Today, when communicating with my child, I found out that their English teacher had resigned, and for a month there was no fixed teacher to teach them, only a Chinese teacher. I pay more than $2000+ for tuition, but if this teacher takes leave or rests, there will be no fixed teacher in the class. When I came to this school, the principal said that the ratio of teachers to students is at least 2-3 teachers per class. Since there is only one teacher, I would have chosen a lower-priced school. I hope that the principal or the management can take this matter seriously. As the principal, a new teacher should be hired immediately after the old one resigns. I don't believe that a school that pays high salaries cannot hire a teacher. As parents, we hope that our children can improve in school. We would rather pay more tuition. As for schools that frequently change teachers, I am very opposed to it as a parent. Frequent changes of teachers can make children lack discipline. Just when they adapt to a new teacher, they have to change again, which is very harmful to the holistic development of children. Parents who are considering enrolling their children in Odyssey Wilkinson should seriously consider the teacher-student ratio and whether the high tuition is worth it. In schools, it is important to avoid teachers being indifferent or insufficient in number, as it can negatively affect the children.
