Anyone has their kid started reading the textbooks?

Mine still addicted to watching Hongkong drama serial !

[quote]Do the teachers teach page by page or assume the pupils have come prepared for the lessons and so they teach at a fast speed?[/quote]I think should be some where in between. Anyway, I suspect they gonna finish Sec 1 & Sec 2 Maths in Year 1 bcos the booklist asks us to buy Sec 1 & 2 Maths book !!
[quote]I remembered during my JC time, this was the case. Very different from pri sch.[/quote]When you said \"this was the case\" means page by page or fast speed ?

My daughter (sec 4) gets S$20 a week. Might do the same for my son

I am also thinking this is the correct amount.

But then what is the cost of a noodle or rice in NJC canteen ?

What about Jennifer, Just Mama, noob & the rest here in NJC, can share how much you think is the appropriate amount ?

Thanks

I am adopting the wait and see approach. So starting with making him bring $5 to school. My boy does not eat much during breakfast and lunch (in pri sch,he brought only $2 and still had loose change).

I am topping up his ez-link and buying his stationery.

Since a few years back, I gave him a tub of coins and notes (think around $500 plus). He takes whatever he needs from there. So it should be a yearly allowance I am giving him which then works out to be around $10 per week.

We'll start with that first. I suspect, for my boy, might have to increase to around S$25 to S$30 a week bc he is a big eater. Can't tell from his size though!

My daughter's S$20 can even cover occasional class fund plus some purchases fr bkshop and she even manages to save. She doesn't eat quite much. And I doubt I would increase it now bc she has requested to bring bread/snack to school bc the holding school's canteen too small & crowded!

For the beginning part, wouldn't it be easier to monitor monthly (instead of yearly) ?

Think I'll start with $20 for my girl. She snacks a lot so not sure if this amount is enough. Since will be there on Monday, will check out food price at canteen and adjust if needed.

Re reading textbook & preparing for school --> Think i'm the worst, I have not gotten the uniform nor the books. Planning to buy all on Monday ... laziest mama

Btw, can confirm if year 1 uniform is different from the rest? Bibibaba said not diff at first then later said colour is diff.
