Just called the school to check on my ds class. The clerk mentioned, so many ppl did not receive the letter...


May I know what is written in the letter beside stating the class? They will not send another letter to us.

Even when you go down personally to collect?

This is the letter mine rec'd on monday.

I was looking at the lowest score. I heard of many popular schools that will ask their weakest students to transfer out so that a) those students can learn better at a slower pace b) sch can continue to maintain their high PSLE standard. I wonder whether PH have the same policy too?

DW know of this friend whose kid was in PH many yrs ago. He was an extremely academically weak child but PH persevered with him till the end. The sch's stand at that time was that they are a christian school so they won't give up on anyone. Till this date, dw's friend is still very grateful for the school's support. Not sure whether the sch's stand is still the same now.

Is this an item to buy in the booklist for 2011 P3?

We were not told or asked to buy the e-dict. Not even during the years when my elder boy was in P5/P6.

Hi, from what I understand, such policy of asking v weak students to leave the sch was of past practice in popular schs. Don't think MOE allow such matter to happen these days as many agree that some kids develop at a later stage and is not fair to ask them to leave.....

I can only share that the sch claims that it tries its best to make sure not too many pupils end up with all foundation subjects at PSLE.

It's easier to check characters when student needs to write compo...also one of the models is allowed to be brought into the exam hall (PSLE).

[quote=\"markfch\"]then I explained to him that in life everyone has a choice so we shouldn't force them. DS listened quietly.

Very smart boy.

My P3 boy sometimes also like that. BUT I am the LAW at home, so he got no choice but to listen to me

Guess that's our big difference. I allowed him to stick to his choice. Don't know whether next time will regret or not. Think dw sometimes also beh tahan my method of parenting.

The only time I'll put my foot down firmly is when he is rude cos I can't stand rude kids.[/quote]I am also the LAW at home...my kids have no choice but to listen too.
For me, I need to be firm with my kids and will not tolerate rudeness, telling lies and talking back...breaking any of that will guarantee a good spanking.
