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...

true tat the more u do the more u will perfect it n no longer has phobia for it.. but tat being said.. we haf to make sure tat they enjoyed it n it does not become a stress for them.. which i noe it is difficult..

was chatting wif my uncle last saturday n he said tat a lot of parents tis days start their kids young wif enrichment classes.. so much so.. it became a norm for the kids tat they no longer take it as stress... but i asked him.. den watz childhood for them? he said.. wat makes u tink tat they dun take tat as childhood.. :scratchhead: :faint:

so i guess a bit too late to start on so much.. but den.. i still prefer them to enjoy childhood..

actually i also have a lot of thoughts on this topic... but i bit hard to say everything...

dunno if i try to explain some of how the system works, will it help or not...

i might know how or why the system is like this, but i also feel it's quite stressful for the kids.

there are many things i'd like to see changed... i read about Finland's and South Korea's edu syst too. and of course Finland is also my choice cos even though both are tops in the world but South Korea's is like Japan, HK, Taiwan and Sg... good bt very stressful. children emerge tired or creative at the end of the day?

that said, i also think for certain disciplines, top marks and being able to focus and be absolutely outstanding in the field is necessary. would you want to see a doctor who didn't get good marks? or a surgeon to operate when he/ she is the careless type in school? i'd be so :nailbite: :siam:

so i don't think i mind the medicine faculty being extremely selective. at least i think Sg doctors who graduate from NUS med fac are trusted around the world cos of the rigour they went through. the other eg i can think of is training to be a pilot. i'd be so scared to sit in a plane if anyone can be a pilot.

besides these fields though, i feel our kids should have freedom of choice.

when i heard about pr schs even having CCA selection, i was so :scared: :yikes:

i was even not sure and had to double confirm.... do you know some schools only allow the kids to join that CCA only after you pass selection? so if my son has interest in basketball but does not make the cut, cannot join!

or if wanna join band, but they deem him no musical potential, then cannot join!

will there be cases who cannot join any CCA or not, then kena some CCA they hate? it's so sad right??

Yup, it was the wax. So much cleared out from his ears Ya lor he so poor thing.

I just clean outer, for wax in the ears, suppose o roll out on their own......

Oic.. i do help digged out at times.. coz it is so big i can actually c it.. so many a times my kids juz come to me n ask me to dig ears for them..[/quote]I must be old mama with flower eyes becos I can't see the ear wax that were stuck in his ears. Do you shine torchlight in their ears to see?

eh.. dun haf leh.. me a relac mummy leh.. as long as it doesnt take too much effort n it doesn't bring harm to body.. y not.. but i aws hear abt wearing socks in the night to retain heat at ur feet.. so i believe it does wrk some how..

I am not too sure whether it works.. but my kids.. hands and soles will feel feverish too whenever they have the fever.. by wearing socks.. will the temperature be too high on the sole?

i only noe if fever high on head area will affect brain.. but if high on sole wat will it affect? if it won't den shldn't b a prob right? tatz my theory lah.. but i dun wear those thick socks for them.. usually those thinner ones..

DD2 has this enunciating problem and speaks in some kiddish squeakish voice so we try to guide her in speaking properly. At CC, she has a friend who speaks like this so it doesn't help she talks to this girl all the time. :faint:

DD1 has really articulate friends around her and she always have a clear voice so she doesn't have an issue with reading.

so you can imagine DD1 poking fun at DD2 without my knowing :slapshead:
