Hi parents, May I ask is it better to buy the digital or print version of textbook? Is there anything that need not buy?

Personally speaking, I would prefer the print edition textbooks, but they can get real heavy to carry around. I'm old school, I guess... Does the school give an option? I'm surprised. I thought most schools have gone the way of digital copies.

Yes. My dd prefer printed copies as she can write her notes on it, plus they do have a locker each. This year, they only get their pld in term 3 for sec 1. Plus the rules are such that they can only use pld when teacher get them to. So maybe digital copies for home use. 🤷🏻‍️

The higher chinese matters, its a sap school. So AL6M is not confirm better than AL7D.
However top schools will have too many students apply to one seat. The school will either ballot and choose according to their requirements.

I chance upon this YouTube video on Taiwan famous girl high school 北一女. The closest forum I can think of to share on is NYGH.


北一女 prepares their girls to be 文武双全. Interesting fact: Apparently their dark green top uniform is for their safety. During civil war their dark green top will make them look like swaying trees to the bomber planes pilot in the sky.

For those keen in history, heritage and education:

My understanding is there is an official way of enrolling students. School will consider AL score first. AL6 students will be ahead of AL7 students. When it comes to balloting, if more than 1 students have same AL scores, then HCL grade will be considered next.

EJC just visited this school end of last year. The uniform thing wasn’t shared, maybe the students themselves are not even aware

I think the students know about the history. Maybe no one initiated talking about it.

Wah... such rich history. Method to madness :nunchuk:

But I think the correct thing to teach during a bomb raid is to hide under some tables somewhere, and not go running about pretending to be a tree...

Probably those girls were taught to dash for bomb shelter during raid while running towards bomb shelter those girls needed a way to camouflage themselves - looked like swaying trees from the sky when running.

Yes, this is MOE said rules but MOE also said it depends on the school itself. Schools will never reveal their real truth of requirements, same as all government agencies.
