ds complained he had no time to eat in school today :!: The canteen is always so so crowded and so many long Q. For once he join the q of chicken rice, when come to his turn, the last plate was just sold, and he has no time to join the other Q before his classmate ask him for project discussion. If it carry on like this, I wonder how is he going to survive there ? Feel school needs to do something about it .... do your ds face the same issue.

My DS also said so. Most of the time he will go for the one with shortest q, ie the one that is most NOT delicious.

Yesterday they had a session with the consortium director, there are people who feedback about EMBs being so lagged. Wonder if they'll do anything to speed it up.

pinky88, what you shared was for last year. The school has changed the assessment method this year. For OC, 40% from Oral Participation, 20% from EL Current Affairs, 20% from CL Current Affairs and 20% from AAP.
