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 ...

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.

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 !

“We are also conscious that moving to home-based learning will have impact on many parents and families, especially those without good home support. Hence, we want to progressively introduce home-based learning, so as to allow both our students and parents to be better prepared should the situation call for more days of home-based learning,” said the ministry.
