I heard about the bus incident. Seem like the bus driver was very irresponsible as asked the children to find their way to school on their own.

Some of those that walked to the mrt actually has no mrt card or sufficient funds to buy the adult ticket.
And for those who are planning to walk, it’s actually a 30 minutes journey with a few roads to cross.
It’s lucky that all the students managed to reach school on their own. Just think, if your child is out there on his/her own, it would be so scary.

Last night signed some stuff for my P2. Haiz, some chinese tests coming up in early May. PLUS, there is chinese show and tell also. Stayed with DS1 until he wrote out the show and tell speech - late night again.


Parents of P2, pls remember to check.

Although I’m not sure why suddenly so many show and tell. Some weeks back his class just did one, now another one. Hope this is not going to be regular…else I’m going to be panda bear.

What I understand was that along the way to school, the school bus broke down & the students were told to make their own way to school. Some took cab & train, but some walk. Yes, true, it shows the independence of the kids on one hand, but on the other hand, how about the safety of the students?? There are student as young as P1, do you think they are capable of travelling on their own? If so, why take school bus in the 1st place right?


Do they have their ez-link with them? For some, I think no, that's why they choose to walk...... early in the morning, crossing major roads & traffic junction...... I cannot imagine.....

Please provide the bus number . Would like to understand the situation and the measures taken by the bus operator.

Not too sure about that though… heard from my boy it happens to one of the schoolmates… as the boy was telling his part of the story… That’s why thought can find out more from here… haha…

Hi hquek,


Think some might be practice show-and-tell.

My dd1 had 3 Eng show-and-tell so far and the real one coming up a few wks later.

Of course she’s in P1 but maybe those that you ds presented could be practice rounds too?

[hquek]

Different topics le. It’s ok to have practice, but not when need to write fresh stuff each time. Am making him come up with his own speech and then helping him polish…wahhhh, a challenge in patience.

[SAHM_TAN]

Yup, she also had 3 different topics. It’s good practice for her. LOL

[hquek]

You are very encouraging. Unfortunately, DS waits for me to come home before he starts. End up will be very late when he is finally done.

[SAHM_TAN]

I just hope there’s no show-and-tell in P3. I don’t think I can handle dd1’s and ds’ at the same time. LOL
