We were excited when she received the big brown envelope but was half hearted about switching school. She said "This is a big decision that I can't handle, please decide for me" but deep in her heart, she was all ready to move. I guess for a 9 yr old child, it was a morale booster to be told that she is the top 1% of the cohort. We went with the flow and took up the challenge.
TNS was not our choice as the impression we had of the school is always kiasu and demanding. Well... we didn't really have a choice since the appeal to change was unsuccessful. She cried the day she received the posting.....
January was a tough month.... new school, new environment, new friends makes her all stressed up. Mummy had a bad experience with the teacher. The amount of homework she has, the high expectation of the teachers didnt help at all, she was weeping all the time. From the girl who loves lots of CCA to a girl who only wants the easiest CCA. And her passion for dance almost died cos she can't take the stress from school. From a child who aced her studies to one who was told she failed Eng and CL compo, she broke down. Confidence level fell to the lowest point...
Then we wondered if we had made a right choice, Daddy was thinking of possibility to transfer her back to MBS. But it was not an option for her, she is not giving up.
