That’s very strange, either my son’s class teacher is super idle or he has covered a lot in the class. My son’s homework’s next to nothing.


Any homework assigned, whether English or MAths are so little and easy that he finished within 10 mins, sometimes even none. I have to supplement him with something else to keep him occupied.

He is in 1 PER.

Hey flyboy744,

Look on the bright side, you got a boy who does his homework fast! according to my son from 1SIY, they get time to do homework in class. So most times I see his diary have many pages, but by the time he gets home, almost all done. Initially I felt the learning of spelling and 听写 is quite heavy but as he progress along, now he learns faster, in 1 sitting as opposed to a few nights. So maybe you can take pride in his efficiency and also can use the spare time in other constructive activities like reading w him??

Hi Wenthena,


Glad to share on our experiences so far. My Son's from 1 SEL.
We will be moving soon and my helper's contract is due to end next year. So in view of this, I am considering sending him to Morning Star.

Was wondering if you could fill me in on more details on how Morning Star works, the costs involved and also some feedback on how beneficial it'd be for the child?

Will share some of the other stories shortly!

:goodpost: hi! I thoroughly enjoyed your post. It's good to know that there's another parent like yourself, hands-on and still finding like me, that this may not be smooth sailing all the time.

Which class is he in? My son was hoping to join soccer but he was svouted for badminton instead. So he does mon and fri training. Fortunately for me, he's been in morning star since day 1. So that sorted out the logistical nightmare for me. You can consider it, since he will also be able to do his homework there before going home:)

So what are your other interesting stories??

Hello


I am considering sending my boy to SGPS. But I am staying >2km away so likely need to do PV to secure a place. Any one did PV before and could share their experience?

Also, I have been seeing some form of ‘bullying’ from the older boys. I’m not sure whether this is a trend in boys school but my nephews in Maris Stella are very rowdy also.

I’m still contemplating whether to send to a neighbourhood school near my home or do PV at SGPS since my DD will be enrolling in PL…

[flyboy744]

Cherubsy, my advice to you, please decide your PV time wisely…


Cheers!
