Very Disappointed in my Sports and Wellness Lecturer who forces us to do 10 sets of 8 push ups, Sit ups an run. Despite I'm having my National Service Next Year, First Month despite my PES Status is B2 due to medical concern relating to my eyesight. The ITE College could've done better than to check with MINDEF for Students who have such Medical Related after Checkup if they had any Upcoming Pre-Enlisted National Service for Next year before making them take an IPPT test before they even graduated from college.
I am the parent of a student who has been in this school for four years (Nitec & Higher Nitec), and unfortunately, the customer service experience from some staff members has consistently been disappointing. One experience that stood out was with the Korean food stall. The hijabi lady working there has been extremely rude and unfriendly on multiple occasions. At around 10am, when there was barely any queue, I was standing at a safe spot away from others just trying to look at the menu, and she suddenly shouted “WHAT?” at me in a very aggressive tone. On another occasion, I was trying to place my order but couldn’t hear properly, and instead of helping, she responded with attitude. My daughter has also had multiple unpleasant encounters with the same staff member. On one occasion, she was even screamed at despite approaching politely. It is disappointing to see students being treated in such a harsh and unprofessional manner in a school environment. I understand that work can be stressful, but students should not be treated harshly for simply asking questions or ordering food. I also had a poor experience at CVC regarding my EZ-Link card enquiry. I approached a staff member politely to ask for more information, but she dismissed me quickly and gave very little explanation with a rude attitude. In the end, I had to rely on my daughter to ask her peers for help, and they were honestly more informative and approachable than the staff themselves. After reading many similar reviews from other students, it seems like this behaviour is not uncommon. There appears to be a recurring issue with some staff members speaking harshly or dismissively towards students, which creates an unwelcoming environment. At the end of the day, this is a school environment where students should feel comfortable asking questions and seeking help without being spoken to aggressively. I genuinely hope the school looks into these issues and improves the overall student experience.
As a parent i am very disappointed with Mr Kenneth Beng Huat Tan’s conduct.Instead of taking the time to understand what happened, he appeared to make assumptions before speaking to or scolding my child. A teacher should listen to both sides of a situation before reaching conclusions. My child deserves to be treated with fairness and respect, just like every other student. I hope Mr Tan reflects on his approach and communicates with students in a more understanding manner. Schools should be a place where students feel supported, not judged before they have a chance to explain themselves.
