I recall it was during those days when I was teaching in a Primary school... and the canteen people would give me lots of noodles for 50 cents because they said \"teacher teacher\"...

Another teacher .... :salute:
No wonder dd/ds all so smart.

come and think about it .. if all the good teachers .. \"retired\" to teach their kids .. what is left for our kids :?

I \"retired\" for the Corporate World which is so much more exciting especially with the regional role... :evil: :evil:

\"Retired\" only 2 months ago from Corporate World to spend more time with DD and focus on her studies... Who knows, I might get bored and go back again....

[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]Hi Parents,

Are you aware that kids in Pei Hwa do not have to pay for school fees ?
My daughter (studying in another school) has to.

Hi Trapwithin,
I was given 50 cents in primary school then...now a plate of nasi lemak costs $1. My daughter in P1 is enjoying buying her own food and tells me there is no need to prepare any snacks for her. I'm ok with that, but she has to drink plain water...and no soft drinks.
PS: I think I'm also giving away my age but can't hide...hitting 40 soon.

A bowl of noodles cost 20 to 30 cents back then.... :oops:

wow, this one more than 45.....[/quote]Sorry, not anywhere near that number.

Hi Periwinkle,

Our kids start supplementary lessons next week. Son told me memo will be given tomorrow.

Hi Janet, my dd still has not been issued chinese spelling and moxie and also Eng spelling lists. Dunno why? Did yr ds receive all d above?

She came back with the supp lesson memo today. Chinese on Tue and Math on Thur odd weeks. Science on Tue and Eng on Thur even weeks. 2pm to 3.30pm. Commencing next week.

So my dd wld only be reaching home at 2pm on Mon, Wed and Fri. Umm, hv a little more time on hand to do my own stuff.

He only knows what will be tested for 听写...no list. No 默写 either.
He has EL spelling list.

The words are:
1) receive 2) sympathise 3) friendliness 4) opportunities 5) advertisement 6) naive 7) successful usually 9) extremely 10) explain/explanation 11) a battery of tests 12) she paused and thought for a moment

:lol: My pocket money is also 50 cents in P1

Then we must be about the same age.

Time will be tighter then...got to finish homework, nap and some revision.

Hi Periwinklejoy - my son in Loyalty 8 received his Eng spelling today, to be tested on Fri; his Chinese mo-xie sentences and spelling words are those highlighted on the textbook - there is no separate list; to be tested next Tue. But my son said different classes could have spelling on different days, so maybe your gal's class will be having it much later?

[quote=\"JRLam\"]Ya, it is much more expensive to attend Pri sch nowadays compared to our time .. only $5/mth with no tuition, paid-CCA, $0.50 canteen food etc.

During my time, it is less than $5/mth. :oops: Am I giving away my age ... :rotflmao:

Yes I think you are... :rotflmao: :rotflmao: But.... I know what you are talking about too... OOOOPSSS!!! Did I also just give myself away? :oops:[/quote]Ya, I know cannot compare to last time (I am sure I m younger than most of u ) and I am usually not someone who gripes abt money.. .. but I was shocked cos my frens' children are also in 'elite' schools.. n they don have to pay at all for ccas.. their canteens charge only half PH's prices etc.. so it's quite a culture shock for me.. oh well.. :roll:

mrsbongz, I think both of us were mistaken. Today ds took back the spelling test which turned out to be a hypy test instead. I think the pg 5-8 refers to the chinese activity book rather than the textbook.


Last sun I actually revised the spelling with ds based on the textbook, all the while wondering how can PH expect P1 kids to write 汉字 so early in their education? So I scare myself for nothing

ya!! i also ask my son why he wrote down spelling when there isn't.. he mentioned that on Monday they did have 'spelling', but the teacher didn't mark it, but instead asked them to check if the answers r correct/ the same as hers... it was only in HYPY, n he showed me the chinese exercise book on Monday.. :? It's super confusing to receive information thru my 6 yr old boy... :roll: did u ask ur son if it was spelling on Monday?

He's asleep oredi. But I don't think I'll be able to elicit any useful information from him even if he's awake. The HYPY test that he did was dated tues - he brought it back cos parents must countersign - so according to your ds there should be another HYPY test on mon which was not returned.

Last time when I was studying my mum always tell me to make sure I don't return with an egg. In the same light, as long as ds thinks that he knows what is going on, I think I'll just accept the situation as it is.
