Alot of Sporean kids have lost interest in Chinese. Throughout these yrs, MOE has \"lower\" the standard. Currently, Text is more simplified and colorful.

School installed an indicator on the exterior. When the weather is unfavorable, the indicator will light up. During today’s morning assembly , Mrs Chong told the students to stay in-door when the indicator lighted up. Boy was curious and went to look for the indicator during recess time. He explained tat the indicator could be seen from the track and field "playground" which could be easily detected.

My daughter goes to Pro-teach after school. We were told to get a sleeping bag for her on the first day and were under the impression that the tables will be cleared during nap time and the kids would sleep on their sleeping bags on the floor.


However, I think after the first few days, the kids were told to sleep sitting, i.e., sitting on the chairs and leaning their heads on their arms on the tables. My girl told me she can’t sleep well like this. Napping this way will be bad for her posture in the long run, this is also bad for blood circulation and will cause pins and needles on the arms and the legs!

I wonder if other parents have issue with this?

Hi wfchaing, yes that's what my DD told me too! Yesterday they skip the nap time cos DD said 'teacher say no time'. I believe alot of time will be spent shifting the furniture around and moreover the nap time is too short(45 mins) to really fall asleep. They are spending more time revising their spelling and doing their homework i guess...
