A non academic question!:oops:


Is BGR a big distraction in school? There was a buzz among my son's primary school boys (currently in different secondary boys' schools) that their ex-classmate in NJC had gone out for \"4 dates with the same girl\" within months of starting Sec 1. There are probably similar cases in other schools too as kids nowadays are a lot more exposed than our time. My nephew is looking at NJC and my sister is a little concern..

Thanks.

ha..ha.. for boys maybe... cos there are more girls than boys mah...

Then dunno how he suddenly got ill.

Could it be the insect repellant in the air?

I am afraid of those spray type. Hard to control if a sudden gust of wind comes along.

These kids though sec 1 and 13 y.o can still be monkey on the loose at times. My elder boy got his finger scalded with a iron the other classmate was waving in the air.

The other day I saw a couple - HCI and MGS holding hands in a nearby shopping mall.

This is so common. HCI & RI also.

I can't say any BGR yet among my boys' friends. I know of some - but they are in JC level.

May be they started in P5/6 ... Saw NHSS BG holding hands at busstop and another occasion at Jurong point.

Singapore is already one of the countries with the lowest birth rates and we have to import people to make up the numbers and we are worried about BGR?


I think the lack of attention to proper guidance in BGR is the problem. It needn't be a distraction. In fact, in most civilised societies, BGR is a possible source of inspiration in all fields of human endeavour.

Consider this: suppose we declare a moratorium on BGR until after students have got a basic university degree. What do you think will happen?

I think low birth rate has nothing to do with whether we encourage BGR at whatever age. It's more of unwillingness to take on more responsibilities. My elder boy already declares he will not hv kids :lol:

let me guess... that moratorium would last maybe 24hrs? or until the next sunset? :rotflmao:

What’s the feedback from your child on the camp?


Mine: food & toilet facilities lousier than boarding sch. Activities were fun. If sleeping quarters were better (he’s scared of the crawlies on the wooden plank), he wld enjoy the camp more.

gal said it was ok...she was not afraid of crawlies but the toilets put her off...so she did not bathe...just rinse herself for that 2 days lor.. :!:


and she felt that boarding school was like a five star hotel now as compared to camp facilities... :roll:

He told me on those days they were at the camp, he saw a group of pri sch pupils at the camp too. They get to sleep inside the bldg n had better food. So envious :lol:
