Hi funz,
I like yr 2 weeks before, no gaming Rule.
I tried that, but was overturned cause my dd was totally filled with his brim with study, project, hw and more !
Even before his Common tests ! I really really pity him ! There are so many times I regretted choosing that stupid school !
Only recently, do I realise that our boys took to gaming on their iphones or games on computer ( bought, no online ) cause they have had a very tiring day and there are no alternatives to let out their stresses.
I had brought him out to the playground and exercise grounds, getting him to fool around the monkey bars and exercising away ! We dont live in condominium.
I think exercising is a far better way of letting go of stresses rather than playing games !
God, please help our children !

RE: Are PS4s and IPhones banes of your life
Lol ! I agree with you wholeheartedly regarding the daddy part !
My hubby was so … enthusiastic like an overwhelming toddler on my child first year of Secondary school that he pre-planned, pre-prepare every technological gadgets for his son, namely the lightest and most economical laptop and a smartphone !
he seems to be positioning himself as the “friend” and “angel” to my son. I, however, protested vehemently against having a smartphone for my son, especially so an android !
It’s only after a month into his school, my son came back with " Mummy, I seriously need a smartphone to “work” in this school" Mind you, it’s " working " in this school not studying in the school ! Changing his perspective, only stamp the need for a smartphone for studying in that damn school ! And so an Iphone was bought for my son, cause they are more child-protection in its software with Parental Control.
However, everything spiral out of control in the hands of these boys ! With WA for group discusssions, social media, etc etc and ALL kinds of WA groups filled with nonsensical talks of some brainless boys !
Yes I do set up the Iphone with all its parental control, set guidelines on the downloading of games ( no gore, no blood, no sexual inuendos, etc etc ). And above all, my son’s Iphone belongs to us, the parents, NOT him.
One of his teacher do ask me " Arent u intruding into his privacy?"
My answer ? He’s my son, he’s a teenager, furthermore, if he is clean, there is no need to hide from his parents. Only the darkness hides from the Light. If a person is upright, he should not fear the light.
The teacher shut up.
It is a GOOD thing I set the guidelines for my child, cause last year, after some random checks on his Iphone and my observations of his state of mind, I discovered he was very down in his spirits, because of a friend that he befriended, who is causing my child to be depressed.
That boy has a lot of family issues ! Guess what ?
With the school’s mantra of " Help each other, boys ! All of you are friends ! "
Any parents could have guessed what happened to my son. And I took issue with the administration of the school,
setting the crazy boy straight, and the school mantra straight !
Think of that, if I had believed in the world’s viewpoint of " respecting the privacy of your teenager"
what would have happened to my son ?
The answer is straightforward and easy. -

RE: Catholic High School
Hi snggy
I guess it depends on the CCA. In my opinion, this “school’s” emphasis on CCA isa mixed-bck of worms.
Apparently,they placed a lot of emphsize on their CCA. My dd is in the aethetics, sometimshe’s up to his brim with stress and business over the CCA. AND I do noticed, this school DO CHOKE the students to death sometimes. With their lousy time tables of exam and Common TEsts periods, “coinciding” with each CCA so nicely, that the students only has one week of
“rest” between busy periods of their CCA and common tests !
When Common Tests takes up percentage of the overall year end contribution, the CCA still continues on for Term 1 and
Term 3. However the CCA stops during Term 2, why cause its mid-year ? There is inconsistency, cause Term1, Term 2 and Term 3 pickup 15% each of the total year ! So why only no CCA during the mid year ? No sense, right ? Full of inconsistency right ?
We need to pray that our dds are not killed by this school lousy time management ! Whoever in charge of these time-planning are insidiously planning to murder our children !
So if you are talking about the teachers do not really bother about the CCA. Thank God, they are the angels in the school ! -
RE: Are PS4s and IPhones banes of your life
Hi !
My son is also in secondary 3 now, IP stream.
As he’s in the IP school, the usage of the iphone or smartphone is proliferic. The school teachers uses the Whatsapp to pass their messages, the boys uses their WhatsApp in place of talking with each other. They uses the WhatsApp again ! for their group discussion work and so and so forth.
Again, the teachers uses technology to their advantage ( they uses WhatsApp, Google Docs, and what have yous ) to send messages, homeworks and sometime worksheets to the students.
We only allow my son to start using the iphone only in Secondary 1, and he’s now literally stuck to that damn thing !
Be it for his study, his project works or his social media.
I regretted putting my son into that damn school in Bishan. The school culture is propagating the use of smartphones, be it in school or off school. for the past 3 years, there is only A reason for my son to get scolding from us; his Iphone usage.
Thus the Iphone is literally a double edged sword in his life, he needs it for his study cause of that damn school,
using it sooo … frequently that it’s literally defines him, disrupting life and family ties. Of course, there are many times which I am very tempted to throw that expensive damn thing into the rubbish chute …
My advise, as a base precaution, make sure that the school yr child went in is not one which uses technology to its fullest ! -
RE: Any Highly recommended English tutor for secondary 3
Hi
I’m pondering whether to get a English tutor for my son who’ll be in Sec 3 next year.
Pretty OK for his English. Cause his school combined Literature and English together, most time
according to him, his Literature pull up his overall scores.
He probably needs help with answering his Comprehension questons.
Where can he go to or source good guide for Comprehension ?
Appreciate any kind help and directions. -
