My dd‘s Math and Science text book are the permanent residents at her classroom locker.
not used in class at all? :shock:
My DS also keep some textbooks in school locker, but the books are used in class during lesson. Keeping in locker helps to lighten the school bag. He only brings back the activity book for homework & revision. -

alamak, some parents from some schools got to buy two sets, one use in class, the other use at home, so as to reduce weight for the school bagBrenda10:

:rotflmao: Very cute description indeed.
at least my kid's text books and activity books are all well used, every cent worth it - no chance to recycle / pass it down -

why are all the gd schs mostly built in private estates? I really wonder...was driving down Bt Timah from my humble CCK hdb estate to town, all the gd schs are there...NYPS, RGPS. CHIJ OLQP, MGS & HPPS in Holland area etc etc. while CCK residents have to have fight for SVPS or DLS. And if balloted out which is highly likely...left with ???
While those in so called surrounded by gd schs, balloted out from 1, go into another gd sch.
CCK is relatively newer than say Bt Timah. These established schools have been around probably longer than the CCK HDB estate.
And there are GOOD schools that are in HDB areas, including CCK. -

:!: Really ah? I thought text books can be passed down to siblings.. -
Schools are essentially make up of Teachers, Students, Vendors, Principal etc regardless of the system.
If no two persons are alike, how can any two schools be the same? -
If all schools are the same…
Why does MOE still rank the schools by banding?
Why do they publish the schools of the top scorers?
Why do they give "awards" for academic excellence?
Fact is, they themselves created this madness by all that scoring & ranking.
& another thing is… SG is too small… In US, alot of kids hv to take long rides to school, sk they choose the nearest school. & if they want to move to a better neighbourhood with good schools, if may mean parents need to change jobs too, unlike here. -

because of markings on the books, those markings may not be relevant to the next usersverykiasu2010:

If Jim Roger can see a difference between the school he put his dd in (NYPS) and the rest with only his few years stay in sg, I really don’t see why we don’t.
Maybe that is why he is a billionaire and we are not? But then I don’t think it needs a billionaire to understand this. -
yup, the schools are the same, but not equal
or they are equal, but not the same -

Oops!!! Then same is not equal to equal or equal is not the same as same? :roll: :scratchhead:yup, the schools are the same, but not equal
