Hi mummies,


Heard students in Tao Nan are relatively more stressful... is that true?
I'm really in a delima choosing between Tao Nan & Ngee Ann... since I'm staying within 1km from TN, didn't want to waste this advantage (though I'm in Phase 2C), but then worried my kids will be stressful in \"top school environment\".
Pls share your view. Thanks.

I am told by a parent with kids in both schools, that Tao Nan is relatively more stressful than Ngee Ann.

So quiet here?


DD is going P1 next Jan. So happy!

When will we next hear from the sch? When is orientation? Are parents allowed to accompany our kids on the first 3 days of sch?

Would appreciate more info on P1! Many thanks!

Hi!


I have two DDs in TNS. P1 & P4.

For the P1, I found that they were very relaxed. Nothing much for them to do. Every time, asked her about homework. Always say ‘no’.

For the P4, she is in GEP class. So far, she seem like very relaxed also. Quite worried. Because from the forum here, I heard that GEP class are very stressed and busy. But, she was not.

So, I think for the first two years, P1 & P2, they are quite relaxed.

No, my two DDs are just so so…


My Pr 1 DD, was just too relaxed, don’t know what is serious.

The P4 DD, last term didn’t get good result for her SA1. Now, she has two remedies for Maths and science. She seem like very happy to have these two classes on.

Hi everyone,


yes I hear from my neighbours and sil that tns lower pri very laid-back n no homework. That’s a pleasant surprise for a school like tao nan. But Im all for this system as I think it will b v stressful for young kids who just started formal school.

Btw what’s GEP? What does it entail?

Leanne,
wow does that mean your elder is p6 this year and the younger one is p1 next year?
