      P1 still baby meh... 😐

      Heh heh heh.. just kidding lar.
      Our children will always be our baby.
      But we dun hafta \"baby\" them so that
      they can grow up more independent...
      Just read how many babies told their
      parents to shoo away from 1st day
      onwards. 😛

      My DD1 covered her face in some of
      the shots hubs took. She said, \"Stop
      taking pictures of me!\" :lol:

                This is because once the parents are in there...the children will \"manja\" and sometimes start to cry. Also, the school wants the kids to explore with the buddy and if parents come in, the buddy will have to \"靠边站\".

                It would really be chaotic. Allowing parents to watch from outside the barricade is to give the parents the assurance that their children are doing fine.

                I am not sure about your school, but if the canteen tables are labelled with the class, the parents can eventually spot their kids.

                  Same loh, the recess I also just conduct \"Supervision\" behind the barricades on my child. Strictly out of bounds to all parents.


                  I guess have to let go let them swim on thier own. Wonder 30 minutes where 240 go for recess enough time to quene up, buy food & eat?

                    Parents can only drop children outside the school gate. My galfriend whose dd started P1 last year, did not bother taking leave bcos of such strict rules

                        kaitlynangelica,

                        Your girl’s school does not have the buddy system ? Yes I think it will be overwhelming to find the classroom herself.

                        Tamarind,

                        buddy system is only for recess time. I heard that RGPS has prefects at the gate to bring them in. I think that should be the way. I am actually quite pissed. They can’t expect the gals all to be so independent. Mine certainly is not. She is fine when we drop her off at class.

                        So is it normal that the child will feel scared to walk up the stairs, make a turn and find the classroom herself?
