Thank you so much for welcoming me! My nephew is in Marsiling Sec and from what i heard from him is that lockers mostly are available for those taking Sports CCA only.

Just to share, how do you cope if your child was punish in school for not having a textbook (the school bookshop books was out of stock since Dec 2011) and was made to copy every word of the textbook (example 2pages on the textbk) on a foolscap paper?

I'm kind of shock after all its only the 2nd lesson on that subject. Will appreciate any suggestions/feedback on this. :thankyou:

Did you try getting the book elsewhere, like from Popular Bookstore?
Or is the book, perhaps a literature text, that is only available in the school bookshop? If it is the latter, you can always write a letter to the teacher to explain the situation.

Personally, I think it is good that the teacher is firm with the students right from the start. A disciplined class has fewer distractions from disruptive students. Of course, as parents or guardians, our hearts may ache lah!

Thank you for your feedback. Yes indeed the book is only available in the school. We did search high & low in the local book stores and Popular but to no avail. I had emailed the teacher based on your feedback and she reply that, she did punish my nephew just so that he wont missed out on the lessons. I do understand teacher's need to be firm but they also need to be fair as well. Hopefully the books will arrive soon. Keeping my fingers crossed. :xedfingers:

I will not mind if punishment are not excessive and level of which are appropriate. Write 2 pages of text ok lah. After all, we are already in the 3rd week of school term, cannot still give excuse that the textbk is not available in the bookshop. You can always get it from outside of school at bookshops. The teacher also need to set some discipline standard in the beginning. But if it become a norm, then either there is something wrong with teacher :siao: or your nephew will need some help.

The school has inform us to get all our books from the school bookshop which was confirm by the general office as well (when i called in to check) as to avoid getting the wrong book. My elder sister has already made full payment to the school bookshop for the books and its a waiting period not just for us but also other parents as well. Thanks for the advice. Really appreciate it :rahrah:

Hehehe! Cool... i'm more concern about how he is going thru sec 1 life is indeed an eye opener compare to primary sch life.... and turning into a teenage boy real soon.I hope He is adapting well in school with the books that weight a ton...

Ahh...so your nephew is in sec 1 too. Welcome to this thread. We're all here to learn from one another and at times, to de-stress as well.
Care to share with us which school your nephew is in? Doesn't his school have lockers so that he does not need to lug his heavy books to and fro?
