RE: 2008 Term 4 School Holiday Ideas
I checked the website and they no longer in SIM. They are holding the Creative Writing Course at Hougang n goldhill centre. And the date cant meet my boy’s schedule…maybe will send him in June… $200 for five days three hrs is very affordable. Will they have classes in June?

RE: Comparing Chinese Enrichment (Primary/Preschool)
[Moderator's note: Topics merged.]
Hi,
Im intending to send my 4yo boy to chinese class. Main aim is to expose him to the language...he used to speak like an ang mo. He is stronger in his command of english. I sent my elder one to Jiang for the intensive holiday program last june ... it was pretty good...so wondering if they have nursery program. Any one of u have sent ur kids there for this age group?
Any other recommendations would be helpful... -

RE: All About SAP Schools
Which school are u particularly interested in? Even in SAP schools, standards of chinese varies. Hong Wen , Nanyang, Ai Tong and Tao Nan are those I know that have high standard for their chinese.
If i had understood it correctly, it’s at P5 that the kids can opt out of higher chinese. Advice from teacher : Just let the child take it as far as he can… unless u see him / her struggling, it’s probably time to pull him/ her out. It wouldnt be useful to pull him out after a yr of higher chinese… becoz i myself was tempted to. I thought abt it this way: what values am i teaching him, to give up after a short try? So i just continue to support him in any way i could : financial by getting tutor, emotional: when he feels the going is tough to encourage him. His chinese teacher actually told me he cried in school twice becoz he had to write faster n much more, teacher made them do BI JI, extra notes for the class. And most importantly to create the environment for him, borrow chinese books from library , buy too, get him to watch chinese news… even to get him to read chinese papers…
