Tankee,

Middle last week, there was an announcement at end of recess that students have to revert to wearing school uniforms on non PE days. Not sure if you child inform you already.

Yes he did. Thanks.

How do you rate the marking scheme of your child's teacher? Are they penalized for the slightest irregular handwriting, eg capitalisation, punctuation in spelling? Hence the entire answer is considered wrong? :?

[Joy]

Yes, cos it meant to train the kids.

While I understand it is for the good of the children, I do find it kind of harsh and worry that it might have negative effects on the child's confidence. Are they taught in the first place? How effective is this Stellar program?

Anyway, I have started to do go through punctuations and grammar with my DS to supplement what he learnt in school.

yeah i do agree tat it’s for the gd of the kids… better to train fm young… but like tankee, i find it’s a bit harsh lor. Despite my efforts to remind my child daily n more practices at hm, sometimes the worksheets returned still reflects same mistakes! sigh… maybe gotta learn it the hard way but very "sayang" lor…


oh ya, this fri is International Friendship Day. Did any of ur kids mention tat they hv to wear costumes?

[Lucky]

hi Googaga


Yes, my daughter did mentioned to me yesterday. But she told me no Chinese costume but costume on other nationalities. I was like :?

[tankee]

It was stated in the school term 2 letter. I don’t recall reading about no chinese costume part.


Is it ok to opt out and wear uniform that day?

[googaga]

hi lucky, geez… maybe cos CNY already wore chinese costume!!!


eh tankee, was thinking of opting out too but worry DS feels left out la… he’s quite excited when he told me abt it yest… but so hot and troublesome to put on costume kekeke

[Lucky]

That's my worry too.

But when I discussed with my DS, he told me \"Don't worry\" ... hopefully he really would not feels left out.
