How many of your kids DID NOT have a 1 week break?
-
I had a day off. We also had our outings as a family. DD1 did her homework in a day.
-
I did not give them extra work to do. They got to do their homework from their tutors.
-
My elder boy is preparing for a shooting competition, so he goes for practice from Mon to Sat.
My P6 boy went back to school on Mon and Tues morning for oral practice. Not many school assignment. The rest of the week was F&E -
Kiddos finished all their homework on Friday afternoon before the 1 week break. The rest of the week was free for them. DD had to go back only on 1 morning for CCA. So they practically had the whole week free.

My sec 3 dd spent all the time rushing her work. She spent 2 full days in sch for forum (end at 6 pm). She has 100 chem questions to complete plus at least 2 assignments from each subject , plus project work, plus a competition research, ALL squeeze into a week. Worst than a normal sch week.
I think it happens to most sec sch than pri students. Most of her classmates still need to go back 2 to 5 times for CCA.
So she would rather NOT have a holiday…
Pls don’t give them so much work for a short holiday , let them rest! -

Hi ‘TheAnswer’
I can only tell u it’s in Tampines. My child end up having no time to prepare for next term, she felt stressed. She actually plan to revise her A maths but too bad… -
My child also did not have a 1 week break. Out of that 1 week March hols, 6 days in school for around 4-5 hours. On top of it still have homework, project work, on-line learning, etc.
Education in Singapore is crazy. No life! Parents have time for kids but kids have no time for us. Even a joyous occasion like Chinese New Year cannot be enjoyed. My kids have no tuition already so busy with school life. Everyday need to stay back for CCAs, extra lessons, projects, etc. Reached home 6-7pm. I pity my kids. -
Dd had to go back for 2 days of training. Homework inudes 2 full maths paper, 1 compo, 1 science research, 1 PowerPoint presentation n a couple of Chinese worksheets. Her piano theory n practical exams also fall on the holiday week. So the piano T gave her additional 2 sessions of coaching.
Though very busy, we manage to squeeze in a movie, 1 afternoon tea date n a few quick dips in the pool. No revision was done. Dd commented that it didn’t feel like there was any holiday
