My child got the Edusave Certificate for Academic Achievement for this year… can I check, is the certificate based on school results/Prelim result or the actual PSLE result?

Hi, I have not been able to access the S1 posting website last night and today. I get the temporarily unavailable message. I am overseas now. May I know if it is working for local users?

thanks!

Anyone went for the NUS open house? Got any review?


It clashed with SMOPS at Hwa Chong which started late, by the time finished 1pm+, have to bring hungry children to lunch…

if you are able to spend an hour a day teaching your child how to read and write that would be far more beneficial than sending the child for a dyslexia program. DAS actually conducts courses to equip parents to teach their child.

Look at page 2 RESOURCED SCHOOLS FOR DYSLEXIA SUPPORT

umm this is a 2006 list. I'm sure the number of schools on the list has expanded.

I know of one school (SAP) where they tried to discourage my dyslexic student from dropping CL (Chinese Language). So, the poor boy had to go through the first few years failing his CL. Of course, his family knew it was really tough for the boy, so they did not stress him out. He too had made up his mind that he was not going to stress over CL. Just focused on Maths, Science and English. Finally, in P5, the MOE approved of him dropping CL. [/quote](edit: There are SAP primary schools, wahhh, i am out of touch). The application to exempt from mother tongue is made to MOE though the school. If MOE approves, nothing the school can do about it. Of course the primary school can still request the exempted students to sit in the class and participate while the Chinese lesson is going on.

A school would be thrilled to exempt a weak performer from MT as exemption means that the weak student will not affect its PSLE results. There is no reason for the school to discourage the student from dropping CL. (unless the school believes that his poor performance is due to lack of effort)

I find it hard to believe that if a student is diagnosed with dyslexia in P1, he apply P1, P2, P3, P4 to MOE, cannot get exemption, then suddenly P5 get exempted. Maybe the truth is that the parents never got him tested for dyslexia until P5.

chess-kidz at upper bukit timah has 3 day chess camps during school holidays, the time I went, the newcomers class was K1-P1.


Playing with children similar age is important for their interest and development. If someone would organise a weekly friendly chess meeting for pre-schoolers at a condo function room, I would bring my kids!
