2013 Sec 1 Discussions

Maybe times are different and now sec school is different fr mine or maybe becos I blur blur student but I was ok with the increased in subjects from 4-8 during my time. I indicated a new sec school as 1st choice becos blur blur and I thought all school are the same. Of course my score was nowhere near 260 heehee. I remembered I flipped thru all the new subject texts eagerly. I love lab but was stumped by velocity, acceleration but ok lah, I preferred literature and history to science. The only difference is the break time bah, I think during my time, break was more regular. I loved staying back in school for computer lab session and school newsletter, learning something new.
It was only JC time that my breaks were irregular and I ate whenever I can but I quite like this becos less people around, don’t need to queue hahahaha. I think uni time lagi worse but I was in Arts and Social Science faculty so ok lah, I was able to plan long breaks evil evil evil. Maybe learning was more fun during my time or maybe I too blur Liao LOL.
Now as SAHM, wkdays and school term, I skipped brekkie, lunch hr is at 11am or 2pm. If I want I pop a biscuit or whatever. I should be thin but still obese. I think the fat I gained fr my last pregnancy keeps me going heehee.
What’s my point for this long rambling post on a sun morning? Maybe all the posts abt sec life got me thinking abt me as a student. -
Just sharing my DC’s cases regarding school lunch hour.
For primary school, school ends at 1pm with morning recess.
For secondary school, lunch hour at 1:30pm with morning recess at around 9:30 - 10:00am. Lunch at 1:30pm is a little late, but it is still ok since my DC eat at the canteen during recess. -

I do agree that expecting growing kids to wait until 2+ or 3pm to have lunch is ridiculous. Which office worker would stand for that? I actually wrote to MOE last year to complain, and got the usual 'thank you for your feedback, we will look into it' letter, but nothing gets done. Maybe more people should write in too?
Hubby works till late hour...but he said he has air con...so it wasn't so bad...goes out for lunch at 12...the hot sun right up there but hey, he has air con when he returns to the office. Our kids eat at 215pm...that is ridiculous and mind you, they do not enjoy a leisure one but quickie one bcos of homework and tests to learn.
MOE, you get the idea? -

But so many P6 kids are staying in school till quite late because of supplementary classes, so maybe the change in hours isn't really so great?

Haha! Maybe after Punggol East By-election, PAP or MOE will take better note of your feedback.
Perhaps, you try writing to them again?

If MOE does respond, that would be so pathetic…bcos it goes to show that fear factor has awakened those sitting up there.

Looks like MOE has already been given the 'death sentence'. :sad:

Maybe from a blur student I have become a blur mum.
dd1 has CCA since P1, this yr P2. She wakes up at abt 630am or 645am. She has brekkie before she steps into school. The brekkie is at home if she wakes up at 630am or along the way to school if she wakes up at 645am. We take public transport but we do not eat on the mrt train.
She has recess at 10am, she has her fav to choose from, laksa, school version of economical rice, sushi, corn or fruits.
Days without CCA, she’s off at 135pm, ok lah, the above selection should fill the 3 hrs before lunch.
Days with CCA, 2 days, I will bring lunch to her. Her CCA starts at 2.15pm, a quick lunch and off she goes. I’m also ok lah, the amt I pack will last her for 2 hrs and later if she wants she can have a small snack before dinner.
Growing wise, she’s the tallest in her class even among boys. Like me when I was young, she’s underweight. I have tried means and ways to fatten her up but no success. So I guess like me, maybe she will only gain weight when she gets married and later pregnant LOL. -
My DC kids will have food and a packet of milk from the canteen during recess. The p3 one will pack extra snack to eat in the bus on the way home. School ends at 1.45 and he is home around 3 when he takes his lunch. Elder one does not pack additional food but reaches home slightly earlier.
The silver lining for me is they are normally very hungry when they reach home and will tend to eat more and faster. Everything taste better too. -

Yes, yes. But dd1 eats during recess so the speed of eating and amt of food has not increased for me case :rotflmao:
