classes they are better and have to set a role model and we should behave better than other classes. Being from one of the best class, I remember one of the most frequent thing the teacher would say to us is that we are the best class and still behave like the other classes, so we should be ashamed of ourself. Also when we do good, the teacher would always praise us and compare us to the other classes. This might also seem like nothing, but imagine getting told this every day for around 600 days, don’t you think the student would be manipulated into having a mindset like this too? So all this bullying does not happen suddenly or for no reason, it’s all the small little brain washes teachers give to the students that make them think like this. Overall I think this school was hell, tan sun sun sucked as a principle, I have no freaking idea what the discipline master did, and the Chinese teacher with the surname tan because I can’t remember her name, I hope y’all know that whatever yall did made my life so miserable I felt like killing myself , and I definitely had depression that time. If you don’t want ur child to get depressed or kill themselves, pls do not opt for this school. Even though their PSLE matter, and you might be a high achiever parent, but this type of hell and trauma is really not worth it. All the best"
