      my kid is going by sch bus. so wonder shall me follow her (taking own transport) to sch too on her 1st few days? and see her board the sch bus when sch ends? err.... is me too gan chiong??


      btw what time sch end eh? sorry too forgetful liao...
      From Mon - Thurs lessons end at 1.35pm and on Fri it's 1.05pm. From last yr's experience, the P1 kids will finish class at 1.20pm for the 1st 2 wks. But your child will be taking the school bus, so don't think it will make a difference because the bus will wait for kids from other levels.

      The parents are not allowed to stay within the school. You will not be able to catch a glimspe of your child alighting or boarding the school bus.

      Enjoy the P1 experience 😄 Mine enjoyed hers.

          Your dd handled the situation well. 😄

          I guess it's unavoidable for some kids to be mischevious and play rough. Let's hope they will change for the better under the teachers' guidance and the influence of di zi gui.

              P3 book list has many items listed as optional, eg grammar, 2 dictionaries from different publishers, Chinese Readers, E-dictionary…

              Any advice if they are necessary?

                  They are not used in school unless otherwise the teachers request the children to have them.

                      Imho, as far as holistic education matters, Parents are not suppose to know the top score... It is about how good a student performs against himself not others. Why are we as parents adding extra pressure and expectations to students.

                      Hope you know for years why many of us had been pushiing this to be implemented years ago ..Happy it is implemented in my d1 PSLE year 🙂

                      Importantly, it is student ndividual exams performance and achievement that matters. Ultimately, the goal of the Student is to pass the exam and get posted to the secondary school of his choice.

                      Since i had received queries about my son's performance ...To supporters of PSG .... my son met expectation; happy, healthy, matured and indpendent ; posted to ACS(I); got recognized for his good character , achieved his psle targets, achieved school team status for wushu, nationals status for international chess and an active student leader. I can't ask for more.

                      Will take a month break and prepare my d2 for PSLE 2014.

                        There are two schools of thought when come to this implementation, and there have been much heated debates in separate threads within this forum and in ST as well, so let's not go further here.

                        Just to clarify that the information seek is not always directly meant for the parents per say; sometimes can be from high achiever kids as well, so as to better gauge themselves where they will stand at the national level and not play the frog in the well syndrome.

                        Between, congrats to you and your boy!
