~Sleeping Beauty at school~

Besides the MAD incident happened this week, actually there is another issue bothering mummy. This is about my jiejie's unusual behaviour in school since Tuesday. I got a message in my jiejie's daily record book like this : Xin Yi is very emotional today, had she slept very late last nite? Wednesday morning, when i sent her to school, one of the teacher told me that she looked like very tired. Ok, mummy thought it might bcos of lack of sleep, jiejie bit emotional at school lar.... who knows later afternoon, i received a call from the principal!

The principal told me jiejie refused to join the class and only stick to her favourite teacher. Yea, her favourite teacher is called Mandy. She told Mandy she was very tired, she wanted to sleep. She even placing her head on the table and keep yawning. The teachers saw her so tired, finally brought down a mattress for her to sleep. The principal called mummy to find out if there is anything abnormal happened at home recently which she scare might affect jiejie's emotional. Mummy scratch head until all the dandruff drop oso can't find a reason and this time mummy really panic! Aiyoh, first time received such call from principal and tok about my jiejie unusual behaviour sumore wor...

The principal told mummy they are oberseving her closely and wish to find out the root cause, at first she thaught jiejie might be bullied by the other kids at school. Later they watched her closely and found no such things.....then, the principal told me that jiejie seem like very rejected on her, she wonder this might bcos on she raised her voice when asking the kids no running around. Since then, she found that jiejie hardly approached her. This is one of her suspect reason lar.

But when i back home and asked jiejie, she told me she was happy in school. Strange! Ok, yesterday mummy called the principal asking how was the progress of my jiejie in school. The principal told me they manage to identify to root cause, the principal asked teacher Mandy to have a small talk to jiejie, when they are happily talking, the principal then joined in. Surprisingly my jiejie suddenly cried loud and keep saying she dun wan the principal! YES! YES! BINGO!

It is so true that they believed Jiejie might saw the principal serious face on Monday while commanding the kids to stop running. She feel scared lor...The principal told me, small kid like jiejie might not remembered what exactly the incidence about! But somehow she will remember something is irritating her, u need to remind her again & again! this can explain by using flash card to enhance the small kids memory, repeat doing daily. The principal explained to jiejie she was not scolded her in fact, and she need to raise voice in that situation or else the kids whose running around might not hear cleary. At first, she wanna hug jiejie showing tat she likes her, and convince her she is one of her best student. Too bad, jiejie refused! After the talk, lastly she managed to hug jiejie shortly. and guess what?

Jiejie no more complain she is sleepy and able to join the calss afterwards. By the time, she went back she oso waved her hand, bye bye to the principal. The best part was the principal later called a meeting on the same day with all the teachers, reminded the teachers not to shout so loud to the kids, and must be very careful of using pitch! Wah, sound very serious horr! In fact, the principal told me that this is the first case for her, and she is in the opinion that jiejie is a mature and sensible girl. We all agreed that she used sleepy as a reason to avoid class, the principal as well. See, what a cheeky Sleeping Beauty i have?

Today as last school day of this week, early morning, jiejie still cried told mummy she dun like the principal, keep repeat the same sentence. Mummy promised her to tell the principal to stay away from jiejie. So this morning, when i saw the principal i told her jiejie seems to still reluctant to her.....mummy scare the principal 'pai seh', so i says, its ok...just need some time to get over her, in fact now is better, unless now she just dun wan the principal rather than she didn't want to go to school at all for last 2 mornings.

Personally, mummy is glad with the principal and teachers reaction on this issue with jiejie. They did a great job by observing jiejie, trying to find out the reason. Take initiative to call mummy asking of co-opeartion of both parties, can tell that they are really concern about the students. This time mummy really pick up a right school for jiejie.

For Jiejie, like the principal said, it is a relief for all of us cause now they know the root cause and she need to do is only to find ways to tackle her, rather than have no clues at all what had happened to my jiejie's unusual behaviour. Yea, mummy agreed too! and mummy confidence the teachers there sure will improve the situation, and it definately need sometimes i guess! :-)
