I think if CCA is affecting DD1's school work, I will yank her out. :evil:

I will also do the same thing... :hi5:

I understand from schools' point of view why they don't allow pupils to quit CCAs easily. A relative of mine, who is a retired teacher, told me that for some CCAs, eg Chinese Orchestra, they spent a lot of time, effort and money to train the pupils, so it's a waste of time, effort and money when pupils quit, especially if they are in the midst of preparing for competitions or performances. She advised pupils to make a wise choice and then be prepared to be committed to it.

So I'll probably advise DD to choose something that she enjoys and hopefully won't take too much time, eg art club cos she loves drawing.

If wat ur relative says is really the case then at the end of the day it only boil down to dollars n cents and not really about the welfare of the kids isn’t it? I just want to share that when I was small I really like playing the piano so I beg my parents to let me learn it… However after about one year of lessons I find that I cannot play with both hands… Then my parents force me to continue with the lesson as they feel that if I keep going for the classes I will be able to play one day… They don want to waste their time, money n efforts. To their disappointment after three years of lessons I am still unable to do it and they have no choice but to give up… And up till now I HATE music and so had never force DD to learn it… So similar to CCA I feel kids should be allowed to quit if they cannot cope or don even hv the talent to do it even they show interest in it in the first place…

Oops! Have my post made u upset / angry? :imsorry: Well, she was just explaining to me based on her own experience, after I mentioned what my DD's P had said. Hope your DD's P not like mine. Dun hate music lah. Can still enjoy listening to it.

I will have them by Tues. The auntie need to sort the bks and discuss something with the teacher.

No choice, I have 3 kids...can you imagine if I get them only on Fri........a bb, an impatient DS and distracted DD1......in the crowded area......I think I will :faint: :faint: :faint:

At least now I can get the books while the older ones are in kindy, less stress :boogie:

Wat pencils are u letting her take to school? The mechanical ones or the non mechanics.. Do they hv to bring both markers n color pencils to school? And wat about crayons? No need? I m thinking of letting her bring five normal pencils to school so that she don't need to sharpen in school...

I'm getting her the normal 2B pencils, becos school wants them to use 2B pencils. I'm trying to get her the ones with groves.

I do have markers and crayons at home, so if she needs them for art, I will let her bring the old set. As for colour pencils, will get her a 24 set, the one at home is forty-eight, think too many and too heavy.

DD1 loves to sharpen, so will let her do it, I will just let her have three and get the pencil caps, so that the pencil case will not get dirty.

Theirs is small biz, no delivery one lah.

you forget, I'm army trained :evil: so can still handle.

I will put some in my haversack, and divide the rest into 2 bags. Plus put a book in a small bag for bb. She loves to carry shopping stuff. Hope she will not tun out to be shopaholic later :rotflmao:

[bigsnoopy]

Pencil caps is a good idea provided DD cover it after use… Might buy it also…
