Life of a primary 2

It ain't easy being a primary school kid, what more one who attends a chinese school (ming xiao).  The extra tuition class till 3pm started this week   Poor Erin, just after two and she is already down with flu.  This morning when mommy walk you to the school gate, mommy's heart is very heavy to see you walking in to the school with a tired look.  So, my dear girl....please sleep a little bit more early tonite. Remember your bedtime should be 9pm and nothing else.

Mommy really disagrees with all the staying back for extra classes 3 times a week.  Don't worry girl, mommy is trying my best to help you to 'de-stress' and at the same time, working with other parents to 'overthrow' this silly arrangement set by the school HM. We parents only want options to be given to us whether we want to sign up for the extra tuition class and not make it compulsory as set by the school HM.  Besides that, mommy will also 'fight' for better quality food served to children during lunch.  So glad to know there are quite a number of parents are in this together.  Hope more will join us.

Lesson to be learned in this post my girl is...if you think you should have the right or should be given a choice...fight for it, stand up for yourself.  Do not expect other people to fight your battle.  You may be the 'only one' to start the cause but if others were to join you then you are from 'only one to become the 'first one'. But in all you do, do it with wisdom and courage.
