I agree, actually it's not about the nationality.. they may have the advantage for CL, our kids have different advantages too.. it's how the child 'trains' and also the child's capabilities.. these PRC parents don have other ways of joining schools like PH unless they are super lucky at balloting or the kids have really good results.. it's expected that they can do well i think..


For me, I m trying to strive for balance, i think that's more important that results. just striving to do better at work is not enough...There will always be someone out there that is better at achievements, but to be happy and content, well-brought up and conscientious person, that's much more impt.

Agree with U Totally.
Perhaps that's Why I've Become More L-F in other KS Parents Eyes ....

There R More to One's Life than Purely Study ....
That's Why I Encouraged My Gal and Boys to Diversify to Other Non-Academic Pursuits ....
Even Gaming is Acceptable to ME, As Long As it Does Not Affect their Studies ....

Like U Say - Just Want them to BE Happy and Contented, Well Brought up and Conscientious ....

Hi, can anyone advise how long it takes for Scholastic, UK to deliver their books to us? I ordered the Horrible Mega Pack on 27 Feb (Sunday) and DD is quite excited to receive those books.


Thank you.

You can emailed them to find out, they are pretty responsive.
For me, I hand carry them back. so do not know how long it takes for them to get here.

Nope, MAD as Mad Can Be ....
At Least for the 1st Year Or So ....
U Could Hear My Loud \"Teach-ing\" (On Reflections, More Like Vent-ing of Frustration) Reverberating thru the Whole HDB Block! KeKe ....
Really \"Xiao\" During those Days!

Luckily My Eldest Boy is A REAL GEM ....
He's HAPPY-GO-LUCKY, Really Lovable BOY :love: :love:
Took ALL My MAD-ness in Stride ....
During those Days, He's More the COOL as Cucumber Half than ME!
Ha Ha ....

Please don't feel this way. PH offers more than just exams, ya?

It can be viewed in a positive way...ie kids are taught to be resilient in the face of adversity from young...actually P1 classes should be named RESILIENT.

I think it is not just a PH problem. Chicken and egg issues again, I guess. I think, ultimately, we, as parents are the ones who can make the difference in our children's life. Its our principles that we have to stand firm on. [/quote]Children staying in different constituency of Singapore have different measures of success. According to a recent article, a child in Bukit Timah has diff 'grade' of success as compared to another staying in Tampines.
Like what you mentioned about principles, mine is no diff from any parent here...if we are going to have kids, then we have to do our part to make a difference in their lives...do our best to make sure they can go far in life.

I was with hubby at SNEC (eye centre) and there were some vendors selling health products there. Bought this packet of wolfberries for hubby. She advised me to put wolfberries (handful) when cooking rice...didn't do it often as it's heaty.
