School system in my area

I have been here for 2 years now and every time I pick up my children, I find it frustration.

1. Car park not enough. So every morning, better get there early if not, you will be ending up finding car park before you can bring your child to school. Yah sure you can drop your child off and let them walk into the school by themselves. However, no security guard to watch to ensure your child is in school after you come pick them up end of the school day. Especially when your child is still small, you definitely don't want to drop them off and let them walk by themselves. There are other parents and other people in the school compound and if you know what I mean.

2. Pick up point. Well, that works well. Still got a tad bit frustration there too. People don't cross at the zebra crossing. Are they blind or simply to their convenient. Ok... if you do that... fine ... have decency to cross over faster and not take your own sweet time. However, many people have no consideration. They just cross without looking at on coming cars. Don't they even drive to understand this concept, cars need to move coz it is a pick up point! DUH!!! Well, the school really needs to stop releasing children from that corner to get all these people to not cross like that! Arghhh... think not gonna see that happening.

3. Ok ... I do feel that some teachers are good at directing traffic. However, some really isn't. Can please don't get these people to do traffic! It is damn dangerous! I once was once in my vehicle ready to move away from the pick up point. This teacher directing the traffic tell me to move but there was someone still trying to cross at the zebra crossing. Hey ... you trying to get me into trouble?

4. I have encountered this during 2 terms of school. Whenever the school starts, the school never seem to organized properly enough to get the children in line when the bell rings. There is always issues. Well, I won't be able to see this ever get better in the near future.

5. Not sure exactly how the school system works here. My child lost all  friends that were with the same class last term. This term have to get to know new friends. Not that it is a bad thing but is this how it works, I really wonder? Or is there a real reason behind it? Anyway, doesn't really matter to me anyhow coz I am leaving soon. Thank GOD that my child is strong and does not get affected by it.

The good side to it ... I noticed that the principals here really work hard. They care for their children and they walk around to ensure things are in order. Hhahhahha .... I am laughing becoz many of the parents will go direct to principals to complain :P. They even go to the extend to do the job for the teachers. How many would do that? That is one thing I admire the principals here. They already at the top of the school but they still look out for things around the school and not just walk walk only....Really KUDOS to them!
