Hi cantbearit2,


Hw's your DD doing at student care?

DH infd me that they changed the schedule, Chinese Enrichment is 8.30am instead of 9.50am. DD will miss it lah, bcos she still strolls in at 10am everyday. Cannot get up.

So far not much comment fr her (as usu, gif me a blank face each time I ask her, sigh )

But I believe the chinese enrich starts at 8.30am cos we r oso late each time. Usu ard 8.40am :oops: But guess u beat me in terms of lateness. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Did any of u watch the news recently? Saw the news last nite regarding these overcrowding probs on sch buses. Weren't they given ample time to plan their route and avoid such prob? There was 1 sch wif overcrowding prob due to last min arrangem of the bus route as 1 bus driver juz passed away. This I can accept cos it's was not expected. But there is no excuse for the rest. I juz hope that LTA will come down hard on these rules as I believe that safety shld not b compromised.

Aiya...Don't think they have planned properly!
Not sure if I have shared this b4, Day 1, driver couldn't find my block & alighted DD & aunty 3 blocks away! We spotted DD & ran towards them. They don't even do a trial run before day 1!

I checked with my girl, she said her classmates also got to go to Graditude class during Chinese lesson as she is not so good in HYPY. And there are students from Graditude coming over to my DD class.

Hi jesyeo,

Oh really?? Start splitting class already?? Very early this year. DD only split class beginning of Term 2 last year. How did the teachers assess the gals in such a such period? :scratchhead:

Good luck to your DD...hope she gets into Dance Club.

Yup. My DD said those that are not so good in HYPY will go to Graditude class. However, so far only applies to Chinese.

Thanks! Hope she will bring back good news tonight.

DD is known to be the late queen there!!! Really... sometimes as late as lunch time, bcos if DH needs to go to office 1st...she'll tag along & go in much later.

Aiyo, that bad??? :!:

On DD's first day, we saw some parents waiting wif us for their kiddo's sch bus as well. It was raining heavily but one silly sch bus driver actually stopped at a distance far away wif no shelter leaving the poor mother running to the bus, picked up the kid and both running towards the shelter. We were oso worried our DD's bus driver may not see the sheltered area but lucky for us, DD's bus driver stopped right at the sheltered area. Phew! We din need to run for our lives. :lol:

Tik DD's bus service is not operated under Chua Bus Svc, it is under the list of other bus services.

My gal 1st chinese lesson oredi told me, \"mommy, my classmates all know the HYPY coz they attended tuition! Only a few don't really know how to read, including myself!\" :lol: :lol: :lol:

And that gal whom the teacher asked her to go to another class.. was coz she didnt know how to read... tsk tsk. Today I asked her, so which page did your chinese teacher stop? She said she was already teaching until page 21! I was thinking to myself, tat's fast... Only week 2... :shock: :shock:

At least your DD still able to tell u teacher teach till which page. My DD have nothing to tell. Everythg I ask her, she shrugs her shoulder. Somemore nv bring back her books. Argh...!!!! :faint: :faint:

Slowly laa.. I think they r still adapting.. My gal is the opp. English text I never see it since Day 1. The chinese text is forever in her bag. :lol:[/quote]

Mine is the case where they squeeze 3 kids and no seat belts!

Hi all,

Hearing from some of you that the bus drivers are nice, it is truly an inconsistency of the bus service. Sad to say that we kena the lousy Bus 7 for Yishun!

Spoken to OM, Mr Chong, about this and past incidents of no aunty, no seat belts, girls moving around the bus. Even door open b4 the bus came into a complete stop & DD was seen walking towards the door!
He totally agreed with me that these are not acceptable by the school and will give them a stern warning. Hopefully, Chua Bus Services will wake up & be more consistent.

It is ridiculous that they took the excuse of LTA regulations of seat belts, bus assistants to increase bus fees. However, they did not enforce all the safety precautions at all! I even heard of some buses squeezed 3 kids on a 2 seater bench.

Anyway, last night DH pick up DD and it turned out to be quite ok. In fact, reached home 10 mins earlier despite they left sch after the buses. Mr Chong make it a point to meet DH & apologise to him in person.
