What The:

Still remember a while ago, we are doing countdown to the end of PSLE :rahrah:
countdown to end of PSLE.
countdown to PSLE results.
countdown to S1 posting.
the whole year doing nothing but counting down. we will only get to breathe easier on 21 dec and the mad rush to buy new books, uniforms before enjoying Christmas :faint: -
I saw a parent enquiring at popular bookshop without Sec 1 book list, asking which books are typically being used in Sec 1. From her 口音, I'm guessing she's a foreigner. Staff told her to wait for booklist. She insisted staff to point out to her the books to buy immediately. Could tell popular staff
liao. She persisted in getting an answer from popular staff.
Not sure what happen subsequently, I didn't stay to watch the whole episode
-
Just buy one of everything that is sec 1 related. Cannot go too wrong.

Maybe kiasu-ism at play ... she is trying to buy Sec 1 books to prepare her DC. Actually I also think school posting and booklist should really be out earlier, say early or mid-Dec so that things are not so rush during Xmas season. With technology in place and school selection being done online, it shouldn't take 1 month from the release of psle to the School posting results.I saw a parent enquiring at popular bookshop without Sec 1 book list, asking which books are typically being used in Sec 1.

Can't blame her. Maybe they are flying back to 老家 for > 1 mth to spend time with grandparents so need to buy first?

bought the shing lee math workbook...son's sec school also used that textbook...but we are still not in the mood to start.
psle scripts were marked last month...have to wait 1 month for results. then another 1 month for posting. really LONG. i do wish MOE can bring forward the posting results so that we can get the books & uniforms at least 1 week before christmas. really sian to spend the last 2 weeks of december on such madness before the new term begins. -
sleepy, next time when we see this got to remember tell them to check with kiasuparents
-
hubby reminded me next year sec 1...don't buy too many. 他老人痴呆 :slapshead: ...of course i won't buy. i step into popular because of checking out syllabus for his students.

It is so sad that sleeping late is considered as leading by example by many students and even teachers. I find it such a joke in secondary school that teachers go on and on about time management but know full well that time management actually equates to sleeping less. That is the reality of the sec school life in SG. And the more elite the school is, the more you have to be \"efficient in time management\" aka \"sleeping a lot less\".It is only possible to manage time when you have time to manage.
Given a choice, I would not allow my DD to come home that late too. Unfortunately, there will be occasions where you have to accept and deal with it.nms1:
I would not allow my daughter to be at a school event after 11pm however she is coming home. They are still 16 or under in secondary school and activities shouldn't continue that late. Teenagers still need 9 hours of sleep (although I know it is a lot less for most of them in reality).
As for coming home earlier than that on her own, I think she needs a bit more practice on the MRT first
DD was in a UG and they were hosting a campfire at school compound. They invited fellow UG members from other schools (as it is a practice to take turns to host campfires). The event officially ended at 10.30 pm but the host team had to stay on to clear up. It was past 11 pm when all was done. So DD had no choice but to call daddy to come and fetch her home. This happened only once a year when she was in Sec 3 and 4 as she has taken up a leadership position. Must 'lead by example' for the juniors right?
9 hours of :snooze: daily while in secondary school when one has so much going on? That's a luxury or the person is super efficient/discipline in time management... :evil:
But to be fair, I strongly suspect those teens who use their phones a lot less sleep a lot more. -
I agree, I wonder if my gal can still keep to her 9pm sleeptime next year in ngyh?
