anyone know what we have to find out or look out for when we attend open house?

thank you

Listen to principal talk. To get a feel on the school direction and the school leadership. Make a judgement if you think this person is capable of bringing the school to greater heights. If the discipline of the school will be good under his or her leadership.

Then focus on spending time talking to students and parents of existing students. They give you more info than whatever the school is trying to showcase. Talk to the Teachers. Are they approachable? Do they give you a good feeling that you can trust your child to be educated by them?

Talk to the students. You get a clearer picture about the school. Teens are frank and speaks their mind. Ask them how they feel about their school, their Teachers, who their favourite teacher is etc. You can gather information like who are the better and more popular Teachers in school. Ask them about their experience as a student in the school, how much opportunities are they given for activities beyond the classroom etc. Their sharing will give u very clear insight about the school, beyond the ‘show’ the school puts up for u.

Talk to parents of existing students. They are usually around. Either parents support group members (who have a lot of inside info about the school) or parents who are hanging around because their children are helping out at the open house. They can share with you the truth about the school, the good, the bad and the ugly. Ask them about their children’s experiences. Ask them their opinions and thoughts about the school as a parent, ask them what they think about the opportunities given to their child and if they think it’s sufficient.

Kiddos know that we do monitor them and we told them never to block us. It is for their safety and security. And if they are not doing anything that breaks the rules and what is agreed upon, they should not have any issues with us knowing where they went.


Even for monitoring the sites they visit, etc. Explained to them that there are many online stuff that appears innocent but are actually entrapments for young impressionable minds like theirs. Again, they muss trust that we parents are only looking out for their safety and well-being, not that we do not trust them. Told them their father is even tempted to monitor their granma's online activities as she was almost scammed a few times.

I did not warn my boy not to block us. I just assume he will not block us! lol

How do you monitor the sites they visit? An App?
So far I just randomly check his phone website history and messages. Have not found anything to be concern about. But I am pretty sure they are savvy enough to delete what they don't want us to see before getting home. His only window to try funny tricks will be during his bus journey from school to home. Once he gets home, I am at home, no chance to try any nonsense. I am going to assume no chance to try nonsense in school too.

If my daughter knows I'm checking her movements, she will switch off whatever GPS or location on her mobile phone. She is good at all this...in fact both she and son are very updated with IT gadgets...definitely inherited from daddy.


Just the other day I reminded her time is very very precious and year end exams are approaching. So she has to be hardworking and do well. Usually I don't want to stress her but she does slack occasionally.

My son knows that we are able to track his location. We did not do it secretly. It works both ways, I can track him, he can track us too. So we tell him, as a family, we don't hide our location from each other, nothing to hide if not doing anything wrong. So far, he is not complaining and has yet to turn off the location/GPS. Probably because he has no intention to go where he is not suppose to, so he does not care that he is being track. Maybe he not at the 'rebellious' stage yet. But I love the app. It's convenient for me to estimate the time he will get home so that I can prepare a hot meal for him (not too early, not too late, just nice). Whenever I have to pick him up, he is also able to track me and know how far away I am from his location. Thus he can wait inside the building and walk out only when I am almost at the pick up point. No need to whatsapp, call or message each other. Just check the app and be ready.

My daughter just broke her iphone and she was crying and begging us to replace it. I would like to take this opportunity to start anew by first letting her go without a phone for 1 week. Then I would like to be able to keep track of exactly what she does on the phone and be able to track her location etc. Any parents can share any ideas on how I can do that? I am not really a techie person and I am on the android system which makes it a bit difficult to track an iphone?

I am using Life360 to track my son's location. Just download the app. Available from itune or google play store. So far accuracy is 95%-98%.
