Just a little \"off-topic\". When I was going to fetch my boy, this Chinese security guard stopped and asked \"fetching?\", while lifting the gate barrier. Then he proceeded to tell me that \"Be Careful, the CHILDREN are walking around as they are leaving already. Then when I asked if the front gate was open (so I could drive out), he mistook my question and said that \"yes, the front gate was open (he was referring to the bus-stop gate), bc all the CHILDREN have been leaving since half an hour ago\".


I just thot it was so funny that our 13 to 18year olds were referred to as \"Children\" like in a primary school. *hehe*. Couldn't he just have said \"students\"???

Do you know why some mornings can turn into the school & come out from the the other gate but some mornings cannot turn in ?

I dunno. I never send my boy into the school. I only drive in in the evenings/afternoons. Usually by 6pm, they open the gate next to the RGPS exit gate (that shares the same road). During the day, usually that gate not open, I notice.

There was a pop quiz before CNY. The students had got back their results.

Results only announced today. Sorry, my boy clarified that this test is for \"Competition Math\". Have to use this test's results to apply for the Math Olympiad Training, I think.

So it's probably not a \"pop quiz\".
