      E learning make working mum busy
      Must print own notes or go center collect learning packs
      the “ upsetting “ part is most centers did not give options - to let kids temp stop n tuition fees did not cut a lot - I feel should reduce at least 40% , ideal is 50 to me . But most center reduce like 20% only ...
      Yes, at least there should be 40% to 50% discount for e-learning plus an option to opt out. My P2 is blur like Sotong how to e-learn.

      Many are still keeping quiet about it. You don’t ask then they just pretend.

      I am still waiting for Writers at Work to get back!

        Agree, paying full fees to be a guinea pig? (an overhead comment)... My secondary school kid (this week) did a dry run of (some kinda) webex (Microsoft) with school teachers... Laptops, computers & mobile phones all experience lag (sound quality + volume were fine). Older kids know how to resolve/ overcome the tech issues themselves, still not so bad... Younger ones are a headache, especially when no trial practice.

              - SYF is cancelled (previously suspended until further notice)

                the critical students are the ones graduating from Psle / O-level / A-level, this year.

                Since after school activities are
                cancelled in Term 2, better for these students, as they can now have more time to concentrate & prepare for National exam.

                SYF prep is very time consuming. Relief !

                      Act according to situation

                      If virus worsen, increase the dosage of HBL, per week
