oh thank goodness I didn't put DS there.. it's within 1km, vs PH under Phase 2A2.. if not i will go crazy with so much HW.. how to have time for anything else?!?

True, so true. Liddat where got time for piano practice, swimming and tt (oops I mean ping pong)? What about time for family bonding?

Quality not quantity .... :rotflmao:
Seriously, if you do teach your ds .. that can also be a good bonding time.

Talking about homework, my colleague has been complaining to me that her dds who study at a neighborhood school have lots of homework EVERYDAY. Her P4 dd’s homework yesterday: 10 pages of 习字, 2 thick stacks of Maths, 1 stack of Science worksheet and 10 over pages of English worksheet. And this happens almost every day. Even her P1 dd has tons of homework (Her home yesterday: 13 pages of 汉语拼音 worksheet plus 5 pages of English worksheet ). The girls have been working till 10+ almost every night since school reopen. And she always envies me when I told her my dd has no homework (at P1 and P2).

My P4 girl also has significant more homework this year. She has been spending an avg 3-4 hours each day to do homework. At times, she works beyond 8 pm. :roll:

I have been hearing HW HW HW ... :!: really no joke.
I guess only the P1/P2 still have a bit of enjoyment.

Now I so busy looking at the Mind Stretcher link where got time to make fun of you.

Anyway I only joke with pple I'm comfortable mah. :lol:

Is Mind Stretcher really better than TLL? I thought TLL has been so sought after all along (though my DD is not in TLL). Do you know which subjects they are stronger at? English, Maths or Science? Thanks.

Generally speaking they teach advance in all the above subjects. So it depends on parents. If you are good at Maths, you might want to do it yourself. For English, I always believe that classroom dynamics help. For Science, my dd still in P2, but I heard quite hard to do the teach ourselves.

I signed the form about Choir $120 payment method yesterday, and was informed after the term2, Choir change from every Monday to every Mon & Wed per week. that is why my dd has no chance and it is impossible to attend any other CCA, exp GB.

Huh? Choir will become twice weekly? Wow are they training for some competition? Twice a week is very time consuming, isn't it?

yes, it is! twice a week... :stupid: i have to sign to accept it... :|[/quote]Next year SYF (Singapore Youth Festival) competition is Primary School turn. They alternate with the Secondary sch .. I think. So from Term 2 or 3 they will start preparing for SYF till Apr next year.

Can I ask all the KSPs here some questions?

1) How involved are your spouse in your children's school work and education?
2) How much do you expect your spouse to be involved?
3) Do you get upset if they are not as involved as you would like them to be?

:thankyou:
