New School and Class Repetition Drama

Hello moms and dads of hive! I'm back with another question for you all.

This time I want to know... Do you mind having your kids repeat her class in a new school? Or even get double demotion because the new school didn't think she wouldn't do well in her class?

Well my neighbor won't have it. And I won't have it either if I was on her shoes.

A couple of days back I accompanied my new neighbor to check out a new school for her daughter. They recently moved into our building and part of the things she needed to sort in order to help her settle here is finding a new school for her daughter and she needed my assistance in assessing her various options. Meanwhile, I think she is a single mom because she didn't move in with her partner and I'd be interfering if I asked her why she needed my assistance in that manner instead of her husband. Since I hardly go out these days and my baby and I have been bored of recent, I thought it cool to assist her find a school for her daughter.

She wanted a school that was not too far from the house for her 3years old girl and so we took a walk around and to the closest school to us.

The security and compound of the first school we entered had a pass mark by my rating. But because I have learnt not to judge a book by its cover, I took a chill pill on my judgement to focus on what really matters- Learning and character moulding values of the school.

The kid was made to take an interview. Her results came out perfect except for her writing skill which has need for improvement. The class teacher complained that the little girl would not cope in her class since she could not copy words properly from the board. Hence she should be kept in a class one grade below. But her mom wouldn't have it.

To cut the long story short, we had to continue our search. Yeah, we left that very school which was our first option and checked out other schools next to it. It turned out that the second school met our taste. Or should I say surpassed it in every sense of it. The warm welcome and a feeling of belonging displayed by the head teacher towards us was especially evident in the little girl's demeanor.

I was happy we didn't settle for less at the previous school because, the teacher seemed not ready to have one more pupil in her class as her class was obviously full to capacity. There is no doubt that the little girl was going to be treated less of a pupil in that class if we had insisted because she'll always be seen as not qualified for that class and any little slack on her side would be taken as a proof to that 'fact'.

The little girl has long resumed in her new school and she is having a good experience so far judging by how eager she is to see the school bus every morning. And how she returns from school singing the songs she learnt from school that day with so much energy and vigour. Not to mention how perfectly she fits in her new school uniform. The black pinafore on white inner matches her skin tone perfectly. Oh how I love those sport wears she wears mid week for sports activities.

I'm glad I was able to assist her mother find her a new school. The most interesting part of the experience is that the little girl calls on me every morning to say bye before going to school and I never fail to look through my window to respond with compliments. As a matter of fact, I wait for her call eagerly every morning. She's just pure joy like that.
