      Nowadays the second-hand bookstores also do not want our books. I am trying to win my kids over to reading e-books but so far, they still like the feel and touch of ‘real’ storybooks. My ds also will not let me touch his storybooks, I wanted to pass down to his younger cousins but he says he may want to re-read his books…sigh.

        To my understanding, ACSI's students can choose their CCA also. ACS schools are very supportive of CCA, they believe that no one should turn down any students that show interest in CCA due to lack of vacancy

        ACSI also requires that every student does 2 CCAs each.


        ACSI requires one CCA to be a uniform group. However, I was told that if you get in under sports DSA, and your training is intensive, they may exempt you from the second CCA.[/quote]If you are in the school 1st team(not reserved), it is worst then taking 2 CCAs. My firend's DS was in the ruby school's team, train 4 -5 days a week, including Sat. For those who take 2 CCAs, only need to stay in school for 2 days. On top of that, need to miss lessons becuase of
        competition.

            For the rugby team, the parents are heavily involved as well.
            Must attend matches to cheer, got thanksgiving dinners etc.
            Sometimes the team goes oversea for training/tour parents follow as well.

              [quote=\"firefly38\"]Ds now shopping for books and mummy's gonna :moneyflies: 😉


              Vlim, not working today? Plan to buy a gift for DS as a reward for his hard work. Ask DS what he wants and DS says the whole series of horrible science books 'to begin with' (Wa, maybe followed by 'horrible history', 'horrible geography' & 'murderous math' etc etc???) :moneyflies:

              DS hardly asks for toys or games (except his DS Pokemon series) as rewards. DS likes to read and collect books, and once he starts reading one book must collect whole series! :moneyflies:

              What a coincidence! I myself am a Pokemon fanatic.
