Maybe I know how the teachers reacted? Thinking of letting my DD study at home too, but not sure if the school will permit? ThanksASLMUM:
May I know what to tell the teachers if we pull our kids out of school? Just say studying at home?
I emailed to his FT, Chinese and Eng teachers once prelim was over...to inform them that my son will be studying at home twice a week late Aug. Since beginning of Sep, my son has been studying at home everyday, other than Friday for LC. -
His teachers wanted him to get past year papers done...but they didn't inform me...his classmate was told to pass to him. :faint: teachers also asked (through the classmate) when son will be going to school.

I am also thinking of asking my son to stay at home next week, which is 3 days before the PSLE written papers. His English school teacher wants them to stay for supplementary class till 5.30pm on Mon & Tues for this week & next week. Maybe it is better for him to slow down & get sufficient rest before the big days. Since only 3 days, don't have to inform the teachers. -

I just sent an SMS to my DS' form teacher letting them know when he won't be in school this week and next. I think it's better for him to stay at home so there is personalized attention but I still wake him up around the same time as he would if he were going to school. This is to ensure that his body clock doesn't get messed up cos during PSLE he would have to wake up early. -
Same here. Popular at Jurong Point also does not carry 1186. But there are 1183 and 1196 (black). We have even tried the neighbourhood stationery shops but with no luck too.[/quote]
I bought the stabilo eraser 1186 at stationary world (s) pte ltd 179 telok Ayer street tel 6224 2610 they close at 6pm[/quote]
Told my dd about this stabilo eraser and shes nt interested but I tried popular AT UNITED SQ but the assistant checked and said they dnt cary it. -

I shared my idea of letting dd stay at home to do revision with a mother outside the school yesterday. Guess what she said? She said I am \"siao\", where got people don't let kids go to school and stay at home do own revision. I was so upset to hear that word \"siao\"! She doesn't coach her dd at all, that's why she thinks I am siao! I didn't explain further my reason to her because 话不投机， 半句多！I told dd to stay at home this week to do her own revision but she refused. She said she want to play and talk to her friends in school. So I just let her be.
Actually I am more worry about my Sec2 ds. SA2 starts next week and he still bo-chap! -

Well, there are lots of \"siao\" people like us from the \"siao\" club.
One parent whom I spoke to decided to follow our footsteps. Another buddy of DS rang up yesterday and said that he's following soon. Oops, I hope we didn't start a trend in school.
But on the other hand, a close friend think that I am \"siao\". Her PSLE DS is also in the same school and this is something she would never do. Her eyes almost popped when I first told her about the idea.
