Mee Toh Parents Teachers Association
For parents of Mee Toh Primary School, to be more effective in communicating our thoughts and needs to the management of the school instead of being ignored....I suggest the formation of a Parents Teachers Association (PTA) or Parents Teachers Society (PTS). There are many PTA across Asia that provides productive suggestions in strengthening the partnership between the school and parents. Please think about it. Registering a society is simple and recruiting members shouldn't be tough. We just need some good volunteers to kick star!!!

Mee Toh Primary School | Feedback and Comments by Parents
Mee Toh Primary School | Feedback and Comments | 2013
(This blog is dedicated to the the parents and students of Mee Toh Primary School)
Parents of Mee Toh Primary are facing many challenging issues at the start of the year when the single session is being introduced. Much publicity has been generated across social & print media during this 2 weeks. Many parents are concern on the operation guidelines ranging from school time table to shortening of recess timing. I would like to point out a few issues that I came across as a parent.
Firstly, the human traffic congestion at Gate 2 was chaotic. Both P1 & P2 are being released at Gate 2 compound and the parents assembled ranges from 150-200 based on a 1-to-1 (parent to student) ratio at a given time. A 15-minute wait becomes a 30-minute struggle everyday just to fetch our kids. But parent traffic at Gate 1 was not congested at all because some of the upper primary students make their way back themselves. By directing either P1 or P2 to Gate 1 will definitely reduce the congestion. If you are present at Gate 2, you would understand the frustration that parents are going through everyday.
Secondly, recess time has unintentionally being reduced to about 15 minutes due to the over crowding of the canteen. Different classes are being released at a different time interval and thus, affecting the usual 30-minute break. My kids have to que for about 5-10 minutes to purchase their food and left with only 5 minutes to have their meals. I was there on the first day and the process was really very disorganized and messy. Be prepare to expect 500-600 students, P1 + P2, queing for food during the 15-minute recess.
Thirdly, we are no longer allow to enter the school on raining days unlike last year. I can imagine how inconvenient & frustrated it'll be on a raining day when i am there to fetch my kids.
