Okay, now that you have started a full-on debate, please support your argument with facts and research. Why is it \"healthy for students to be given some homeworks.\"? Can you prove that, all other factors remaining the same, not having homework is detrimental/unhealthy for a child's growth and educational progress? Can you show us a child with involved parents, who did well in school, completed all school work properly, was not assigned any homework, and consequently did not do well in life?

I was not \"blaming the educational system\". I do not expect my child's teachers to be her parents. Nor was I refusing to \"work with the system, etc\". I was merely estimating the amount of academic work that children in Singapore schools do each day and I stated that, given the amount of parent-assigned after-school work that the kids do, there is no need for homework for most kids. So my post was specifically about the typical school-going child with involved parents, who either sign them up for tuition or purchase assessment books and popular school papers to be worked at home.

I'm extremely surprised to hear that there are still parents out there that are still living in the last century.

I respect the fact that people have different opinions. But comments like this is not necessary.

Hi All,


Will be sending my gal to Kellock next year. Initially I was half hearted, as she has 2 younger brothers and I cannot imagine going thru the whole P1 exercise again.

But now, I’m really looking forward to her starting school and embarking on another milestone in her life!

Hope to know more mummies from this school.

Cheers.

Welcome!
We are happy with the school so far. I hope your dd will have a good experience, too.

Anyway, with the priority for citizens, I think the P1 registration exercise has become a a more pleasant experience in the Tiong Bahru/Bukit Merah area. So hopefully your sons will get into a good school, too.

Hi Teapot
My gal will be entering Kellock next year too. Hopefully, she will adapt well to P1.
Do you have any idea when's the orientation?
