Even though YOU didn't study in PH for P1, there's no doubt you are 'studying' again. :evil: I realized my daughter's workload has also increased this term...even though not a lot, but there is hw everyday on top of learning spelling/ting xie.
How's P1 in PH? I didn't study in PH for P1 leh. :scratchhead: Oh, you're referring to my ds, kekeke ........janet_lee88:
Hey Mark,
How's P1 in PH ?
I'm very curious. For eg, is there EL/CL spelling every week ?
Yes, there's still EL/CL spelling every week. But the lists are pretty simple so I guess that's ok. However, I do noticed that the workload per subject has risen a notch especially for CL. DS looks like enjoying his primary sch journey. That's the most impt thing. No doubt enthralled by retail therapy at the school bookshop.
She is enjoying daily retail therapy at bookshop...so much so I've threatened to cut off pocket money if she continues. The day before, it was 2 magnetic balls ($1.50)...a whistle yesterday for $1. Angry Birds notepad and stickers earlier :slapshead: -
Yes, I realised that for term 3, slightly more homework… I hear the same from my friends with kids in other schools… I guess the honeymoon is over, the teachers are increasing the intensity. tingxie has longer sentences too.
I restricted son to only $1 and provide him with snacks… still he manages to buy stuff fr the bookshop… to prevent letting me find out, he hides them in different parts of his bag… sigh… -

I always quote a line from 'High School Musical'...'holidays are over, people' !!! Always reminding daughter she is no longer in kindergarten.Yes, I realised that for term 3, slightly more homework..

Where school retail therapy is concerned, my daughter cannot hide from me bcos she is excited to show her purchases :faint: I advise her to save up the money...advice always falls on deaf ears. -
All the best to those balloting today! :rahrah: :rahrah: Thinking of my experience still gives me tenterhooks, hair-raising feeling. :nailbite: I was 7mth pregnant when I went for balloting then! I think my blood pressure went up a notch!

Fortunately you didn't get premature labour pain from the stress of waiting for your name to be picked.
That experience of balloting will be an unforgettable one of a lifetime for parents who have to go through it. -

Yeah....ALL THE BEST! :rahrah: :rahrah:
I am thinking, if someone ended up delivering there, will the seat be then guaranteed for the newborn child and his/her descendants...
My friend asked if I want to witness it with them this morning, I think my
weak heart cannot survive the tension inside even tho it is not for my kid. -
Haha ya. It's stress during registration, and stress after! Even though DD1 did not ballot in 2C 2 years ago, waiting for the results was :scared:
Anyway, I'm spared the ordeal a second time with DD2. Breezed in thru Phase 1! :imcool:
Anyway, I don't see a stepping up of DD1's (P2) workload. Quite anxious about the 'streaming' to P3 though. DD1 always pulls a face when it's time to do home work... I like to ask those whose kids in P2 - DD1 is supposed to do a simple Chinese compo from a given pic. How many lines are students supposed to write anyway? She only managed about less than half the foolscap paper.
