Strongly agreed.
Even presently can see many foreign, especially China
teacher in childcare center.
Standard drop and
worse corporal punishment used in childcare center, sad to share my
bad experience, and hope info is useful.
Corporal punishment
like shouting, hitting a child is prohibited under MCYS regulation.
More info can be found in MYCS website.
But the regulation
is brief, like emotional abuse, such as scolding of
"stupid" etc and physical abuse. Few weeks ago my son is
abuse by the center "China" teacher. Complaining to the principal
is useless as the teacher denied what she has done, and worse now
the principal after dragging this case also side with her teacher,
and claiming my 3 years old boy lying,
3 years old, now
having nightmare every night, and scare to go to the center and
afraid of the teacher who hit him…lying????
Just imagine NO
CAMERA in the center, and putting our children of 2~3years old in
childcare…how can they protect themselves, they even cannot express
their feelings. Right now still waiting for MCYS investigation
since last week… and has kept some concerning parents in the loop
of all email correspondants with MCYS, on the measures and
enforcement of their REGULATION on such corporal punishment to the
children.
Singapore as a
develop country, with so many RULES and regulation need to
investigate such a case???
To have another
kids??? With such protection and set back in a develop
country?
I rather
think….not only twice.
