Anderson Primary

Hi Daddy’s wife,

My son is in 5.6.

Actually, I prefer Mayflower but my mum finds that it have a lot of slopes and the canteen is in the basement… So since I am previously from Li Hua, my son need not ballot for Anderson, I just go for Anderson.

My daughter is gg to P1 next yr, so thinking of trying for St Nic if there is no balloting within 1km. But also heard that it is quite stressful and when the kids results are not gd, the teacher actually call the parents to ask them to send the kids for tuition outside or consider changing school…

Sure will ballot lah. I'm sending my younger one there. Hope she can survive the stress.

But this yr Singaporean got priority so maybe higher chance. 2 yrs ago, no balloting for within 1km.

Well, all Singaporeans will think the same way and they will try for schools that they would otherwise not try. So end up popular schs will still ballot.

Haha, true true… Maybe this year lesser girls?

Hi…

Sorry for some late reply…
My kid is in 5.2…

Complain about giving them homework but then after doing the homework, the teacher did not take back the homework to mark and can stay in the folder for a long time. Complain about asking them to bring back forms for parents to sign but then, didnt collect back the forms. Example, the travel information form which the kids are supposed to fill up and return to school but teacher didnt bother to collect back. To a certain extent, they do not understand why they are doing this from the teacher but there is no follow up fom the teachers. The only time when the teacher is interested in collecting back the forms are some whereby the parents need to do some payment.

Well, this is no longer happening in 5.2…but it does happened duting P3 and P4. Again, it delends on teachers…

Well, where are the HODs then ?

Maybe those parents whereby they have kids in Anderson today will understand what I am talking about…

It happens to my son in P5 this year. Previous years were ok. I always ask him to hand in the homework since he made the effort to do the homework but he always tell me that the teacher didnt ask them to hand in. I told him to just give the teacher but he says cannot. So it just sit in his folder in case the teacher suddenly ask him to hand in until I find it too heavy for him to bring back & fro.

I have the same problem with the forms, most of them are sitting in the folder too. But that didnt happen with my younger son in P3. So I guess it all depends on the teacher.
