      TonyThomasMum:
      yesterday i check his wallet and found that he used up $2 dollar.

      But he told me he bought chicken rice $1.00.
      Concerned where is his $1 I ask him as I afraid bigger boys might trick him.

      My son told us one P1 boy lost his money so he gave him $1.
      He said that boy's friend gave that boy $0.10 but it is so little. That's why he gave that boy $1.
      He pity that boy who lost his money.

      Apparently that boy takes the same return school bus as my son.

      Today I ask him if that boy return him $1, he said no.
      He 'gave', not 'lent' rite? Maybe that's why the other boy didn't return?

        Hi tonythomasmum

        Similar incident happened to my boy yesterday. We checked his wallet and found 20 cents missing. After asking and asking, he finally said that his friend lost his money and he is so poor thing so he exchanged his 50 cents coin for one 20 cent coin and one 10 cent coin. The boy is also in his school bus.

        Told him not to exchange money with anyone anymore. Sigh

          I think he doesn’t know the concept of lending money to friends.

          Just told him next time if the same thing happen to him, he must return money to his friend.

          Also told him do not borrow or ask friends for money.

            With regards to money, if I’m not wrong, the school (or at least my DS class) has this policy that they can’t exchange money, borrow money, give money and ask for money. Should the boys forget to bring money to school, they are to inform their form teacher who will lend them the money.

              Yes. Told him money is for him to buy food in school. They are still not familiar with the concept of money.

                Hi moon17, hopefully is the same boy and he really lost his money.


                Hi Bigfoot, thanks. Will tell him to look for teacher should such situation happen to him.

                  Good to have policy not to exchange and lend etc and to approach teacher.

                  Day 1 * DS told me another kid ask him for $1 and to exchange for $2.
                  DS told him cannot (fortunately).
                  Quite settle into the schedule. 6.30am bus. 8pm sleep. Eating dinner well.

                    I believe there are pple who steal money coz ds didn’t know where his money went too. It happened twice last year so we didn’t put money in his wallet (kept in the bag) anymore. Now we make him put money in his pockets. They don’t lock the classrooms so anyone can sneak in to search the bags.
