Me: Why are private schools always in a hurry to resume school earlier than date scheduled by government?

That is why some also use books ahead.
Why the rush?

I never met you in person but your teaching and parenting tips added values to my professional life as a teacher and mother. I always read your posts on CPE.

Education sector will miss your immense contributions.

May your generous soul rest in peace . Rest on ma'am.

Yo all women

This is a drawing by my 5 year old Nursery 2 pupil. I am very much impressed. This is a talent in the making. Catch them young . I am so proud of my .pupils .
She did the drawing and colouring by herself. No assistance. Wow I am super proud of this child.

That's right and very true.

Why teachers like gossiping school owners to parents?
