Recently, we were ask to sign an application form to make payment from our child Edusave Account. Two of the items spell as follows:
![](\"http://i42.tinypic.com/eskn13.jpg\")
http://i42.tinypic.com/eskn13.jpg\">
I call the P regarding the above mention items, and was told that its kinds of software that manage student Portal, eLearning( distance learning in cause of SARS period) blogging and others. Further more I was told that every Terms the pupils need to make this 2 items again. I don’t agreed with the principle that this 2 software application should be under our account. I reason that this software application it’s a common use software application Like Microsoft office and any many others third party softwareware application. The school should pay full amount instead. The P say he had been doing this for 5 years now and I am the only one to complain. Hello! you could be wrong for 5 years and now I’m kind enough to correct you. To end he say he don’t want to “argue with me” and hang up even I'm still on line. I don’t think this is an argument a discussion or a feedback I suppose.. Dear P: Wonder the purchase of the Netbook can also be under the Edusave Account ??? he will tell you NO because.... this n that. BTW how they come out the amount ??? wonder how much is the software cost? Just do some maths 1500 pupils(Estimated P1 to P6) x $8(Pupils Pay) = 12K(per terms), 12K x 4(Terms)=48K and for 5 years will be 48k x 5(years) = $240K.??(compute base on Pupils Pay from Edusave) a software cost $240K+ +. Anyway this school needs audit !! (misuse our Edusave) -

How can it possibly happen that ALL schools be the same ? Unless, there are no principals…just 1 minister in charge of all. Hahaha.

My daughter was identified for remedial last year when she was in P1. In a small group setting, she picked up a little faster. Her FT also got her to join the phonics group during school curriculum. I am impressed she has such a wonderful teacher. As of Jan this year, she continued with the remedial for all 3 subjects.My girl is in a neighourhood school, barely passed her P2 Chinese Exam last year. This year, she's call up for remedial lesson. Managed to learn better this year. Of course, the new MT teacher helped too. With some practices and her better attention in class, she managed to score 60% for her mock test this yr, which is an accomplishment for me.
They stream MT classes by ability, so that the teachers can spend more time drilling the basics and give more help to those weaker ones.
Btw, not all schools will do such a thing. -
i think homeschooling is the best option for kids, but apparently this idea is not popular in singapore

I ever have that thought before, will see how she cope… Have the idea that homeschooling will be more rounded and enjoyable for the kids…did not have the courage to try it though…

It's a big risk to homeschool...bcos the PSLE cop is higher. As it is, we are struggling with the high COP for kids from primary schools with no affiliation.
MOE makes it compulsory for kids to attend primary school. But it doesn't control how their principals run the schools. Some principals do not care if students are not performing...problem is handed back to parents. They focus on high ability students. If MOE is overall parent in charge, shouldn't they look into how things are run ? There should not be top-down approach. The operation part is crucial. -

Not only that. IF your child intends to get into a mainstream secondary school, then it's still best they do PSLE as a non-homeschooler. Homeschoolers do not get chance to participate in S1 posting. Hence, even if the child gets a very high score, he will have very low chance with places in one of the Top IP schools after everyone has been given places during S1, even with appeal. One friend realised that with one child altho' this child later got into a top IP school altho' at Yr 3 and not Yr 1. So for subsequent children, they put them back into a nearby primary school just for the Primary 6 year.munchkukie:
