LKVM:

My DH have made the trip to school atleast 4 times and still there is one missing book.... sigh!

Hi sista LKVM - remembered seeing last week that there was a list of books still unavailable from the bookshop, especially the lower primary

Which is the book that you are still unable to get?

[Champion]

LKVM:

I still cannot get Mathematics one... is not available in Popular Jurong Point too!

Yes, I heard from DD1 that a few of classmates still unable to get the MPAH! P4 Maths Homework Book :sad:

[Champion]

LKVM:

Yes dear same one and not there in popular also... my ds1 says he cannot do so much homework...

what I understand from DD1 is the FT (happens to be her Maths T) make copy of the 1st few pages for those who unable to get the books to do the homework. Same goes to the Science activity book, the Science T also does the same

I heard the publisher will issue the books to the school first then follow by popular and other store. Suggest tell your kids to ask bookshop auntie everyday to check availability of the textbk.

I not sure whether the publisher do issue the books to the school if that so WHY the school have no stock. I did help my friend's kid getting the book at Popular. Try looking in popular too. asking the Auntie really difficult.

The most only problem is booklets & worksheets that are under school, have no stock which can't be found outside the school. :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: I had to help making copy for my friend's kid if not the Teacher really scolded that poor kid which the blame should come from WHO!!!

Hi All,
Can really understand the :frustrated: :stompfeet: most of feel especially queuing at the bookshop just to find out that the books are out-of-stock or not arrive yet after repeated times going to the school :mad: :mad: !

Not sure about other level but for my P4 DD1 they have this book which is the new publication from Marshall Canvendish:-
English Test Papers 4
This one only available on the 1st day of school and I managed to get extra 2 copies for DD1 classmates. Then DD1 told me some classmates' parents went on the 2nd day of school and the bookshop auntie told them out of stock! :stupid: :stupid:

Agreed !! Every year I have all my textbks ready. Only this time missing is from the school worksheets. Not so difficult, no. of pupils is fix just make copies. Only problem the worksheets they store somewhere else. I suggest CPS maybe next time find one empty classroom and store only CPS worksheets plus handbooks, porfolio. At least their stock is there any can replenish immediately.

Hi mercury95sg!

which level is your dd in?

Me too, had one elusive book. Similar to champion. Mine was the P3 Test Papers by Marshall Cavendish as well. I did go to Popular but cannot find it there as well. I even tried another Primary school bookshop :evil: also out of stock.

Finally did manage to get it at CPS school bookshop, I think only on the 4th or 5th day.

[Kabby]

LKVM, did the school bookshop vendor change too? Is that why it is messy?

For me, the other books were all in stock except this Marshall Cavendish one that seems to be a new production. Could be out of stock everywhere as I searched Popular too, and the staff said they were out of stock for quite long.
