Hi babybob111,

My dd brought back all her stuffs but she didn’t seem to enjoy the camping hahaaaa…She had fever and bad sore throat when she came back…luckily after taking medicine she is better today…

How do fellow parents here cope with the coaching stress?


Helping my dd prepare for tests is pretty stressful for me! She’s only in primary 2.

No choice .... Got to get use to it lor. But if u think that your dd is weak in any particular subject, then maybe your coaching shouldn't be only near exam but let her do weekly assessments..( if got time la ..)

I think for parents like us, we will feel stress when preparing kids for exams till they go secondary school ....

I am feeling very stress myself too. As I compare with other schools, I find that MBS' frequency is really too much to handle for a P2.

Thanks vlim and chasingjelly for responding.

May I know how many hours per day do you spend with your child on school-related work?

Besides school work, my dd takes weekly piano lessons and does some outside reading on her own. I try to give her some free time to play games (DS and iphone) and to watch tv. Don't think there's much time left for other things. I try to let her enjoy her childhood like I did when I was young.

Hi adbie,

I am a working mum, so I would spend about ± an hour or lesser with my dd to coach her in her work. She has English and chinese tuition and ballet lesson weekly. Most of the time she is able to handle her tuition homework herself. She need help more often with school maths homework. My dd loves watching tv. So recently told her that she is not allowed to watch tv prog till 5 pm. Prior to 5 pm I want her to do her school work or tuition homework or reading … At night I would try to plan to let her do things that need my coaching … Well sometimes things don’t go smoothly as what I plan as I still got to handle my elder boy and other stuffs…

I don’t sit with her to do school work. She handles those on her own as it is very much managable at this level. She does assessments (which I do sit down and coach) on weekdays mornings and Sunday is reserved for tutors’ homework (this I don’t sit with her). hth.

Hi parents of MBS,


I created an ID in KSP just to post this as I wanted to ask your opinion on the
following. As its raining heavily today, I personally walked my DS to school. To
my biggest surprise, I saw a guy distributing this (from city harvest church) to
students of MBS:

It was school dismissal time, raining and a lot of students were crossing the
traffic light to the block where the guy was. He was busy distributing and
telling the students \"This party is FREE! Come and join us.\"

Now, can such flyers be distributed outside a primary school?
