      As a ks parent, I think I can understand what you're saying. For ds, PH decided to do away with exams for P1 & 2s. P1 to P2 is enbloc. No streaming. There'll only be one SA at the tail-end of P2 for purpose of streaming into P3. I know there's disquiet amongst some parents about not having exams; but for me, I'm delightfully happy that this is the case. :boogie:
      So envy your honeymoon period!! :drool:

      But hor...just a word of caution.. .from what I have been hearing in PH thread and also all the other inputs leading to the ongoing petition, you have to just keep tab that your DS will not be suddenly overwhelmed at during the P2 SA2.
      markfch:
      You know, after I read your post, I purposefully reminded ds that it doesn't matter whether or not he does well in exams. What is impt is the effort he puts in. DS is also a 'proud' kid (same as your dd). I don't want him get discouraged when he flunks an unreasonably difficult exam in future.

      Must be hard on you to see your dd feeling so miserable despite the effort she put in. Something is wrong with our education system (that includes all the other popular schs, not just Rulang).
      I also told DD that it is okay so long as she has done her best and she learns from her mistakes. But don't want to overdo it that she thinks it is ok to just give up if something is perceived to be impossible.. you know what I mean... ya boi, tough balance indeed...
      markfch:
      The buyer took a 15 min look and then offered on the spot. Later on, found out that he wanted his kids to be able to walk to Rulang.
      15min!! Super!! :dancing: :imcool: :boogie:

        Champion:
        Sorry, I \"intrude\" here to kapoh kapoh πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ ...


        I am staying at Jurong West, 2 streets behind Jurong Point. Very frequent, I have people knocking on my doors (usually in the late evenings) asking,\"Excuse me, may I check do you have any intention to sell your house? Also, I want to ask is your house within 2 km from Rulang Primary School?\" Haha...when I told them that I am \"out of the 2 km\" radius, immediately a disappointment look on their face and they walked off without even say, thank you or Good-Bye! :lol:

        I must admit that Rulang is a very hot sort-after primary school in our neighbourhood. Almost 8 out of 10 neighbours/friends that I spoke to - will want their kids to enroll into this school :boogie:
        Hi Champion,

        Don't say like that la. All is welcome to come play here anytime. :dancing:

        Wah!! House to house check... but alamak... must say thank you and goodbye la. :lol:

        West Grove is also very hot in that area right?

          Rulang is such hot !? :yikes:
          But not all parents can accept that kind of \"drilling\" and \"grilling\" ...
          Hi starlight1968sg,

          Sounds like you are very satisfied with your DDs journey in Rulang. :boogie:
          cwc:
          Yeah....Rulang is hot....at least around the west area.
          My DD's previous school, every year, the top few will try to transfer to West Grove/Rulang. I know of one gal who first transferred to West Grove, 2 months later to Rulang.
          I dunno, but seriously I do see some difference and despite feeling a bit xiong for my DD with all the drill & grill, overall I think it's a positive effect πŸ˜“
          Wah!! change twice in 2 months, poor gal need to keep adapting and uniform & books :moneyflies:

          But I suppose we always want what is best for our kids. :love:

              On the spot? :scared:


              Psst... they were given advance duration to prepare one or two i suppose..
              Or issit really like spontaneous? Impromptu? There and then? :faint:

              Yup, you heard me right. On the spot. Spontaneous. Impromptu. There and then. :nailbite:

              Not even thrown some titles to work some content with at all? Wow.. :faint:
              That's top school for u, huh? The want to see magic in children just like that?
              Or perhaps they expected parents who send their children to top schools have
              jolly well been pre-pre-pre-prepared with lotsa enrichments hence come in to P1
              must straight away know what to do? :faint:
              RRMummy:
              DD not stress and not interested in practising. But I sure am. I don't blame her, after this whole 'SA1' dragging for weeks she is really sian already...
              Yes. Really can't blame them. :snuggles: They sian doing top school paper
              revision at home. Sian kanna nag by parents... sian kanna the mouthfuls of
              reminders to be more careful or not to be careless (whichever way it's being
              put across)... sian that they don't even know (at this juncture) why the hell they
              are even doing all this work. :rant: So yesss.. they very sianz. Da poor dears.. :hugs:

              Next worry. Result time, huh? :scared:

              *chant* ... no expectations... no expectations... best effort counts... :xedfingers:

                    Nope, no potential titles given. CL teacher gave them a topic for practice but has said that that is for practice. School gave some guidelines and rubrics but no titles.. Same goes for EL.. so at home we just tikam-tikam and try to spot question lor... but you know la can be anything right... haiz... :idea:

                    But teachers tells us not to worry they will be lenient... this is the first year they are doing this .. so DD's batch become guinae pigs.. :gloomy:

                    Mama now scared she will also be sian since despite all that then still can't do so what's the point...

                    :hi5: Yup, best effort counts!! Anyway, once exams over, no use in worrying.. we will go all out to chill out first... :boogie:

                    After CA1, I have learnt to have no expectations. :roll: I will use the same way to gauge especially for Maths.. minus all the 'impossible' questions how did she do. If she still can cope and not struggling to float, then me :dancing: All attempts and correct marks to handle the impossible is bonus. :imcool:

                    But whatever the case, I will absord the stress and then plan how to stagger the exposure gradually like last sem... it is a long uphill battle... half year down 5 and half more to go...
