The Chinese New Year (CNY) public holidays are on 5th and 6th of February this year in 2019. School holidays start and end later making it a total of 9 days off for students.

Here's a look at what we've been talking about the week before CNY. Firstly, there were a couple of questions asked by parents preparing to register their children for primary school starting March 2019 this year. As usual, we will start a thread to connect parents with one another so they can discuss issues they encounter during online registration for Standard One.

Meanwhile, here are other topics that were discussed this week.

- Read this private sharing by a mother who changed from stressful to Stress Free Mode when guiding her children

- Is it normal practice for Chinese teachers to teach Ejaan using Chinese

- What happens when parents get together to gotong royong to transform the classroom

- Is it normal for after school daycare teachers to shout and scold for incidents like forgetting to bring clothes, homework or during tuition

- How can SJKC students transition to DLP class in SMK since SJKC does not offer DLP

- Can you opt out of extra classes offered by the school?

- How do you organize school bags and tuition bags etc in the house?

- Poll! With no exams for tahap 1 students (P1 - P3) how many parents agree to simple test/assessment to grade child's progress? - How to get the younger sibling to follow instructions?
