Graduated from here and lived close by for a good chunk of my life. I had great memories from this school and its faculties. My primary teacher, Ms.Leung was extremely nice and so was her assistant Ms.Wong or Huang. I still recall precisely how Ms.Leung was in tears when we weren’t behaving well. We ended up apologizing and feeling greatly ashamed. That part of the education stuck with me while I was growing up and shaped who I am today. It’s also worth noting that American education only goes as far as text book guidelines rather than having a more sensible approach by the teachers.

I read about the controversial changes implemented by the new principal through the local news. I was shocked and thought most of them were redundant. I understand the logic behind the change but this is America and people should bend to learn its culture and origin and not bending them to better accomodate the immigrants. Pledge of Allegiance is a joke. It was a Cold War product which should be completely abandoned. If you recite the entire Pledge of Alligiance and constantly reminding yourself that you are in 2016, you will find it rediculous to be part of our educational system. As for my two favorite holidays, Thanksgiving and Chrismas, I think it’s redundant to change the names just so the family of the students can better associate to the idea and value being presented. Thanksgiving and Chrismas represents a great deal of American value and there’s no reason why a person coming to the US should learn a different version of it. However, it is up to them if they want to interpret them in a different way.

As the parent of ps 169’s student , me and my son both had great experiences at school, and since I worked at school as the president of PTA, even just for two months , but I still learned a lot such as how to communicate well and how to make the some special events successful between the parents with the teachers and the school stuffs . The new principal Mrs. Jeala Kim who made the school administration more clear and more effective , the school’s new website help all the parents could understand more easier about things going on , school had make a lot of improvements not only let all students feel more comfortable,more safety to study , but also provided a lot of opportunities and activities which most parents could learn together, work together as volunteers . From principal, vice principals, school secretary to the parent’s coordinator, I met most of the school stuffs when I stay with PTA . They’re all pay attention and very friendly to all the parents when they in need of any kind of help , so hopefully everyone in school could keep work together as well as right now ! (Should include the all the parents )
