emoh:I think there were some adjustments, year end holidays would now start on Nov 16 insteadhttp://www.moe.edu.sg/schools/terms-and-holidays/2013/that means SA2 next year will be earlier :faint:

TeachingMyToddlers.com:I have only been around here a few weeks but I just wanted to say I love this place already! I feel like my parenting philosophies are so much more in line with so many people here than with those in my own community that don't take education seriously enough. I can't believe there are SO MANY unabashedly \"kiasu\" like-minded parents on this forum! :grphug: Maybe I need to move to Singapore instead. Moving to Singapore is a good idea :rahrah:

Yes, Mrs Lee is one teacher who’s very clear in her explanation. Even now that my girl is in sec 1 and not taught by her anymore, she wishes all teachers are as loud and clear in their explanation as Mrs lee. Anyway, my friends just called Mrs lee for slots but her classes are full, except for one new p6 class. They’ve got to be on wait list. Like what one parent said, unlike other centres, mrs Lee does not ask other teachers to teach, other than another trained teacher, who helps her with p1/p2. So mrs lee is not a centre - she’s the only tutor for upper primary. Thus, the quality is there. Just my 2cents.

Lynn2010:USgrad:I think the issue isn't so much whether a degree is recognized, but rather how it compares with other degrees. An NUS degree may be recognized but chances are you won't compare as favorably with a summa cum laude graduate from Harvard applying for the same job. A correspondent course or part time degree may be recognized but if you're competing against a graduate from the local uni or those who have studied on campus in a recognized overseas uni for an entry level position, chances are you'll not be viewed as favorably. Unless you have relevant or related experience such that you can bring in expertise, contacts etc that will be valuable to the company. IMO, a part time degree from those PEIs is usually only of value if you stay within the company and they needed you to have the qualification to justify a promotion, or in very specialized areas not offered in the local unis. If you're planning to use it to apply for an entry level graduate position, it'll be tough.Absolutely agree!!! Distant not distant doesnt matter much. Whether self study or not doesnt matter too. What if someone self study for example 6 O level subjects and gets straight As versus someone study through a very popular/good school but get As & Bs?no lynn, i think distant or on campus does make a difference... if both of same qualifications, but 1 on campus and the other distant, i think the on campus wins if all other deciding factors of the 2 people are the same.... having to compete with someone with a similar qualification may not be rare as i have compared many times when i was with a recruitment centre earlier...

Question from a newbie here, how do you like a post?

Wow~ I think that my tutors are quite good. They do not come empty-handed. They came with their own red and blue pens, notes, papers, etc…Sometimes the tutors are late but it’s ok for me. Normally if they start late, they will auto end the lesson late. Also, sometimes my tutors are on time but they still end late to do more for my kid and never charge extra. Think we really need to hold on to the good tutors then?
