Ya.. not as scary.. lol.. so if parents felt this way.. naturally the kids will feel is 'fun' to go to school..


That should be the way isn't it..

Ya, think I hear more about PE, Art , music than on her subjects

DD2 goes on and on about My Pal and her Art, subjects , she just says \" I can learn, no problem\" and started questioning me if I am meeting her Form Teacher on Friday evening :faint:

I like the recent few posts. We must try to enjoy the process. Dont sweat the small stuff. We want our kids to have a healthy and positive learning experience. Establish baseline and set realistic targets with the view of improvement.

Agree! think parents should lighten up and not OCD on every single thing that comes from the school... if we nit pick, our DC will also feel the pressure more than what the school is giving.

Morning Everyone..


DS has homework.. but usually only 1 to 2 pages that he can easily finish at Student Care.. so bak home is to revise tingxie and spelling mostly.. i dun even have time to revise wif him.. cham..

Maybe tell him to spell or write the tingxie char, a fixed number depending on the total number of words, for you to see everyday?

So for example, Monday spell for you 4 words or tingxie 2 char, so on till the day of spelling/tingxie.

In this way, the responsibility is on him to show you and the task is divided into manageable portion. The day before spelling and tingxie, he will have to spell for you the whole list.

CCA/remedials start next year. I found out yesterday that the transport providers at my DS’s school don’t provide any service after CCAs/remedials because each CCA and each remedial ends at a different time, resulting in a low number of students per trip.


The parents/guardians/caregivers/domestic help either take the children home, or the children go home by themselves.

This won’t work for me. My DH and I work fulltime, caregiver is too old, we are planning to drop domestic help and bus/MRT routes not direct so my DS will get easily confused.

Don’t know what to do…

I am certain schools could do better. Plan and allocate fixed days for CCA & timing. It is near impossible for all parents to fetch their kids. Some kids stay hours after CCA to catch the evening bus. So tiring for them. Whole day at school and most wake up around 6am or earlier.

Oooo.. we are fortunate that the BASC is ok to pick them up after the CCA lessons...


In fact, my boy's CCA starts tomorrow cos he has chosen to join CO last year.. as his CCA
