New school year

When the school year begins, we had planned to send the two girls to school, Qi ning to standard 1 while Qi Yu to kindie. But Qi Yu after first day in kindie decided that she is not going to the kindie anymore. She wanted home schooling like jie jie. I actually went with her for the first day and observe her throughout the class. My heart goes out to her as she has no friends and since it was a government kindie, is all malay. Teachers are also malay and during the break, they have to eat with their hand. Poor girl, I think she really didn't enjoy it. So we let her stay home after day 1 since she came down with running nose after that. I guess the stress is too much for her! Told the teacher will wait till after CNY to see how she goes.

Qi Ning started her standard 1. She has never being to school since I home school her for kindie. We were really concerned how she will cope with school. She did well and even being chosen by her classmate as class monitor. But i don't like the long hour and big class. She had 52 in her class and with three hyper active boys in the class. How on earth the teacher cope i don't know. I really wish that the class size is smaller but is just a wishful thought. They have 13 class of standard 1 students and each class have 50-52 students.

Everyday, the students have to arrive school early to avoid the jam. The school recommended the parents to send their kids by 12.30 but the class don't starts till 1.05pm. So this mummy never follow instruction, will only send her to school at 12.45pm to reach school by 12.50pm. Our home is only few minutes drive away. She often worried that she will be late as she is usually few of the last to arrive to the assembly hall. I see no point in sending her earlier to the hall, as the class only starts at 1.05pm and by the time they do to their respective class is already 1.15pm. Schools does not finished till 6.50pm (mon, tues) and 6.25pm(wed-fri). She asked me when i am gonna home school her again!
Guess mummy has to quickly get her thesis done and then can look into home school her!
