I don't know if it's the same for other schools but cca-time in zhss was horrible for me, maybe i dont understand why UGs seniors have to yell and sometimes yank the arms of their juniors to gain their respect, maybe i dont understand why my seniors treated us so badly. I didn't get it in sec1 (i was so flabberghasted), and still don't get it now. My respect for them decreased by the day fyi. I should had listened to my p6 form teacher, 'Dont join a UG'. it's tiring and worse of all my cca was closed down in my 2nd year and merged with another. Do make a wise decision, if you think your daughter is stubborn or can't really tolerate like 70 pushups a day and run around alot, warn her about joining a UG, cause they might be clueless about it like me. I guess you can say im both; stubborn AND get exhausted easily, i got yelled at by my seniors alot cause i can't do a proper pushup. However, if you have a son, it is better to enroll him in NCC or a UG, he would have more experience then and would suffer less in the army btws your child wont get scolded if he just abide by the rules, only the dm is strict, and he wont get a personal scolding from him if he dosn't step out of the line. case in point: if you yell or give the teacher the finger you would obviously be dealt with lol.

Hi beezlebubz ,

Which UG did you join? If you think that you have been unfarily treated, have you tried to talk to the teacher in charge instead of these \"seniors\" you are talking about?

I guess UG provides a good platform to prepare boys for the army, where the treatment could be even much harsher.

Maybe, just maybe, joining UG could \"harden\" the children (whether boys or girls) and this would train them tolerance and perseverence in the face of adversity, which may not be a bad thing.

Mm well yeah, ive talked to the teachers, but ofcourse they’ll defend their own cca, not a single individual, in a way NCC have it worse than us so they think we should be able to tolerate with it since i’m the one who chose UG. Btws it was alright before the merge, the pushups only started after

yeah but being scolded for such frivolous bagatelle just makes me so indignant…

May I know which CCA you are in. You mentioned that it was merged - but what were merged. Hope you can enlighten me. Thanks.

i dont think its good to mention bah… my point is that to excel in a UG you need stamina, which i sadly lack…

Recently, my DD came back from school and told me that some of her classmates’ parents are gossiping negatively about her and another girl among parents. She did not know the exact details, but suspected that probably someone who did not like them told the parents about them…and the ball started rolling.


I am really saddened by this and disgusted by the behavior of these parents.
It is already a great challenge for the kids to transit from Primary School to Secondary School. As parents, we should support and be understanding towards all of them, and not make judgement based on what we hear without even knowing the kids personally. Worst, influencing others to think the same:(

Oh dear!

Have you considered bringing up to the teacher or even principal? Such things should not be allowed to perpetuate, especially if it is based on hearsay and falsehood. Things like that can make the affected student(s) drag going to school and may affect her studies.

I am actually thinking about how to handle this situation because I do not know who are the parents involved. Probably will monitor the situation for the time being, and see if she can get me more info before I approach anyone..

I understand that the school's discipline is pretty strict. Even if you don't get the info about who are the gossiping parents involved, you may consider bringing up to the discipline master? Perhaps, he can make a general speech to the whole school (or that particular class) without needing to pinpoint anyone. Those who go round gossiping should know that they will be taken notice of if they don't stop all these nonsense. This could be a deterrent.
