Hi,

I agree with your thinking. If your child knows your thoughts, he or she will be so proud of you as a parent.

CentralControl:

I dont really think that we should just judge which schools to the top 10, I mean, the top 10 tell me my child will have a high chance of being smart, but at the same time, it also tells me that the child will have little time for fun. The top 10 doesn't tell me if my child will grow up to have morals. So parents, I really think we should not just judge a school by its position. I mean, I believe schools like Cath High or SJI (mission schools) give a very strong moral character to its students. But schools like RI or HCI, I think don't give much attention to the morals of its students, they rather give more attention to their academics. Also, the top 10 only remain top 10 because the students that enroll in to them are already top10 material. Give those top ten students with a failing PSLE, they wont be top ten anymore I assure you. I will enroll my child in SJI btw. I believe its the perfect school for my boy, he likes it, I like it, and I believe SJI shall turn him into a real man. someone to take care of me when I grow old.

Also, I believe the complete saying was: Ri boys will rule singapore, ACS boys will own singapore, and SJI boys will serve singapore.

Suddenly I remembered my nightmares with my kids' 3rd lang :


4. Poor kids eating SuperCoffee Mix instant noodle at MOELC if they take the first session of 3rd lang because no time for lunch

KiWee:

1. My son withdrew his French in Sec 2 before the year-end exam


2. My daughter withdrew her Japanese after 6 months into the course.

During the Sec 1 parents meeting, the sec sch said that most dropped 3rd lang due to heavy sch commitments.

Although we knew that it is very hard to sustain 3rd language course for 4 years, we let the kids go through the course to see how far they can go.

No harm in extra learning. But the text books are expensive, though the course iis free.

Thanks. Though humourously put but his is quite real

Mine also dropped Japanese after 3 months. Reasons:
1. First few weeks: Love the lessons! But teacher very fierce hor?
2. Missed one class: CCA teacher write letter to tell MOELC that she has got to stay in school for cheerleading. I was furious.
3. Missed 2nd class: CCA teacher wrote another letter to ask her to help to some stuff... forgot what.
4. Missed 3rd class: Competition
5. Don't dare to go to Jap class anymore... teacher will scold and I will fail. Don't know how to catch up!

There is no emphasis or priority given to Third Lang. in school. So why introduce it in the first place?
