Rafy:
My son's in P4-4 this year. Computers were an added \"feature\" for those in P4-1, -2, and -3. I'm not sure how this will help them in their grades. I have a tight control of my son's home computer, though. He can only use it only on a need-to basis.My son is in P1 this year and so far it has been positive experience both for him and us as parents.

Not sure about this computer thingy only for top classes in the upper primary... don't like the sound of it. Hope to have more sharings from SAJS parents in this forum. -
Hi everyone,
I’m new to this forum and need some advice. My son just transferred into the St Andrew’s Junior School (we’ve just moved back to Singapore) at P2 and we’re currently staying at just behind Peace Centre (right next to St Margaret’s school).
The school bus operator said he cannot pick my son from school to send him back home as he claims it is "out of the way" and said he can only drop my son along Buffalo Road, and then my son has to find his own way back home! (which is a good 15 min walk and through major traffic roads like Serangoon Road, Selegie Road and Wilkie Road).
Does anyone know of any other transport operators that pick up kids from Saint Andrew’s? Thanks! -

Try the St Andrew's House, next to the swimming pool. My P4 stays there after school. I see at least 2 operators with passenger vans fetching kids home. Go up, check with either Jeff or Clive.Hi everyone,

What do the boys in these 3 classes do or learn with the notebook/netbook/tablet? -
Rafy:
From what I've gathered. They are considered the faster learners, hence the laptops are used to expand their knowledge.Cervelo:

Thanks for the info. I checked with Clive (who was very helpful), but he said that the Boarding House uses the school's main bus operator only, too.
Looks like I have to think of another way out.

Apologies for being frank, if the sch thinks fast learners => use laptops to expand knowledge, i think it's a crappy idea. In this tech age, using computers is a given, slow or fast learners.

In fact that is what I did with my P4. He takes to the tablet pretty comfortably. I bought him that Creative 7in Ziio with the stylus together with a year subscription to a local Chinese portal for him to pick up his Chinese. It works to my satisfaction and there are bonuses like books to read with audio assistance, writing the correct strokes, stuff that interests him not found anywhere else besides books.Cervelo:
