Computerized registration
Mar 13th, 2007 by jesslyn
This morning I went to do the school registration for Wien. Her kindy school teacher gave we parent a note on the registration info last week, informing us to do so by next week. Her school only accepts registration from 12/03/07 – 15/03/07, 4 days only; not like other school that can accept registration throughout the March period.
Ok, 8am I reach the school and the teacher are ready to serve me coz I am the first one there. They gave me 2 forms to fill up, then I hand over necessary documents such as :
Kid’s birth cert (original and copy)
Parent’s NIRC (copy)
Water, electricity or telephone bill (copy)
One 9′ x 4′ envelope with 50cent stamp on it(written our mailing address)
After I pass them everything, one of the teachers starts key in my info into the pc. Wow only I realized school nowadays getting advance too! LOL
I expect all these can be done within 15 min, but after 15 min, I still saw her ( another teacher already go to her and assist her) stare at the monitor. Being kpc, I go near to them and see what they are doing. Aiyo, they seem not familiar with the system and keyboard too, like a newbie using PC lar. After 20 min waiting, finally they finished keying all the data, and press the PRINT button. But after 1-2 min, the printer no respond at all, then she press here and there, still nothing come out. Then I start hinted them: can you check the power supply? Hahaha….they really not ON the power la! *fainted*
But story no end yet, the printer still show nothing out and the system already HANG. *sigh* The worst part is they dunno they key in until what serial number; also they dunno how to retrieve the data out from the system. *me fainted again* one of them suggest to key in again. Oh my, this will take me extra time to wait ler, and I did not apply gate pass too! Die lor, sure will be late to office today.
I saw them so difficult keying, so I kpc and offer myself to key for them! LOL…they allow me do so wor. Within 5 minuets I key in all data , of course la, I know my data more than them mah(like address and occupation etc), rather than they saw my fill up form and key in, right? Everything done, I press PRINT. *S*it* cannot print and coz the PC hang again. I start cursing liao, what’s the system they use wor?? Lucky they have 2 PC there, so I ask them use another PC and print out. At first they say cannot la, this and that….after I pursuing them to try, finally they listen to me, and it works! Phew, save my time too!
But I still late to office, late for 15 minutes. I NO blame the teacher, I only blame our goament, for not provide proper training to our teacher and also no proper guideline for them to refer when they have problem handling the PC.

Jesslyn,
You send to kebangsaan school ar? How is the school? Can give more feedback or not? The way they can’t even handle such a simple process makes me very worried.
sounds very worrying…but then again..they may not be as computer literate compared to us la..
Last time I involved with one of the gourment project. After you see how they do the training you won’t blame the teacher. Only BIG person got the change to attend training. Then this BIG person go back and train his staff. Weayyyy… Those BIG person quite “old” edi, how can they accept all the high-tech mia things in a few days’ training? We teach Big person 100%, I think they can only accept 20%. How to teach his sub-ordinate with the 20% input?
After reading beckysmum’s comment, I’m quite shock that they didn’t send teachers to computer training. I’m more shock that the teacher’s college doesn’t teach basic computer skills to those future teachers. Haiz..
pity the teachers…not trained…waste other people time..
how come the school I went still using manual system of recording down datas? And that also took about 20 minutes per person… I queue for 2 hours plus and the registration process another 20 minutes…
It’s depend the school, not all computerised.
Schools here like that-lah, so sat pai like that. Make me feel as if the teachers just wanna finish reading from the textbook and send the kids home.
MG,
I select Chinese school, mainly due to we are from Chinese edu background. Every school are the same actually, it’s depend how you rate it. Kebangsaan school never come across my mind all these while, I still prefer Chinese school’s method of handling student.
mom2ashley,
ya, that’s y i never blame them.
beckymum, chanel & Vien,
so sad hor…
dragonmummy,
after read grace and yours comment, only i know not all school using computerised system.
sue,
If i know this school has this kind of attitute, for sure I will file a report to Mis of Edu. This is not joke.
Huh? how come the registration done by teachers and not clerk? My son’s future school got clerks to do administration stuff.
Hehehe, they should hire you part time to do the job.
