I agree with PRmummy. It's impt dat kids still be kids in d midst of preparing for exams n learning. I cannot imagine a Sch tr will be so inhumane as to give hmwk that's impossible to complete. Cld it due to mismanagement of time dat a kid has to do hmwk till past midnite?


As for extra lessons at 6.30am or till 4pm, I feel as parents we can choose not to attend. Am sure trs will not force. Many times it's d parents who r afraid of losing out n go wif d flow. I am very sure I will not let my boy go for d 6.30am class even if it means he may lose out to his peers. parents do hv d power to decide wat kind of childhood u want for ur kid n partner wif d Sch to ensure dat our kids experience d best Sch life possible.

heard that kid will be penalised for missing it

The 630am - 4pm for P6 is a daily affair for the whole year?

Wonder how those who stay far away get there on time?

Ghees,



Your child also in/going to Rulang?

Hi,

I'm thinking if I would send my child to Rulang cos I'm staying near the school. But if I were to send my child there I would have to volunteer myself in the PV to advance her chances during the registration, cos neither my hub or myself is a student there.

OIC...

May be you can continue to collect as much info as possible before you decide and compare your options. Before you make up your mind, you might want to apply for the PV at Rulang first so as not to miss the deadline.. but I suppose your child is not due for registration next year... so you still have ample research time..

Hi,


After reading all u parents posts, I want to mention the followings:

1. Mindless drilling may still be useful in the stage of Primary School. However, once your kids go to those top Sec Sch, I don’t think it still can work. The top Sec Sch requires more sensible and wide thinking. Most of the questions and project require creative ideas. No more models in Maths. No more oral notes given. They require your own expression and personal thinking. How those mindless drilled students can face those changes?

2. As I know, most of the P6 Rulang students still got personal tution after 4 pm. Some of them cried after they lose their voice. But the teachers still asked them to continue to recite the oral notes on Wednesday (the day before the PSLE Oral Exam). I really feel sorry for the students. The parents really save money? I really want to know how many students will get in top rank in PSLE this year.

Hope the school be kind to the students, learning is life long. The teacher shd tell the students the concept of each new topic clearly. Then, teach them how to apply in daily life through the questions and paper. Then, learning is fun and more practical. thnks.

Eh

sorry, that is not what it meant to be,totally unintended

I used to stay next to the school. over the years heard so many good things about them, and it remains as what I heard

I moved away way way before we ever contemplate what school to go to. and later some friends become teachers there, told us the pressure they get to \"maintain\" the performance of the PSLE kids.....later personal encounter with some as I mentioned before

Don't be mistaken, I am just ONE person and it remains as just ONE person's comment and observation

To the large majority out there, Rulang is a die-die must get in type of school. So, please DO NOT be deterred nor dampened by what i post here.

One man's meat is another's poison.

ALSO HEARD, the teachers find certain text books not so good, so decided to give her / his own notes. BUT they expect the students to TAKE NOTES (like u did in uni lecture)......poor kids, since when are they taught to take notes.....don't know what they missed.....at this age, the school should just print the notes for them, if it is the good intention to supplement the 'lousy' text. And if the school thinks the text is no good, then change it......
