It's not easy to find a good speech classes...

I just heard there is a grade exam set by UK Trinity Drama and Speech Examinations, just like piano, violine exam.

This enrichment center has related training for P4&P5 students. I called this center, 80% teachers are from UK. The rests are mostly from US, Austrilia, and 2 of their teachers are local.

I don't know whether I should enroll my DD for this center or not...time seems not enough leh...

P2 boy <$200

oer mth about
1. $130++ for chinese enrichment
2. $60 for swimming

but my dh said the opportunity cost of me being a SAHM is already way higher than having more enrichment. :roll:

Hubby told me if I go back to work, kids will need tuition for more subjects...on top of that, need to hire a maid as well...so I'm now maid-cum-tutor.

Deep down, i'm sure you know your DH is right after all.

Hahaa.. aren't we SAHMs all multi-taskers of diff professions at home? :lol:
Maid will help out in terms of those nonsensical in out chores that never ends
so that you can concentrate on managing your family time while balancing
working full time. By not having to do chores, quality time is enhanced.

The only thing we spend on is mainly DD1's violin lesson... for now.
May need to outsource for Maths with #3 coming soon, dunno have time
anot to maintain. DD2 learns very well with me and most times a
very independent learner... hence for her it's all DIY. She used
to do piano but the interest was shortlived.

So current damage only : 100+ (for my pri sch gg girls)

My DD will be P3 next year, just send her to Enopi United Square 2. I should send her earlier...K2 will be the best age to develop her math ability there.
