    • RE: All About Autism

      On what basis will the mainstream primary school reject kids with Autism?

      DS2 (4yrs old) seems to have mild Autism (his teacher has also acknowledge this, and thankfully is taking steps to help rectify). My 1st appointment with the specialist is not till July.

      He does not like to socialise, enjoys routine stuff, can be bad temper when things don’t go his way, and does not know how to talk well (will repeat the question you asked him). Instuctions wise, sometimes he understands, and there are times he doesn’t seem to, though he can do some work by himself, and memorise those short stories we read to him.

      Kinda worry.

    • RE: All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

      hquek:
      snoorks:

      Just wanna check, if by end June, one still have not manage to clock the minimum 40hrs (maybe about 30plus hrs), is the person still eligible for the Phase 2C PV balloting? If it is Yes/No, does this appply to all schools or dependable on individual school?


      Phase 2C is open to all, no PV is required. If one has clocked the 40 hours, they move up to an earlier phase (2B).

      Under 2C, (actually 2B also the same), distance is key. Spaces are given based on distance - balloting ONLY if there are more applicants than spaces in that DISTANCE category.

      Thanks for replying, and I'm sorry for the error as I meant Phase 2B. Will this person still be eligiable for the Phase 2B (under the PV scheme) selection? Thanks

    • Hair Loss

      Anyone having this problem? Am currently using Phytho hair loss treatment and Sunsilk Hair Fall Shampoo and conditioner. Does it help? What other methods to prevent hair loss?


      Is the use of comb important? Heard that using those jade comb is good for the hair? Is that true or just urban legend?

    • RE: All About Kids' Eye-sight

      Has anyone tried the Visual Theraphy eyewear (from Guardian)? Does it help to improve the eyesight? Am "forcing" DS to wear it now. Hope it helps.

    • RE: [Jurong West] Primary Schools

      ChiefKiasu:


      The TUR refers to the cumulative take up rate at the end of that specific Phase. Naturally, the TUR should never exceed 100% except in VERY RARE cases involving twins/triplets.

      The APP refers to the number of applicants vying for places available for a given Phase. It can exceed 100% in which case either cut-off or balloting rules apply.
      Thank you

      Hi


      I was reading the Singapore P1 Registration School Balloting History page (http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/jurong-west). Would appreciate some advise on how do I intrepret the result. Mainly the App and Tur columns.

      Confuse with these 2 columns. Take Pioneer Pri School for example, there are 132% App and 100% Tur, so it means there are 132applications for Phase 2C Supp and 100% applied?

      Also, does Phase 2C supp means the extra places left over after all the other Phases (2A-2C)?

      Thanks

    • RE: Cupcakes - Where To Get?

      powermummy:
      Hi mummies,

      just to share some info on cupcakes though.
      i happened to order some cupcakes from Delectable Delites recently for my colleague bday and found that their cupcakes is very delicious and best part is you can customize the theme.
      Thanks for the lead. I called up the owner (Janiviy) and most likely will go with her, since she stays near my place (easier for collection).

      Thanks for the other leads too 😄

    • RE: [Jurong West] Primary Schools

      I have started my 1st PV duty at WG....but after reading some comments about WG here, now having 2nd thought about this. Things that I don't quite like about WG:

      1) seems too academic focus (like grouping based on ability - high, middle, low, can anyone verify if this is still so under the new principal? They are just kids why group them like this (if this grouping is still ongoing), it can be demoralising for those in the low ability. Not as if we are taking about getting promotions in work)

      2) pasting students results (seems true, as the PV duty I just completed was to be the invigilator of a mock test, and it was apparent based on the stuff paste on the front and back of the class, that WG is academic focus. Almost all tags pasted by the students expressed their wishes to score like 240 for PSLE. They even have a chart setting the target of how many students for straight As, how many for 240 points etc)

      DH and I prefer DS to study in a less pressure environment, otherwise he could develop a fear/dislike of studying, which could affect his interest in studying in the long run (sikeli next time go comitt suicide :lol: ).

      Just want to hear more views on WG. Meanwhile, I will still continue to do PV at WG, but now it is more for observing the school and not to let DS enrol in it.

      Also, how about Juying and Corporation primary school? How are they really like?

      Lastly, for Rulang....I decided to drop out of their PV program immediately, after they requested me to write a \"report style\" document on how my contribution will meet their core values, strategic thrusts :!: Piang!! Only do PV still wanna request this and that (if they are part of the Ivy League, I will finish that \"report\" fast and might even laminate it :lol:)!! I can forsee what they \"really want\" for their students :lol: So don't wanna stress myself or DS.
