Mee Toh

Sent DD to school, was greeted by a upper primary student and offered to bring DD to the hall. He said parents were not allowed into hall. Well, grown up in Singapore, always follow the law. But later realised many parents were in the hall too. So i joined the crowd. The principle was going through some info on parent’s file and student handbook. Missed out quite a bit; just wondering why these were not briefed on orientation day?


Wait till 3pm for recess, DD was having vegetarian food. Was destinated to be seated on a different table from the rest of her classmates. Teacher was at there just for less than a minute, the rest of the time with the whole class at their table. Poor DD, together with 2 other classmates at the vegetarian table cared for themselves.

The bell ranged after 20 minutes, Food not finished, food and drink container not cleared, she dropped everything and started to search around for her class to line up. I was staring from far. So sad to see her so lost. Sigh…didn’t know its going to be like this. If i know, i won’t opt for vegetarian food.

Tough competition to register in the school.
Tough competition continues in the school.

I heard from one of my students that next year, they will change the P1/2 to morning session. Any parent heard of this?

Hi mrswongtuition,


Tough competition even in P1 and P2?

My DS in P1 next year and there’s no news on changing P1/P2 to morning session. If all change to am will be much better, isn’t it?

Hi Mom74,

My DD will be in P1 next yr too. I spoke to one of the teachers during registeration, she said target to go single session in 2014 (target only, not cfm yet). So for our children, P1 & P2 still pm session.

Yes, the tough competition starts from Day 1.
Parents are really KS, even 'comparing' tutors and how many tuition classes other kids go to. A chat with a few parents with kids from Mee Toh revealed that the kids who do well in class have tuition right from P1, some even earlier.

In fact, competition is so intense that I have parents asking me to start a P1 preparatory class for their kids: http://mwtuition.blogspot.com/2010/08/p1-preparatory-class-for-p1-2011.html

And they do rank the children according to class position in the report book. The children themselves will compare to see who is top of the class and who is not.

Honestly, I have a few students under me who have financial difficulties. However, no matter what, the parents still want to send their child to tuition. They pay tuition fees lesson by lesson. They are under FAS.

Clarified with my student's mum - my student read the notice given to them wrongly. It only informed them that extensions to the school building will be made to accomodate all the P1s and P2s in morning session. Targetted by 2014.
