I chked with the school just now. The admin mgr says this year is picked randomly. The assessment will Only be held end of 2012. Though I dunno how true or like what sc88 says. He say those in 1A may not be the best..

For DS' 2010 batch, all those taking non-Chinese for mother tongue r grouped into A class (&B? That, I'm not so sure) to facilitate time-table & logistics of spilting the class for mother-tongue lessons. The rest of the classes r student taking Chinese.

For DS' class, the ratio of boys & gals is also quite balanced at 8:7 & their birthdays r all over the years.

Btw, assessment end of 2012? I tot streaming shld b after end of P2?

Neither is mine but no need to feel sad/angry/cheated abt the class arrangement lah. The fact is last yr's top 3 in P1 standard r from F & H class (twins) & these 3 will b attending this fri's award ceremony again.

Hi Vevey, btw how do you know the same three pupils are going for prize presentation this Fri? Thks!

Personally, I think we have to instil the right mind-set & attitudes into our kids that no matter which teacher & what subject, regardless of whether we like or dislike the teaching method (as long as it’s not abusive), the kids have to pay attention & clarify doubts in class, do the work (even 笔记 that is not graded) diligently as a form of respect to the teachers & adapt themselves w the various teaching methods while trying their best to meet teachers’ requirements & expectations. Else, they would not b able to fully utilise the resources given, be it the best or not. JMHO.

I totally agree with u. :). Always tell my children must respect the teachers and do their work diligently.

My friend was just telling me that in fact if she can choose she would want her son to go into classD onwards cos the first 3 classes are a mixture of other races and depending on the luck of those taking Chinese and other mother tongue which has more students, the minority will have to shift classes, ie if the class A has more students taking tamil, those taking Chinese or Malay will have to move to class B or C. I do not like the idea of children shifting class, it can be quite disruptive.

My child received his book list and apparently the appointed book store for Nanchiau is Pacific Bookstores. And in the book list, they said that we can pre-order online. However, when I went into the website, I don’t see NanChiau listed in the list of schools. Any idea why? Could it be that the school has not submitted the book list?
