I am seriously very tempted to do that although it will be unsightly. What if the ink runs? He will not mind 'paying' for the shirt in order to placate me. But that will not make me less angry. :x
To avoid this in future, maybe you can write your son's name inside his shirt so that if it's taken by mistake, the person knows who to return it to ? In the meantime, tell your son he has to pay for the replacement shirt.

So, it's really a common occurance? Perhaps, it's a gender thingy? sigh...
My DW has been complaining about this for the last 2 years. My son will either bring back other boys' t-shirts, shirts, ties, extra text books, worksheets, calculators, etc. A check with other parents and it since to be very normal. The boys will be able to sort out themselves after sometime but there are cases where they cannot get back their own stuff. My DW has the same thoughts as yours and she get the same feedback as yours from my DS. My DS told me that their schedule is quite pack and have to ensure they have to be fast to maximise their time to learn more. sigh...
I can accept it if it happens to primary school kids, but to Sec3s!! :shock: :?
Ok,ok..I'll try not to sweat the '$MALL $tuff'. Maybe, men are created not to be petty about such things. -

Get fabric pens. They won't run and won't get washed off.

My wife and I also had concerns on the time-consuming travel to Yishun for this CCA. On months when there are shooting competitions, we were told the boys can be expected to train 4 to 5 times weekly. On other months, the weekly training frequency is 3 to 4 times .[/quote]
Wondering which core cca is less time-consuming… -
Is raffles voices, the choir, less time consuming? Is the drop out rate low ie do most members stick with it over 4 years?

Erm, when I fetched my daughter from school one day when she was in sec 3, I heard her friend call her - asking .... \"did you wear my pinafore by mistake?!\". Oops! haha. So, no, it's not a gender thing. But luckily she's NEVER lost any parts of her uniform.

Hi I was just wondering…
1)Other than O lvl, A lvl and ESP notes, would topics taught in the Galileo Prog. help towards preparing for the RA bio and chem selection test.
2)Another concern is that i have not participated in any sci competitions and I will not be taking up a sci re proj. either. (i am not frm sci club. But i do attend the ESP prog.) Will this adversely affect my portfolio? Will this greatly reduce my chance of getting into the RAs? and is there anything I can do about it now? -

My son spent 4 yrs in RI and he never had any problem with his uniforms getting mixed-up. There was only one incident of him leaving his hp and wallet in his pants when he went for pe and they were stolen and were never found.

verykiasu2010:
on the initial list of 9[/quote] can we assume that for all optional trials, selection has been done and the respective students have been informed if they are selected? No news means bad news?
Your son was interested? I guess Yishun can be a distance if you don't stay near there.jtoh:
