Castle House:
I think her intention is to help her kids DSA to top secondary schools in case they turn out to be not the studious kind. Another parent I met said that he sends his DS (I think in K2 now) to Ang Peng Siong Swimming school 3 times a week as he hopes to groom him to be a national competitor, which will help in DSA later. So this :yikes: phenomenon may become the norm next time, like tuition is the norm now.JGMum:
Maybe that's why SIL sent her 2 kids for \"enrichment\" in CCA when young - she got personal trainer and coach to train her kids in table-tennis and track-and-field, so they will be selected to join in the pri school's CCA (her kids represent their school in competitions), and then prepare them for DSA to good secondary schools based on sports ability. Not cheap, $300+ per month per kid for once a week lesson. I really :salute: her.
Why need to spend the $$ to send for enrichment in CCA? Is it going to be graded as well.. :?
For me, I just \"shun qi zi ran\" lor - I have limited budget for enrichment, so cannot really afford anyway. -

I registered my DD1 for violin lesson, to provide an anchor for her temperament, I was told by the administrator that she could use it to enter certain sec schools later on if her progress is good. I think it's used as selling point liao. I find this sad. -

abt enrichment, my kids have tried a few things before, mostly those trial classes, but only have piano for now. that's for ds1 and ds2. dd nothing yet, she's only 17mth.

oh btw, most Pr schools have swim class, either P2 or P3.
basic lessons for 1 term. but it was enough for my ds1 to learn swimming.
so i find that’s settled already, very happy. -
for those kids who are already good in swimming, the Pr schs' class divide the kids according to 3 levels.
cannot swim 1 lap of standard pool, can swim at least one lap, and those who have lifesaving skills or something
so if your kids are already good, don't worry, they won't be bored and will still learn something in the Pr sch swim program
