She used a syringe, but where the needle is, there's a long thin tube. So water will be pump out through the tube, which is place near the ear hole. When there's enough water, the wax in the ear will flow out. So much of the wax came out. My DS smile and was very happy that both ears were cleared.
:rotflmao: how did the doc 'wash' his ears? My ds also had a big ear wax blocking his left ear. One day after shower i was cleaning his ear and the whole thing came out. Then he said, wow mom, now i can hear u so well..
dunno real or not.. I think kost times he just pretend not to hear me..

My paed tells me that a kids tongue is not fully developed until abt 8 yrs old. So i think no nd to worry la. His speech will improve with time. My ds also used to hv problem w differentiating 's' and 'sh'. So sour and shower sounds the same :rotflmao: now ok alr :boogie:MintyMin:
On leave today n took chance to go to DS's cc to have a parent teacher meeting.. as i missed the one in July as we went for BVPS open hse..
so far all is good.. DS as expected is gd wif numbers but not sight reading.. n pronunication slight problem due to short tongue.. so principal suggested he attend 'Orton Gillingham'.. but he did emphasize tat he is definitely not saying tat DS has disability problems.. but we juz haf to find a method for him to strengthen his language skills..
Anyone heard of Orton Gillingham b4? He told us tat the CC's ex supervisor is doing freelance teaching of tat now.. so ask me to check w her.. which i might do it n c how tings goes for DS..
really?! hmmm.. coz after 1 time experience w :moneyflies: :moneyflies: i nvr bring them to paed thereafter.. only GP..
If tatz the case den i juz :xedfingers:

They still take PSLE. But those successful in DSA would have a place liao. They can relax a bit but still need decent marks in PSLE,[/quote]Oh... Then not fair leh... I can see the point through the non academic part but not the academic part leh.. Why have this system har? Means they alrdy get a place and no need to stick to the cut off point system la..
Yup it is definitely my worse case.. If DD cannot make it for PSLE, then it's international school lieow.. Ok I have heard of it but don't know it's DSA for short.. I don't agree la... Why don't take PSLE wor? Wat if u don't do well in o levels? U don even have a PSLE lor... Like i mention earlier, I am a big fan of exams and only through exams u know where u stand.. Why avoid it? Practise make perfect wat.. If u keep taking exams, then u will be so good in it... Just like in poly they keep making u do presentation in front of an audience until today I m so numb by it that publis speaking is a click of the finger.. Not need to look so far la.. I think Australia pretty similar to Finland then...bigsnoopy:

PC = politically correct
Since only primary school is compulsory, after that can go international if trap by foundation subjects?
DSA is Direct School Admission for sec schools. Two ways non-academic and academic. The application start in P5 mid yr or so. If through sports, then must have competed at national level with good results and must be in the school of choice's niche. For acadremic track must go for test at the schools of choice and student at same time must get gold or silver at acadmic competition. There's a thread on this DSA thing,
In Finland, all kids are given equal opportunities. I think over there they really learn more but use less time yet so much less stressful. I think as long as out of Asian countries and communities, our kids will be less stressed
Yup, MIA, not able to complete yet -

Finland had 30 years to tweak their education, think we can really do better and make changes with parent's feedback.They also need a Master’s in Education to teach a class, doubt we can even afford that when we lack in teachers. They are highly paid.

They have 50k kids vs 5.2mil actual Finnish compared to us where 37k vs 3mil SG ppl? Something to note, they are \"female -dominant\"
Finnish students begin studying algebra, geometry and statistics in the first grade (our P1) Students having problems learning are assigned tutors and remedial specialists from the first day they are evaluated until the day they graduate. (something similar to our learning program at P1 / P2) but we are kind of afraid our kids will be in that group...
For us, alot of thought is given to gifted children while for Finland, they are asking for more time spent with gifted children.
My friend has a 3 year old son in UK. and he already knows multiplication. Kids their age as my DDs are doing ballet, horse-riding and piano combined with additional language. It is competition on a global basis so other countries have it but just hidden and isn't as outspoken as us.
Just a :love: , at least we know people want to come to SG Uni for further studies (never do hear people wanting to spend the $$ for Finland Uni :siam: )
To me, it really boils down to the parent at times, I was also in a class of 40. Didn't feel isolated by the teacher as we had peer to peer support. Every Parent want their kid to be \"no 1\" in SG so even if we eventually adopt the finnish system, I am not sure if majority of the parents can accept that their kids are smarter and deserve special attention or just follow the crowd. What if their kid is coached till 12th grade, will parents be stressed to take on enrichments just to be out of it and ask for a n option to opt out?\" My take is parents who can't afford would like it, parents who can afford would want their kids to be out
just my kiss-ing thoughts :please: -
