hi parens:

i don’t think it’s free , in my case . the school { LSP } Coordinator , what they do , first they ran a Questionnaire with parents , two running record observations ( in the class, 3 lesson ),and a symptom checklist done by the class teacher . details of the questionnaire , checklist and the running ra parents record observations are attached together with this document . they’ll gv refer letter go to polyclinics ( fees $4.80 ) that the DR’ll write u a letter go to ( KK hsp or NUH hsp PSYCHIATRIST ) depents on ur DR recommend (fees $37 up ) .

hi parents ,jedamum ,

Another reason u know why i like the new school more that old school . BCOs in the old school, the principal there i DON't even know How is she Look Like ? she only stay in her office . he...hee.. ( since my son been to studying 3 Yr there ). in Nan Hua we often see the Principal ( recess time or early morning ) keep in touch with students or parents . when raining day who was helping to oper the door (car ) 4my child . DO u happy ? DO u Feel Touchful ? Could u imagine how is she ? i sure u 'll fully support her , when do u know her WELL . She really obliging and friendly to parents . this pleased me most . she be looked up to by everybody .. thank to Mrs Lee hui feng. :lol: :lol: :lol:

hi jedamum ,

u r right ,i feel it is my duty to do so . what i do , we hired an ex-teacher at home to teach him 3subj ( since he was 5 yr old 3 time per week ) except Higher chi ( bcos i able to coach him ) I do notice that the new school there much better that the old school .E.g all he subj teacher always keep in touch with me and encourge my son , even they've know him is ( ADHD ) child . they never ever look down or give up on him . i felt so grateful ,we're gratified with the result ( my elder son ) . bcos their cordiality comforted us ( teachers and Principal ) .
:lol: :lol:

i hv something to share my exp, after enrol my second son p1 to my DREAM SCHOOL ( this yr Nan Hua ) under 2C phases with one of my girl fri her second dg . i wanted to transfer my elder son P4 and elder dg P5 ( my fri ) from previous school - clementi pri school ( both of them in the top class ) to Nan Hua but a bit worry bcos we've know , it is vy hard to get into the elite school except whose was P1 child . the Principal said we can copie the past yr exam record book to over she may consider , after one week later , ( both of us get the gd news from Nan Hua , we get it ! we're so happy ) i would proudly say it is a nice school and my son enjoying it vy much , the Principal is a nice lady she always having smiling face in school who tell them alot of character building stories . ( l even do PV in Nan hua i' m deeply grateful to Nan Hua Principal 2give a chance 4my elder son . i thought child will be able to get into better class , together with other children who r more keen to do well in school r vy important when they're young,bocs teachers teaching best classes hv more time to teach the content , and beyond , bcos the kids will hand in work on time and pay fully attention ( 95% ) during lesson time . BASICALLY , the children in the best classs r taught more and faster bcos they r able to absord more and thus learn more , on top of the fact that they DON'T waste teachers' time on DISCIPLINE and other petty , admin matters . MORE teachers teaching the best class would also stretch them by teaching them thing learnt at higher level . all the parents DON't give up <TRY> :lol:
