hi xogogo,

I am not too surprised hearing about you. I attended the Parent's forum at the school and was shocked to hear this person talk about things like - the toys are not chinese as we all know how bad the quality is...- I think at her level she should not be opinionated and making such statements; its the responsibility of the school to teach good and not pass judgement. I found her arrogant and was clear i did not want my kid studying there...so pls find another school for your son which respects the child and is focused on education.
 
We were there for a trial class about a year ago and didn't enjoy the class at all because Ms J was very rude not particularly to me, but to another mom. The classroom is nice but I wouldn't pay an arm and a leg for my lo to be in that school, especially when the outdoor play area is so close to a street with heavy traffic, not to mention being taught by someone so rude and strict. Every Montessori school is different, and this one wasn't for us.
 
in her defence, i don't think that she was passing judgement on CHINESE PEOPLE, rather on toys that were made in china... VERY different things. MILLIONS of toys from china were recalled. MILLIONS of parents around the world are concerned with the quality of TOYS from china, NOT with the quality of PEOPLE.

don't get your knickers in a twist about that. it was not personal against you, or any other chinese person out there.
 
agree with cara. i agree ms j might come across arrogant at the beginning but really she has your child's best interest at heart. having said that everyone has their own right of opinion

best of luck
 
i've only met her once, when my son won a month's free classes last summer.

he seemed to enjoy the class. i just don't have the money to spend on a place like that, especially when i teach playgroups myself.
