That is very mean if they are looking down on her! But maybe they are just busy with new friends? Kids tend to just hang out with those they see more. It's inevitable that they don't stay as close to those they see less often. My daughter had the same experience after Y2 and Y4 when everyone was redistributed according to subject combinations. Encourage your daughter to make stronger new friendships if the old ones are less strong now.
Precisely. That's what I think so too.starlight1968sg:

It is absolutely ok to remain in NA if your dd is comfortable with the learning pace
If she is in Express but suffers, what is the purpose?
No point going to express, suffer the fast pace and lose confidence. Right now, she is doing ok for English, math, borderline passing for history and geography. Have to work on her science tis holiday.
Some of her former classmates from p6 are ignoring her...so I advised her to forget about them as friends should not look down on others. I think that's the reason why she wants to go to express stream. -
MrsKiasu:
me wondering, actually what hourly rates will move you mommies to work arh? go out to office or work at comfort from home.
it is very difficult to return to the working force as my kids are at the age of mixing with the wrong company and younger one still needs me around although she is in sec 1. -
ammonite:
it is good to know..I heard from a long time no see friend that she gets $10/hr for her temp job (related to her profession) when she was in between jobs ..and I dont think she has stopped working for long time kinda thing. i was very surprised initially but then kept hearing that amount from another friend who owns a businessMrsKiasu:

I think it really depends on the whole package. Distance, time, nature of work, employer and personal interest. Are you considering some offers?

ammonite:
last i gathered from ksp around 17.50/hour. can go do cleaner job liao
I didn't take note, but remember it was unacceptable to me. But it also depends on what you are looking for.MrsKiasu:
what are the rates now, ammonite?
think the part time cleaner rate is more right
PT cleaner - is it 15 or 20 per hour now?

May I ask what field that temp job is?
Surprised because it is so low? -

MrsKiasu:
Data and clerical work does not pay much, unless it is related to legal work etc. Sometimes the field matters more than the nature of work.ammonite:
