Work hard with your kids. Follow closely what goes on in school.

I always tell my son that even if he has a tutor, use the method which he finds effective and comfortable, be it any subject…whether it is the teacher or tutor who teaches it. If tutor’s method is not as effective, it is ok. He has a choice. But NEVER be forced or threatened by any teacher or tutor. If that happens, let me know. Parents, I think you get what I mean.

Parents were informed about the party via the usual consent form, to indicate if the kid wants to attend or not, showed date, venue etc and asked for payment. It's a cohort thing. Not sure why Janet needs to inform teacher abt her son's interest to attend, maybe what she meant was they had indicated their interest to attend on the consent form. Then kid pay up and just turn up. Don't understand why need teacher to reply? There could be some misunderstanding.

I think the graduation celebration janet was sharing in the other threads shouldn't be the cohort level one you're mentioning leh. Surely a reasonable parent like her (and an esteemed KSP counsellor too) does not expect the sch to contact each and every single student to remind them to go for the party, if it is indeed at a cohort level right? Must be some exclusive class-level party lah. :scratchhead:

Mabbe we can wait for her to clarify further. Nvrmind, I go the other thread to remind her to share further.

Bro FQW, I think let's not discuss about the party anymore. Whatever had happened had happened. Just let her vent about it once in a while.

The rest of us should just move on.

Yes, and it's getting tougher. The 2nd moxie has 4 sentences this time round and the first sentence is already quite a challenge :scared: My son says next week's spelling/dictation and tingxie/moxie will be brought forward due to CNY celebration next Fri - spelling/dictation next Tue and tingxie/moxie next Thurs.

My ds got selected for TTLT Maths....any experienced parents to share what does the program covers? Do the kids in TTLT get sent to participate in Maths Olympia program? Useful as DSA (of course provided that the kid does well)?


BTW my ds is reluctant to join as it clashes with his CCA which he would very much like to continue.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

TTLT Math covers getting to know the ancient numbering systems, pascal's triangle etc. The more interesting topic is in the second half of the year which is on financial literacy which is useful to educate the kids on money.

I would recommend go for TTLT, as the kid can always join CCA next time.

Math Olympiad training is open to anyone who is interested to take part.

Seat belts on school buses

***********************

There was an accident along Dunearn Road this afternoon - a trailer and a mini bus.

The mini bus has its sliding door ripped out and in tattered condition. Saw many pieces of A4 size paper scattered around the road. Not sure if the mini bus was ferrying any school children. Can be sure it is not PH school bus.

The driver seat and the passengers seats on the right side of the mini bus are in good condition. Did not hear ambulance screaming down.

If your child takes the sch bus, please remind them to belt up.

My ds has decided to go for TTLT after speaking to a teacher. Thanks!
