For their camp (still undecided whether to send my kids)- has anyone sent their kids before, advisable to stay over night? How your kids found it?[/quote]


Hi Qirkymum

Your kid definately have fun. My girls (P1 & P3) joined their Camp in June 3D 2 N and Children’s Day program and they love it so much. Parent must learn to let go lah… heee hee hee

[coolit]

Yes, the camp in June was very fun for my kids. Also good break for parents :boogie:

Actually, I think a test is a sensible idea. I’d rather not waste money if the professionals don’t think the course is right for my child.


btw, GreenBelt - what was their reasoning?

Doramon, what course are you thinking of signing up for?

[smartmummy]

Hi!

How many kids in a class in TAS?

[coolit]

8 for lower pri and 16 for upper (for upper more than 12, will have assistant teacher)

[smartmummy]

thanks coolit!

Does the class size still hold? I think my kid’s class has more than 8 definitely leh. (he’s with P2s this year).

[coolit]

Oops! Sorry my mistake, it is more than 8 for lower pri- I think they consider lower pri as their P1/2 class-will have assistant teacher. For upper and mid primary P3 and above, should be more than 12, will have assistant teacher.

But there are 1-2 teachers who have been teaching in schools for a long time, for them they can handle the mid-upper pri without assistant teachers. One of my kid is in one of their classes and I was told because the teacher has a lot of experience, handling 16 is not a problem. So far, I am very happy with that teacher.

hee, thanks coolit for clarification. I dun mind their class size, but some parents may get a rude shock if their kid is in a bigger than anticipated class.
