Got the 听写list today. Surprise to see most of the words are Han yu pinyin.
Alot of Sporean kids have lost interest in Chinese. Throughout these yrs, MOE has \"lower\" the standard. Currently, Text is more simplified and colorful. -
Hav all parents received the spelling list? I tried to upload it but failed. If u need it , PM me and I can email it to u.

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...My daughter goes to Pro-teach after school.

My son told me if they can’t finish homework, there won’t be enough time to allocate for napping? I seriously think it’s not good to keep in that kind of posture to rest even though I don’t think my son will take napping in school?

I believe nap time is the least priority for the student care. Bearing in mind that kids at P1 and P2 level then to be playful still and may drag the lunch period, they may end up starting to do their homework/spelling late. Not sure of other parents, but I recall reading somewhere that their main priority is to ensure the kids complete the homework at the student care. They will not ensure the work is correct… but will ensure the work is completed.
In short… they will first ensure the kids have proper lunch (else parents will attack them for not allowing their kids to have proper lunch… hahahahah)… then complete homework… then nap (aka inner peace) if time permits… followed by the ProTeach i-learning programme, etc.
My guess is perhaps since there is very little time left, the teacher allows the kids to simply rest their head on the table for a short while.
I was also told by the proteach staff that they may consider sending back the sleeping bags once a month instead of every 2 weeks if the kids don get to use the sleeping bags often due to insufficient time for nap.
For me… my kids are used to not napping while they are in childcare… usually they will juz lie down and rest. So I’m ok with no nap. I’m more particular about no showering… coz they always stink when I fetch them in the evening… HAHAHAHHAHAHA
