I Had My Child Attend This Primary School, But...
I had my child attend this primary school, but I had a very disappointing experience as a parent. First, I felt serious concern about the lack of consistency and fairness in how the school handled bullying. My child was subjected to verbal and physical harassment by a particular student for nearly three years, but during that time, the school never implemented any effective measures to address the situation. What's more, after my child finally stood up for themselves verbally after years of enduring this mistreatment, the school uncritically accepted the other student's parents' complaints and imposed an incomprehensible punishment—my child alone was isolated for three days. In the end, the bullying continued right up until the day my child transferred schools. Additionally, I cannot shake the impression that the school places excessive emphasis on events and competitions for external image rather than on education itself. In many instances, it felt like the children were being used to promote the school rather than being developed for their own growth. Furthermore, from the perspective of someone with an inside view, I observed that frequent staff turnover has resulted in unstable instructional systems, and there are clear signs of operational confusion due to inexperienced management.
