Instead of the usual $50+ textbook fee, when the electronic textbook come out, students may only pay $10 to $15 for all textbooks.Physical assessments book have to purchase separately, but I heard SAP, marshall and other publisher is considering the idea of turning their resources into electronic for students in Singapore. Of course, it would be only available through school for their students and not for commercial public sales.
more $50 for secondary school now
Textbooks can shot up to $200

Come to think of it, who here divides/tear/seperate each subject books into different chapters during secondary school???
More often then not, secondary school students will have much lighter bags, despite having more subject than primary school kids...
i packed my bag in primary school so my bag was damned small and light.. really really small and light..
in sec school and JC, i took apart my text.. each chapter = 1 small booklet... bag lagi lighter

cant remember much about my primary school but i still missed the moment of parking all my textbook under my desk during secondary school. My bag dam light sia only bring waterbottle, umbrella, files and pe t-shirt

Because of this "check", i jad to become topless to check our spines at age of 12. Without a bra and being exposed. WTH IS IT?! ENCOURAGE PEDO-IST AMONG NURSES? OR ENCOURAGING CHILDREN TO SHOW THEIR IMTIMATE PARTS TO A COMPLETE STRANGER?
SERIOUSLY, I REMEMBER EVERY DETAIL OF. THE CHECK.
DAMM

in future
no more textbooks
only ipad
last time my textbooks all inside locker -
Jiani, the check is to ensure proper development of spinal cord.
There are a few checks. They done it in school because it's not practical to send all the students from singapore to the hospitals.
It may be a bad experience for you probably because the nurse who checked you lack of professional etiquette.
-
EVERY CHECK MUST BECOME TOPLESS AND EXPOSED MY THING.
WTH IS THIS? Everyone oppose to this, but no one dared to speak out against them.
i will be the 1st cos' i will be using the social media card or the parent card.

The checking of spine shouldn't take a long time, how did the nurse made you umcomfortable during the short while?
-
i must remove my top clothes completely. inculding the bra!
-
then have this random nurse peeking in.
i never exposed myself like this before much less a completed stranger!!at the age of 12. >:(
-
But it's for a short while right?
Removing the top and bra is because the nurses need to check the full spine length. From the neck to the buttcrack there, the spine is that long
The bra will hinder the examination process. -

The second nurse is a female nurse, right? -
when i was in primary school, I was also carrying a lot of books in a big bag. seems like it is still the same for the last 20 plus years, no change at all.
the school bag consists on textbooks, workbooks and notebooks. the teachers should address this by telling the students to leave the books under their desk before they go home. best is the school to install a locker or cabinet for the kids to put their books there before they go home.

yup, but don't u feel uncomfortable when u show the thing under u to a complete stranger? a stranger at the age of 12.
its very sensitive part to show.
