Hear from parents about their experiences with Yio Chu Kang Primary School.

"My child has been assigned to this school by the government. While the experience in P1 was manageable, the situation significantly worsened in P2 and became even more apparent in P3, particularly after the change of principal. Over the course of a single year, this class has been assigned five different math teachers. One of the teachers even made a sarcastic remark, suggesting that as students of a top class, they were sufficiently capable and therefore would not require to write down notes. As a result, my child is currently receiving a C in math. When I earnestly requested remedial lessons during the Parent-Teacher Meeting, the response I received was that a C is considered average, and therefore no remedial support is necessary. You may draw your own conclusions."

"The school like all other schools offer via programs and ''project" for students, in hopes of nurturing their students character growth development in terms of behavior, soul, mind, heart and body. However, what sets it apart from the ( sincerely apologize ) not so good schools will probably be the devotion, mindset and attitude towards their students in their hopes of nurturing their future for the better. For example, the ( chough ), the above comment of Mr tan ticking a p2 water bottle, all though the actions are ummm...... Undesirable. If we take a step further and analyse it positivly the reason behind it could be his anger from the students bad behavior and wanting the best from them tried to correct them to avail. With no outlet from his anger, he kicked the p2 student's bottle. So overall I can't say it's the best, but at least it's there and you can see it."

"School has no problems,it's the kids in the public bus, 1st problem:Some kids may be loud but over the past few months they have gone crazy in the bus,running in the bus,screaming and even drawing on the seats. One of my experiences was that one kid slapped a kid a few times and then the kid I think named benedict shouted:Stop Slapping me,the kids kept cursing at each other which really hurted my ears,there was also an elder person who i think had hearing problems covering his ears,I feel really bad for him,he even tried to quiet them down but they screamed back at him,he got off the next stop. Pls see this review and take action into this matter"

"Firstly, Ellen should know that the students are creating the problem not the School. All the teachers are trying to solve the issue and by writing the review like that is going to stress the teachers more. The school is very good. They give a sufficient amount of play, fun and studies. I just want to point out that there is one very strict Math Teacher. He taught me from P4 till now. Otherwise the school is very clean and fun. School has alot of celebrations."

"Excellent school that recognise the theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI), there are eight types of intelligences – linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinaesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalist. These will surely help students improve their independence leadership skills and resilience.
