DD got back her spelling and 听写 list last week.

Hhmm... did not see any 听写 list but saw her spelling list. Hhmmm... don't know which day is her spelling too. :rotflmao:

Tomorrow evening is meet the parents session..... It will be interesting! Wonder how to find a parking lot.... sure to be super crowded :scared:

wah lau.... trying our best NOT to be KS and to let our DD have a carefree, normal childhood. That's why we chose SMPS.... then I saw a full page ad in The Business Times today by The Learning Lab.... :scared: :yikes: :faint: :sick: . That's some serious money to burn on advertisment.


Now I am wondering what's normal and what's carefree :? :scratchhead: :frustrated: :slapshead:

sigh....

Referring to the same Lab but was talking more about a full page ad taken out by the Lab showcasing 3 alumni who topped the PSLE in various years. So the question is do we want our DDs to join the \"rat\" race cuz the peer pressure/influence on parents are very real indeed.
