How old is your ds? It really depend on your situation... If your ds is quite disciplined, then I'll get maid to pick him up with instructions to self-study at home. If not, then I'll probably send him to learning bliss where the teachers can guide him in school work and get maid to pick him up earlier so he can rest at home....

Just my 2 cents worth...

Thanks,MommyNG!


My ds is going P1 next yr. I’m not so worry abt his school work but more concern abt safety. My maid just indirectly caused DS to have a bad accident and really don’t wish to have another one as walking bk home, it is not that safe though less than 1km. Else, my maid is rather good in terms of housework n character.

In that case, I suppose you may want to avoid having your maid to walk home with your ds during peak dismissal hours, as traffic can be quite bad (dangerous). I think either you can try learning bliss and get your maid to pick up your ds earlier, or you can ask your maid to cook, bring lunch to the canteen during dismissal time, wait for him to finish lunch, and then walk home \"leisurely\". Many students do that too!

My take is that rest is good! The Kids need to rest to grow they need time out to think and play... That is provided you can get them to rest while you are at work and then work with you later.
On the other hand you might want to get all the homework done at learning bliss so that you can get them to bed earlier for the same amount of \"rest\" kids adapt quite well but there will be days when they need time off so you need to be alert. Depends on the child and the support you have at home.

I am "lagi" hard to decide now. My poor child. Bringing lunch is truly brilliant and new idea to me. Thanks All!

[quote=\"verykiasu2010\"]by and large most parents have no issue with the syllabus - it is not so much the NYPS syllabus, it is approved by SEAB, used by ALL schools in Singapore

I believe NYPS follows the MOE standard for SAP schools. However, NYPS may value-add by introducing more Chinese content as part of their cultural immersion.

having put two kids through the NYPS, I have to say that it is no. There is no more Chinese content than what is in the SEAB syllabus

in fact the environment of the SAP school should make any students more confident to face the Chinese syllabus

the syllabus is not more than what you get from any other non-sap primary schools

I do appreciate that there are families / children who really struggle with the language, but to blame it on the school per se is not logical and not right[/quote]In that case, some may view the Chinese environment as a booster and some may see it as a stress.
