Have your kids’ schools resumed CCAs in school yet? I wonder why it’s taking so long for sports and other CCAs to resume group activities. It’s been at least 1.5 months with no new cases of students being infected.[/quote]

but why the urgency in CCA resumption?
It's going to be school holiday and then probably prep for exams and then the major exams...surely it's not worth risking.

actually I m not looking forward for resumption of CCA but elder kid just started last week on face to face. I m so kiasi, piano, tuitions all stopped…sure 1 side of me thinking all past money wasted, their progress affected…I m sure it will affect them academically…but the other side of me thinking all these not important…maybe in near future need explore online tuitions etc but this year since no national exam just let it be ba.

Not urgent urgent lah. Of course can wait. Just tough on an extroverted kid. With all the crowds in malls and eateries, plus tuition & enrichment centers all doing F2F already, I just wonder why schools are so slow to follow.

Get an ereader. Then can still borrow from NLB and have variety for her. Or can also buy if cannot wait for the latest and greatest releases. Borrowing is more economical also la. And can do from home, no need to go to the library.
