Studying in branded schools wld also mean additional stress to ds and myself and there is much life apart from academics. Anyway, both dh, ds are happy with the environment and my ds is looking fwd to go to the big sch for orientation this 20 nov
[/quote]Don't be disheared. Studying in neighbourhood school is as good - likewise you mentioned, neighbourhood schools are less stressful. On top of that branded schools have many 'rich' people - more traffic jams,etc. etc. and also time spent on the journey can be quite tiring for the kids. When the child forget to bring things to school, you are unlikely to help bring them as the school is normally quite a distance away.

Both my kids were from neighbour schools and they did very well and they were very happy when they were in that school.
Both are in branded schools now due to their own promotion into them.

Neighbour schools are as good now. In fact when my boy was first transferred to one of the branded schools ( as mentioned in your message) , he does not like it that much and he long to return back to his old school . He said that the friends in his old school are better.

Just to share this article from the New Paper on last year FLL (First Lego League). http://schools.moe.edu.sg/jups/fll.pdf


Hi Yerdua, Juying is a good school and I heard from my girl, they have a very supportive principal. If your son is interested, encourage him to join their robotics CCA. Cheers ...

Wow, i'm glad to see your post and tt article as well!


Cos juz today i read an article in the Young Parents mag about a boy,Lim Ding Wen from Lianhua Pri who knows eight programming languages, created applications for iPhone and many more.... I'm impressed cos i dun even know what programing is all about and a 10 year old boy creates something from it!

Knowing Juying has robotics is great feeling. (i assume only sap sch offer such ccas.) Now, at least i know that the school will provides my son with some form of exposure on robotics as his dad and mum know nuts about it!

did you also read that his father is an IT programmer?
genes or headstart, you think?

[Yerdua]

I discussed this with my dh too. We felt that the boy got both his father genes and a good headstart as well. But despite all these, what's important is that the boy, himself is truly interested in programing and find joy in them! I dun think he'll perform so well, if he's been drilled to do it.

Har, now, hope that my boy when exposed to robotics in Juying next year will be able to grasp or find out more what they are about! :roll:
