My Goodness!!!! :yikes:
Do they really need to learn soooooo much things?
How to be happy like that? No time to relax. :sad:
Can fail some ?? Or maybe borderline pass?[/quote]Actually hor, some of the subjects look kinda fun
I mean, staying in school for such long hours doesn't look so bad if the lessons are fun, right? And also if they are for NOT passing exams - but of course, that's jus blissful thinking ain't it?

Food and nutrition and design and technology, both girls and boys need to take up both subject? Or is it girl take up food and nutrition and boy takes up design and technology?

I know in some schools the boys also do food and nutrition, and good at it!

Sometimes, if not often, mommy's words weigh less than what the school/teacher says, so its certainly a good subject to at least make sure they eat well and learn to take care of their own health!

yes hope that you can let go in sec Sch. It's for his good... The more we get involved again in his sec Sch the more reliant he gets on us - can we help them all the way to uni? Also, let's pray like all boys, our DS will bloom later probably in sec Sch...so there is so much hope!

You don't learn to let go, your kids can't learn to grow..

Janet, it's not that bad lah.

Sometimes it may seem that my kids barely have a life, what with the tons of projects and homework, but overall, it's been a good and positive learning experience.

In fact, one kid going to Esplanade today to watch a play and for the other kid, the teachers are organising a trip for students to the Harry Potter exhibition.

Actually, hor... if can survive PSLE, can definitely survive secondary school life.

Hi parents,

After surviving this 'amazing race' (ie PSLE), it's time to let go to give him room to grow. Sec 1 should be fun and hope he matures.

When he goes to sec school, his peers' influence will be stronger than my words. Will need to adopt a different approach with him. :frustrated: :nailbite: TEENAGE years.
