      It's the kindergarten & enrichment centres' workbooks/ Assessment.

      [quote=\"i3mum\"]It's those workbooks that the kids use in school, not the textbooks.

      [/quote]I think it's best to dump them since different kindys have their own workbooks and assessment. No point keeping, unless it's primary school textbook and you have younger kids.

          Problem is when son finishes assessment book, I throw it away...don't want to accumulate as it takes up space.

            Every Dec, I chuck all assessment books, papers away.


            For textbooks, I keep what could be needed (eg for friends, nephews etc) and chuck the rest away.

              I keep son's Eng and Chinese textbooks for younger child. Assessment books if just few pages done, I'll pass to younger nephews or friends (1 year younger than my son). No point keeping since syllabus will change by the time my daughter can use.

                  As far as I know, some garang guni collects old assessment books n papers. My mum said her neighbor recently sold 1 big stack to their regular garang guni.

                      one year’s text book, activity books, guide book, assessments, other school’s exam papers … all made a big pile of papers in the room


                      can’t possible accumulate them

                      kept the P3 - P6 stuff till PSLE is over for revision purpose, then selected some P5/P6 books for keep sake (nostalgic reason) and the rest were sold with the old newspapers lah …

                        Precisely. Why keep assessment books when they are done ?
                        With no maid, I lay my table with newspapers...easier to throw and clean table also...so no old newspapers to sell to garang kuni.

                        I'm also keeping son's Eng textbooks (since no more textbooks now for lower pri)...P3/4 Science textbooks/reference books, compo reference books.
