I don't do sanitiser, I just feel it's more chemical.


I only use sanitiser if there's no soap in the toilet, and this is when I'm overseas. Even in kindy, I asked the teachers to just let the kids wash hands with soap and lay off the sanitiser.

Oh oh oh me too! Soap and water, good enough.
Plus the sanitiser smells really strong wor. Strike two.

I worry about bathroom soap in school. cos when we go out, I bring my own soap to wash hands :evil: Ppl always look at me strangely when I whip out my little bottle!

How ah, in school... :scratchhead: I zoomed to the toilets during orientation to check out the soap. Standard issue hmmmm. Pink and strong. I forbid all my kids to use public toilet soaps so I have no idea how dd will wash her hands! Maybe bring her own? :rotflmao:

Thanks, mommies. You all made me feel better. I thought I'm the only :siao: one!

so glad to find another who worry about public soap. But I just take it as necc evil.

Me thinks lower primary is very important for building foundation, not time to chase grades, so should take it easy actually. With the light workload, it's the best time to read a lot, build a good vocabulary bank, establish good study habits etc. Most of all, at this age they should enjoy school and the process of learning I've seen my fair share of p1 kids who lose all enthusiasm for school by mid-year after endless tuition classes, homework, assessment books and past year papers. By then, zero motivation left wor.

My 2 cents: must must must let your kids have time to read esp when in lower primary. Cos if they don't build up vocabulary and an intuitive sense for language, be it EL or MT, right from the start, later on you'll end up fighting fire with the most boring way imaginable, guaranteed to kill all interest... Piles and piles of guide books and worksheets... No amount of vocabulary lists can beat what you get out of reading good books for years!

Take the time to lay a strong foundation first; during the higher primary years, they can build on it with confidence.

:goodpost: :hi5:

i think can take 1-2 years to get them adjusted and love school and learning first. my opinion lah. slowly increase the workload (aka \"build on\" as cayenne termed it nicely).

i think we should take care they don't burn out too. if climax too early, not good right? :evil:
