I think we own it to our kids to let them understand that whatever we did/didn't do for them, we've done our best as parents, based on what we know. Just like our own parents have done their best for us, based on what they knew.
Well said.
My DD is probably too young to understand this now but in time to come I hope she will. As parents we would want to provide the best environment for our children to grow up, within our means & capabilities. That includes selecting a good school. -

P & VP's hair?! θ΅’δΊε°! These are the most potent of all ingredients. No wonder the chant for phase 2c balloting works last year.
Brota, U Real Resourceful, Man!FQW:
7. P's hair ==> checked
8. VP's hair [as backup] ==> checked
Things Like these .... Also Can Get! :udaman -

We, HUMble arcane practitioners from the School of Ultimate
Prophecy [humsup for short] take our work seriously, especially when there's mouth-watering tempura BBQ at stake. :drool: -

[quote=\"FQW\"]My son is just next to me now so I checked this with him. For his class, their assignment is to describe a place they visited during the Jun holidays [can be either local or overseas].
Yes, it can be local or overseas. Unfortunately the assignment topic happens to provide another opportunity for students to compare.
Nevertheless be it local or overseas, it's the learning experience that matters. Gotta tell our child not to feel inferior.
Anyway between staying in a condo with totally hands-off parents and a HDB with parents who're always there for us, I know as a kid what I'll prefer.[/quote]Why make a comparison saying people stay in condo make up of hands off parents while parents from HDB are always there for the kids?
Children are all innocent and very simple being. Even when they are thinking why some stay in condo some in HdB they see hdb and condo as different items. And not from the point why my parents can't afford, the materialistics comparison between private and HDB.....etc. instead of telling them 'ah boy, people staying in condo are richer but may not be happy as compared to HDB people, .'. We tell them exactly the differences of both structures. If our kids see a Merc passed by, do we instantly say ' nothing great, these drivers are all in debt with car loans,we are happer in mrt no debt and liability' ?!? -

Err....the sec school with the same name sake hor...is in sengkang leh. Don't think many parents will aspire their kids to head in that direction :siam:mummyoftwo:

But surprisingly (or Not?) Never Heard of Kids aspiring to go to the Sec Sch with .... Errrrrrrrrrr ....

I'm afraid you've misread my post. I used a condo-HDB analogy due to ruaqt2's earlier post on her dd's class comparing types of housing. I was saying that for small kids, what matters more is the time their parents spend wih them, not how affluent they are.

If you can pt me to the exact sentence(s) I caused you to think that i implied all condo-owners are hands-off parents, I'll be happy to amend it. -

Joyfulhands was right!! I sold all my Benzzz. . . .!! However, I still take them almost every day.
Whoa, so Scary owns several Benzzz ... no wonder she so generous to foot the BBQ.Joyfulhands:
Side track.. last yr after registration DH came back to tell me PH quite 'scary'.. He saw several Mercedes cars parked outside the school, likely driven by other wealthy parents going for registration.
