The Alternative Story (TAS) - Discussion

[jojo]

TTYL1:

So that means they get to borrow a book in the lesson? How long can they borrow it for? My ds reads quite slowly. :sad:

They will loan the book for 2 wks. Thereafter they will have short discussion/sharing abt the storybk. :grphug:

Now my kids are older, I have stripped down their classes to the bare necessities. They have so much school work as it is. But TAS classes are a must for them. Although I am a teacher, I cannot teach my own kids, I will go crazy and pull out my hair. So I am thankful they enjoy TAS classes and are learning.


But I really hope to stop all classes for them once they are in secondary school. I think by then they should be independent learners, hopefully. Any parents here have 'suffered' once you stop tuition for your kids in secondary school?

Mummies, I have been following this thread with interest..can I know where is TAS?

also is it true that TLL \"screen\" the parent's background before accepting the child?
TIA for replying my queries!!!

Hi Porky,


Tas operates at AMK (near AMK hub), Singpost and Bt Timah (BT Shopping centre).

As for TLL, I don’t think they screen parents background. but I have heard of kid from elite school who was accepted automatically vs kid from non-elite school who either had to go through entrance exam/rejected - and they were siblings somemore. But they may have changed this. Better to check with them directly.

My kid is with TAS. Anybody needs referral so we can both benefit from the scheme?
