Not only academic stuff, cca stuff or sports competitions, parents or kids equally ultra competitive and hush hush about where they train, how many times they train, which competitions they went to, which star coach they consulted .....isn’t it true human by nature is selfish lol....

Yes, so selfish !

I once asked a fellow school mate P6 parent, for the private tuition Tr telephone number. The parent refused to give me the phone number of this private tutor.

Instead, she asked me what questions do i have for this tutor, she said she can help me to convey messages & qn across. I told her for my child's weakness in subject content : i need to speak to the tutor personally, can't be going through her, qn by qn, right ?
She know and understand the situation, yet she simply refused to give me the tutor's phone number. Very selfish !

(now that dsa over, Psle over, don't mind tell u all these)

I think i got an answer for why they behave this way. Got pple once tell me before they don't want to be held liable later on to be blamed for, if the things they recommended doesn't come to expectations. But I think its a crap reason. Who will blame them for sharing rite?

[quote=peasants post_id=1951591 time=1575521866 user_id=75885]Talk about humanity. Once, we met one of the parent at popular book store, who is also active primary school volunteer. So we casually ask her what assessment books she buying, then she quickly cover the title of the books she is holding and change subject. Ok lor.

It happens even at workplace........ colleagues who are always secretive over everything..... be it work or non-work related..... sucks....

These days, it's often considered stupid if you choose to mentor your junior workers.[/quote]But you cannot dont mentor juniors mah..

Last time got one posting about one Chinese tuition centre, by a few parents newly created new ksp account, concurrently often praising this centre. That one, I don't quite believe that they are real genuine parents

That's why I am wary of recommending tutor on forum or chat group. But if come to me one-on-one, I will be most happy to help.

What to do? Guess that’s human nature.

Same batch taking the same PSLE exam, there will be some kind of 利益冲突. The same batch of kids will fit the same psle curve!! Tscore is used to rank one kid amongst his cohort.

I guess it’s easier for the seniors to pass down notes to juniors.

I was lucky. I got to know very good piano tr through knowing a mum here. But only after the other mum knows and empathise with my situation then.

That mum got to know the tr through another parent here too. She was trying to pay it forward when she shared w me.

Yup, so normally they take pictures of their notes. Instead of letting people bring home. Also wont want to bring home people’s notes, what if the dog ate it together with the slippers? So take photo.

I think my kid did her notes on word, so if her friends want it, she would just email them (or Google doc share), without the risk of losing her notes or not getting the notes back after lending it to friends.
