      [quote=\"ksi\"]Wah cheem cheem... 4 subjects, 10 tuition/enrichment... :faint:


      Eng, Eng Creative Writing

      Motivation (eg. Mindchamp), Brain development or learning method

      :faint: :faint: :faint:[/quote]Actually 5 subjects if includes higher chinese. They want to teach less in school then the child have to learn more somewhere else. Otherwise the equation simply won't match. There is no magic or shortcut and i don't believe there are.

                Fat Mama:
                My P6 DD in top class in SAP school. Yesterday FT did a survey, asked the kids how many tuitions/ enrichments they attended.


                Make a guess what is the most number of tuitions some of them attended in a week?

                Yes Fat mama, is my \"ideal timetable\" matches the most number of tuitions in the top class SAP school?

                    Let see...other non-academic subjects counted? Like Piano, swimming, abacus :rotflmao: If yes, then I doubt if it will be just 10 liao. - Ok, more than 10 😉

                      You wouldn't , EVER!

                      If by some weird chance you did it would be your DS's mind that would get unhinged... 😆

                      I genuinely pity the ones who are into so many enrichments /tuitions beside being in local school curriculum in upper primary. It's counter productive.

                        Well, this will be my ideal timetable (2 for each day for Mon-Fri) if one fine day MOE says not compulsory to attend gov Pri Sch anymore but still need to take PSLE at 12yo. :rahrah:
                        We can all outsource it private schools. :celebrate:

                        I will keep the non-academic hobbies for the weekends.... :boogie:
