Another problem at the school:

Last Thursday my son's K2 class teacher asked me to call her.

Found out that that day he had English class again with the same teacher as last time (remember the "autistic" incident).

The English teacher asked my son to recite the phonics A-Z. Though he knew them, he said that he didn't want to recite them.
She got angry and at the end of the class she asked my son to stay for another English lesson while all of his friends returned to their class.
My son cried and said he wanted to go home.

She then talked to the class teacher and in the end the class teacher told me that while my son was smart, the teaching system in the school was not suitable for him. Especially now in K2, where they're having lots of school works and dictations.
She suggested that we move him to another school.

I am so disappointed with the teachers there.
School's not even 2 weeks yet, and they'd just given up on my son!
Aren't they supposed to be patient?

I know my son can be trying sometimes (hey, he's not even 4 years old yet), but he isn't very naughty.

Is it because I went to the person in charged to complain about the English teacher last term that now she doesn't like having my son in her class?
Now I'm beginning to worry about my son while he's at the school.

I don't know about the school system here, but is this a normal practice in Hong Kong local school (and the teachers' attitude, too)?

Thanks for reading this.
