Any feedback on what is Mr Chin’s style ?

[tankee]

I do not know of his style.


I read from a KSP parent’s post in Pei Chun thread here that the Pei Chun is said to be academically driven and emphasise on discipline. And said to have lots of homework.

googaga:

About the booklist, given that the orientation is in late Nov, would the bookshops run out of text to sell? :? Any idea where to get booklist in advance? Maybe Tankee can help?

Dun worry abt the book list, last yr end when i'm getting my girl's P2 books, we got everything from popular bookstore (end up paying cheaper than what was quoted from the school bookshop. So you get to shop for books at a cheaper rate and no need to queue for ages...plus u get to enjoy Popular bookshop aircon hehe

T3:

Heard from a friend that a bowl of noodle cost $0.70 so the kids need about $2 for pocket money! Also, the class are separated based on month of birth, that is why they have 12 classes.


I wonder typically how much parents give to their primary school children.

I'm giving my girl $1.20 per day. and she still gets to save $0.10 or $0.20 everyday. I have 3 kids, 1 already in Taonan P2 this yr, and 1 going to Taonan P1 next yr (so i'll see some of you during Orientation, maybe we can arrange a meeting point for kiasuparents forum members to meetup hehe)

You should get the booklist during orientation for P1 and normally parents skip the talk to queue up for books / uniforms (true spirit of kiasuism!!! )

hi fellow Taonan parents


Has anyone received letters from TNS regarding the orientation program ?

Most schools I know has already sent out letters informing which class their kids will be in and the orientation date and program.
