Collinsville & Scottville Kindergarten

General impression was that the teachers struggled and relied on an awkward non involved officiousness tinged with thoughtlessness to smudge not being much good.

A style that wont be apologising for their thoughtlessly stupid mistake style abuse. They did spread confusion to get themselves more money.

Just read the QLD state requirements re reporting abuse of children by other children at schools and kindergartens and they were closer to fostering abuse and a long way from the regulations. Probably good that there are some new teachers there after that year was so bad.

The C&K Scotville kindergarten education experience started with weeks of children screaming and screaming out endlessly to their parents that they didn't want to go to kindergarten(this was the same group of children that were partying most days at playgroup). There were reports of horrible behavior amongst the children when the teachers were out of sight. A. mentioned that the older ones would isolate and abuse the others(burning, fights, mental abuse, head injuries were reported). Low respect for children's rights seemed usual and accepted. Other people had said that the kindergarten normal is learning who you can pick on and similar group survival skills and earlier years just seemed to learn how to be horrible. As a parent it was mostly a battle to avoid problems(here the teachers had a tendency to not reply or assist) and then fighting for her right for healthiness until we cancelled enrollment. Within a few days she was happy and singing.

A. said that the teachers weren't much use and generally the parents do better at managing their own children. Two teachers mentioned they had problem children. The teachers themselves said that they couldn't form a functional relationship with a child and couldn't be bothered. An internet check on what would usually be behind such teacher behavior problems suggested a racial, multilingual problem. The long list of usual useful ideas, such as make the effort to help each child, sent to the teachers received a silence.

Social climate similar to most places in Australia and like most people have said about the town. e.g. struggle to get people involved, awkwardly argumentative and the kindergarten similarly struggled to make quota and typically had only a few to most events. Like most places in Australia the violent, aggressive etc percent near 20-30%(generally seem behind the play or alcoholic, awkward aggression style), friendly etc near 15-30 %, obese, alcoholic, non involved a big feature.

Teachers wouldn't provide any information or assistance when there were problems amongst children. When the igor style person in the shops started abusing A. for not doing anything and then the teachers followed suit without considering their own lack of ability a horror movie character check suggested near 60%, more likely than not. Confirmed on numerous occasions for example within a few days of cancelling enrollment there was a motorbike attack on the baby at a park and a dill of a drunk attack while walking at night.

The C&K education experience year finished with a teacher approaching A. outside her ballet class yelling with aggression rising as A. cowered against a wall whimpering and trying everything to hide from the hostility.

Tips:
-The main risk while at kindergarten are the teachers and other children. As with any tradies, workers etc a general safety comment is you have to keep on them and checking to make sure it's a reasonable standard. The people at kindergarten are the same people so if for example most days at the start have problems check for other options. The hit them hard or from the other perspective survive their first attack and they might be friendly style or learning to survive under the endless meanness can be a useless experience.
-The older children are apparently usually meaner to the younger ones
-The violent, aggressive, sad children started attacking the others towards the end of the earlier playgroup year.
