No lah, not taught at Science Buddies lah (actually ds1 dropped out after 1 term cos he seems to not understand or remember anything taught :faint: )...

Haha, my ds also can't remember what was taught.

But once in a while he'll surprise me by explaining science concepts like gravity or photosynthesis and then I'm so impressed I'll rush to renew for the next term.

My girl is not that bright bright kind and I have heard alot of reviews abt PHPSS academic demands. So was :scratchhead: if I am sending her to failure? This is too much stress for me too cos I do not want to become a tiger mother :rant: Maybe she will excel better in a standard school :rahrah:

Then you came to the right sch. PHPPS (not PHPSS) doesn't have CA/SA for P1 with only one SA2 at the tail end of P2, for the purpose of P3 streaming. If you're not too concerned about which P3 class your dd goes to, then she'll have 2 yrs of honeymoon. She's gonna love sch life.

Having said that, we know that overall PSLE std has been rising steadily over the yrs (that's why there was this petition thingy spearheaded by a mummy at the other thread). Most parents here do work closely with their kids in their educational journey.

But if you believe in letting nature take its course kind, we also have a club specially for that. It's called the L-F club and it's current chairperson is someone whose ballot paper was the last to be drawn all those yrs ago. I mean if you can have such luck, you can get away with being laissez-faire and yet groom a perfect dd who is a prefect, who represented sch in calligraphy, who won the national top prize in rhythmic gymnastics, who .... you get the picture rite? I present to you ...... applause pls ......

:rahrah: Funx3 :rahrah:

Bro Mark,
Thot many schools do without exams till SA2 for P2?

I do agree with you that academic is not everything. Need to look at overall development of kids. Kids who don't perform well academically may be excellent in sports and vice versa.

The fact that she's considering registrating her dd for a less stressful sch indicates that she's not KS like a typical parent, errr..... like me. So I thought she'll be interested in L-F club.

I can see that ds really enjoys the sch life; and I think part of the reason is that there's no CA/SA.

You know what they say. Nothing is easier than parting a fool - or in this case a parent - from his money.

After reading those words which I've highlighted, I'm even more convinced Mark is the best person to be ambassador :evil: , not just for P1 but for Pei Hwa (PHPPS).

It's very true that Pei Hwa is academic driven...since it's a SAP school. The good thing is parents learn what stress is at an early stage and how to cope with it...then with this experience, apply to younger kids when they go to P1. I'm no tiger mum but I believe in consistent revision from Day 1.

Some schools don't believe in 'hot-housing' till mid to upper primary levels. I don't like the idea of not having exams till end of P2 bcos some kids don't understand what it means to sit for an exam...they don't know they have to sit down to get the questions done without asking their partners...cannot talk during that period of time.

Hi Scary,


My girl is not that bright bright kind and I have heard alot of reviews abt PHPSS academic demands. So was :scratchhead: if I am sending her to failure? This is too much stress for me too cos I do not want to become a tiger mother :rant: Maybe she will excel better in a standard school :rahrah:

Hi, whether your dd is bright bright or not, that's not the point. Most importantly, you need to decide on a good school that will develop your dd holistically. PHPPS is a school that my dd1 enjoyed studying in. The kids are better disciplined. There are black sheep in every school but the black sheep in PHPPS are still pretty tamed. All the best for your registration next week. My dd is also a product of phase 2B. Her name was pulled out second last (slightly 'more heng' than sista Funx3's dd). Haha.
