hope there won't be pole dancing
Belly dancing for pri sch kids? Maybe I'm too conservative, but I won't send my girl for this activity.sall:

Sall, agree, my girl's school is not in the elite list, but they have this special cirriculum where parents have to pay for such as speech and drama, gym, poetry, golf, belly dancing and goodness knows what else...
I am conservative too and I find belly dancing and pole dancing too erotic and suggestive to be perform in public. Recently I was at a shopping cenrtre and they had this belly dancing on stage, it was Sunday and there were family shopping with kids and at one stage, the dancer's back was facing the audience and she was performing in such a manner that reminds me of striptease (sorry but I felt that way) and there were many kids watching too :yikes: I noticed a young boy 3-4 yrs old imitating her while his parents were watching :yikes:

Most don't. But there will be a couple of rotten eggs in the basket. I usually don't tell people which school my dd is in and I never mention that she's in GEP. (This forum is different because everyone knows already hor.
do parents with kids in elite schools really brag about it?verykiasu2010:
it is the parents - looking for bragging rights
maybe i don't have friends around me with kids in elite school (most friends' kids are still in preschool!).....and those that i know of that graduate from so-call elite schools, they all seems to be regular people leh.
my son in neighbourhood school but i like to brag about him too leh... :oops:
the main distinction i agree is the quality/variety of CCAs offered in such schools.

Oops, I forgot all about the costumes :rotflmao: but i doubt it'll be anything racy, as its a convent school, and the principal is the no nonsense type.
:yikes: I suppose if they're not required to wear bikini tops with belly-revealing attire and cut out the sexy moves it's okay. But wait, what's belly dancing without the outfits and the hip gyrations?michyms:
It's an all girls school so think it's not too bad... and it's not optional either! :rotflmao: -

Agree. These type of parents used the school as a place to \"network\" and show off to others that their kids are in the \" elite\" school. They only tell you how good the school is and never tell you anything bad. -
