LOLMum:
This was something I highlighted to Richard Lim last year and I'm not surprised nothing is done. Those guards are not properly briefed. They should stand in the middle of the road when the kids are crossing, not on the pavement waving them. I don't understand why some parents need to drive at such a fast speed when coming down Barker Road, knowing full well there are kids crossing the road. I also wrote to the LTA before to request for speed humps before the zebra crossing, but no reply. I guess, everyone is waiting for an accident to happen before taking action. Sorry to say, but sometimes I'm very disappointed with the P for his inaction and nonchalent attitude.parents,
if your kid(s) are using the zebra crossing between the school and chancery lane car park, please tell your kids to look at the security guard's hand signal first before crossing the road.
dont cross the road blindly just because the security guard is standing there.
many a times, the security guard raised his hands to tell the kids not to cross but the kids just continued to cross (and cars were moving off) just because they saw him standing there (but he wasnt even in the middle of the road).
dont understand why my request for a lollipop sign was rejected.

the security guard does stand in the middle of the road when people are crossing.
he stands at the side when cars are passing. however sometimes students (including parents) just stepped off the kerb without stopping to check for cars and ignored his raised hand to stop.
but i must say before he steps to the side of the road, he should turn his head around to make sure no one else is crossing. the were times he just moved a step back, waved the cars to go but the child was actually about to cross the road coming the security guard's rear side.
the poor security guards were scolded by drivers when the wait to move off was too long.
they also get scodling in canteen. tough job.

The jam is pretty terrible, every morning I’ve to join in the queue (ACPS parents alighting their children at the side gate) to exit to the main road. If to leave home slightly pass 7.15am, be prepared to be jammed at least 15min. I pity those traffic wardens (security officers), witnessed several occasions where they tried to stop moving cars at the zebra crossing but some drivers just ignored them and at times trying to stop parents/children crossing the road, they just simply continue walking. Sigh…
Anyway, after so many years of observation, there’s this very garang security officer (a golden hair with ear stud, big belly Malay uncle) who really did a good job. He often stand in the middle of the road to direct the traffic, many a times raising his voice to reprimand ‘violators’. Heard he’s the TP in ACS transport centre too, summoned and clamped many parents who park illegally at teacher’s lot. Think he must has got many complaints from parents. I salute his professionalism to discharge his duties with no fear and favourism. The school should get more of this kind of ‘talent’ and the traffic woes will be resolved soon! Between, i gotta turn in now, if not tomorrow i’ll be late and get caught in the jam again. Ha ha ha… God Bless! -

Parents of P3 boys… does your son work on the OnSponge Maths workbook? I see that the teacher has recommended my son’s class to buy but he hardly uses it in class. So I am getting my son to work on it at home. I don’t know if the questions are tough for their standard but my son is having lots of problems doing it from topic 1.7 onwards. Help! Is anyone experiencing it like me? I am getting worried about my son’s IQ.

May I ask with parents of P1/P2 here regarding the timing your boy goes to the student care? It seem that we can sign up quite no of CCA so the boy time in student care are very short… I am wondering if it is worthwhile to sign up.

Can I ask if it is easy to get to ACS Primary from Newton MRT station? It’s a few bus stops down and the boys cross a bridge to get to school?
