&lt;p&gt;It's only 1 copy of contract that she signed. When I saw her
contract, I think is bull-shit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The company only know how to fulfill the part on collecting a
min of $2000 incurred&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;during the training. And I asked her what kind of training did
the company provide,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and she told me that the company did not trained her much at
all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i really not very sure.. u should advise her to seek help from
ppl who knows how to deal with this.. maybe free legal aids or
MOM.. maybe tmr more ppl can post here to advise..&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Go to this type of "enrichment" centre at young age also
useless.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once you enter the Singapore public education system, also
brainwashed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mainstream media itself also brainwashes the population to
follow PAP dictates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is needed is a free and independent media industry to
stimulate thinking and launching of programs to train critical and
analytical skills in secondary schools.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These parents also easily hoodwinked by propaganda put out by
these enrichment centres.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the mainstream media had created a critical environment for
the people, the parents would be more shrewd.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now all state propaganda.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everything good.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everything follow PAP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everything sing the praises of state.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Oh, I would like to add on, whoever like to know which
enrichment school, can drop me a msg. Btw, this company really
despicable. My friend wanted to resign from this company and was
told that she had to pay a compensation of min.$2000 for not being
able to fulfill a year contract. What's more, she was there for
less than two months! She saw the truth of the company, that's why
she wanted to leave because she was unable to lie to those parents
for she did not received any proper training from certified
instructor. She told me that when she signed the contract with
them, the contract stated that there will be training in form of
thoery, practices, hands-on, on-the-job training from the certified
instructors from japan or the professor from japan or even his
representatives or the school principal. But none of the items were
fulfilled by the company and she was forced to take someone else's
classes who left without a word. And was told that this is
on-the-job training! Ridiculous right? And now wanted her to pay
compensation! Really felt sorry for my friend.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I know that child development nowadays is very important. Many
parents want their children to do well in school and grow up to be
a better person. Not only that, many parents want to give the best
for their children in this 21st century because I know that in
Singapore not many families are willing to give birth to more than
3 children and some families have a max. of 2 children. Because of
this, some people make use of this and do business in the field of
nurturing and educating the young ones. Stating that they want to
help in nurturing the children into geniuses of the future. Why am
I bringing this up because one of my friend who&amp;nbsp;worked in S.M.
(can't put the name here) told me that the instructors were not
certified instructors like the company advertised in
advertisements. And some were not even trained properly before
teaching the children, for example: one of the instructor was there
for less than 2 weeks and were made to teach, even though not
properly trained! And worst of all, that instructor cannot tell
those parents that he/she is new and barely receive any trainings!
When I heard that, I was very angry that there are such company
making money like that. Another example was: the company do not
have enough instructors and they still asked parents for advance
booking fees of something like $300+ during a seminar by their
principal! It is ridiculous! The classes still unable to start even
though those parents paid $300+! Why I posted this in this forum
because I just wanted to to let people know that there are such
despicable company. They do exist. Just want to tell people that be
careful when you sign up for anything. Do some checking of their
backgrounds and do some observations of your own. Such enrichment
classes are very busy during weekends but some parents do complains
during weekdays and normally complain at their headquarter, maybe
best to look around for certain period and ask around when you are
there. Best not to ask those counter service assistants (cause they
tends to psycho you), best to ask those parents around there and
so-called teachers.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
