i just came back from my project discussion and after that, we talked about some issues pertaining to the wheelock school system... This evening, when i was having dinner, i overheard that the teacher was asking 2 gals whether Raihan could join them in their room for the rest of the stay at boston... so i wondered what happened...
so happen, i was working with samantha, peiling and raihan on one of the project and i asked her wat was going on... Apparently, her room mate ( the one that need to give birth the the 1st cohort and now joining back with the 2nd cohot) had her 1 yr plus child and the husband, flying over from singapore and joining her... and this family will be staying in the executive rooms for teachers... and poor raihan, will have to move out of her room and going through another transition because in wheelock policy, no student should be staying in the room themself. Raihan was very upset over this matter....
I asked peiling and samantha about their view of this situation and none of them agree on what the wheelock is doing.... everyone was like commenting that they can also bring or ask their live ones to come over... y must she be so special?? just becos she say that her child needs the mother and seperating with the child for 5 weeks is difficult? then she should have brough the child over on the day we took off... Although i m not in their shoes and i cannot say who is right and wrong, i personally feel that:
1) why is she given such special treatment?
2) is it really important that the child needs the mother so badly until the child will forget how the mother looks like if the child dun see her for 5 weeks?
3) wheelock should set their standards and follow wat they set and not give special treatment to others as and when they like.....
i know that not all people will disagree that wheelock should like raihan's roommate bring her whole family over... but i believe that most people will comment on how wheelock deals and handles with situations.....
