30 assessment books?!?!? That's horrible
I will be very unhappy if I'm the kid too...
Yes, play is very important.
Maybe these parents focus a lot on the IQ portion of bringing up their kids. But many forget that the life skills that make a kid successful as an adult is not IQ only.
I wonder if the other parts of the world are like that too? When we were young, our teachers used to say that in Taiwan and Japan it is very competitive, even when schooling. -
yup. 30 ab’s is terrible.
Read an article somewhere on the net recently about this teenager in the Uk who was very bright. However, he suffered some mental disorder and went out and killed someone because he was bored. He stabbed some nurse 72 times and when the police arrested him, he even said he felt nothing and was surprised that the nurse died.
Agree that life skills, and mental balance is equally important and many parents miss that out. -
tamarind:
Yes the schools are also responsible for adding pressure to the student. I think they are killing the child's passion for learning, not nurturing it.
No offence. But some parents would be complaining if the schools do not conduct enough revision with the kids...hehe -
hi tamarind,
My daughter is also in kindergarten 1 and every week there will be a list of 5-7 words of spelling and homework of about 3-10pgs.
Spelling words includes aeroplane, basket etc...
I think not only PCF standard is high, basically now the education standard in Singapore is very high. We send our kids to school for education but the teachers conveniently throw the balls back to parents -
guiltymummy,
where is your gal studying? -
Hi kaitlynangelica,
My gal is in Learning Seeds Ctr(partial montessori with yamaha music) -
oic…where is learning seeds located? Sounds interesting that they use yamaha music. My k1 gal doesn’t have spelling but she has quite a tonne of worksheets which she brings home from time-to-time.

Hi kaitlynangelica,
Learning Seeds is located at PSA Club near ViVo city. Just enrolled my gal in Mar'08 and saw some improvement. My gal attended a church kindergarten for 2yrs before the switch. Learning Seeds have their own compound. There's a mixture of foreigners and locals. Their fees are reasonable.(In fact its cheap) There's also a montessori room and yamaha music corner. They actually engaged a montessori and yamaha teacher from outside. I like the director as she is friendly and showed me around and answer to all my queries before I enrolled. Hee.. Till now, they still didnt collect any payment for her sch fees, deposit, uniform and transport. (almost 3 mths liao) Not so money face unlike other schools. In fact, I just called them up to ask them about deduction of payment from my bank a/c :shock: you may check from their website http://learningseedscdc.com/ -
kaitlynangelica,
FYI, their ratio for my gal class(K2) is abt 1:10 if I am not wrong. -
guiltymummy,
how much you paying? Full -day or half -day?
