goodness me this is not right!

once again, thankful I don’t have one.

I heard some complaints from a friend about the teachers being very fierce, but I’m sure not all of them are so.

I see more and more children sporting glasses. I think this trend is growing at an alarming rate. In fact, it is almost becoming the norm. I see the schools are teaching children to take \"eye break\". But I suspect the main culprits to be mobiles phones. I myself after using mobile phones to play games, find my eyesight going squiggly after a while.


Anyone's child already wearing glasses here?

According to this http://www.iovs.org/cgi/reprint/45/9/2943.pdf, there is a high correlation between myopia and high IQ.

Quote from the paper:
\"An interesting observation is that nonverbal IQ may be a stronger risk factor for myopia compared with books read per week...

Singapore Chinese children aged 8 to 12 years witn association with myopia independent of near work in young Singapore students, though the mechanism underlying the nonverbal IQ-myopia relationship is not well understood. An interesting observation is that myopia (SE at least 0.5 D) is not significantly associated with books read per week, after controlling for other confounders, including IQ. Higher myopia (SE at least 3.0 D), however, remains associated with books read per week, after controlling for other factors, including IQ.\"

In English for the rest of us, it simply says that

1. A naturally smart kid is more likely to be myopic, not just because he/she reads more books per week, or because he/she has smarter parents;

2. Reading lots of books does not necessarily improve non-verbal IQ, but may be a cause of deeper myopia of > 3.0D

A bit convoluted, but interesting findings.

Wow.. interesting, i guess the stereotype that kids with glasses are smarter may be true after all!

Finally ....

:?

do u take photo of the food u eat?

I am seeing more pple taking photos when the food arrives at the table.

My kids especially! Makes me proud that they want to show off my cooking but seriously, just eat!

Did this for my boy, if you really want your child to get in, it’s worth it

I think if a child is gifted their teachers will definitely highlight, we can’t say for ourselves, of course we will think our own kids are gifted.
