[counterfeit.013396pi]

Language is an important skill. What about values ? The vendor was showing wrong values.

We should not tell children that this is minor as counterfeit is as good as cheating. Written to vendor several times, but no replied.

Vendor’s website, Fernvale Pri students consist of almost 70%.

Which values are you talking about? Values are taught to the kids by parents, not the vendor. Seriously, if u did not mention about this gift redemption, I have long forgotten about this. I just remembered that my kids did mention about the gift redemption once but I do not place much emphasis about it. I do not want my kids to spend too much time on the computer.


I prefer them to read Chinese books to brush up their language. As I do not let them play the quizzes often, they also stop mentioning about redemption of gifts, or bug me to let them play the quizzes. They also forget about the redemption of gifts as time passes.

By the way, you keep mentioning counterfeit prizes. Why do you even expect the vendor to give the "real" Sanrio products? A lot of such products are sold in shops or online at lower prices, and it is very common in Singapore. The real Sanrio items sold in departmental store are so much more expensive.

First of all, a child would not know what is the real Sanrio products unless the parents teaches them. However, u are placing so much emphasis on the gifts, you were unhappy that most of the gifts were taken down.

If the quizzes were played by the kids with the goal to improve the language and not on the redemption of the gifts, they would not feel cheated. They would not place so much emphasis on the redemption of gifts.

If we as parents do not place much emphasis on the redemption of gifts, the kids would do the same.

I do not understand why the etutor programme have redemption of gifts which is not healthy for learning Chinese, as the kids would be focused on accumulating points and redeeming gifts. Perhaps, they want more students to use their programme and show to the schools that their programme is good.

I find the real motive of the etutor programme for redemption of gifts is to get as many students to log on to their website and play the quizzes. Maybe they want to show to MOE that their programme is good, so that MOE can continue to use their services.

If u think such redemption of gifts in an online learning programme is not healthy for the kids, you can feedback to Fernvale Primary school or MOE. You can encourage like minded parents to do the same and feedback as well. MOE may change their mind on engaging their services, if there is a lot of feedback on this issue.

However, if u were to complain on the issue on vendor "cheating" and taking down the gifts which disappointed the kids. It will not be an issue to MOE but an issue to u only.

Frankly speaking, if parents do not allow their children to use the etutor programme frequently in the first place, the number of students using their programme would be low and probably MOE may not use their services in future.

Belated Happy New Year to all Kiasu Parents of FVPS!


I realised that I've not been posting for few months.... really needed a long (and well-deserved) break in December 2014 after working so hard together with the kids.

My elder DD is in P4 and younger DD P2 this year... more work ahead.

Let our kiasu powers combine!!!!!! :nunchuk:

Hellooo.....anyone there?....is this thread dead?.......all busy preparing for SA1??...... :imconstipated:

Hello ah bee,


Thread not really dead, just not active lah. What do u think of the p4 social studies? I find it quite ridiculous, it is like studying secondary school history subject. I don’t understand what is in the mind of the person who created the social studies book. I find it way too much for a 10 yr old kid, I even find it difficult myself.

Hi all, can parents share some insights and feedback of the school? Not so much so on academic, rather, whether the school has any interesting programs, like in the Arts, CCA, learning journeys? and the school environment and facilities?
