Homework, Homework and More Homework...the Rat Race begins

As any Singaporean parent would soon come to realise, school's all about homework, assignments and more worksheets. ** poor parent *** Childhood memories come to a screeching halt [just imagine the sound of the Emergency brake] whenever the dreaded word 'homework' arises in conversations between any two parents of school-going children.

And just like any other primary student in our mainstream schools, Rabbit Princess has just started to realise that other than fun n more fun activities, school's about homework as well.
There's mathematics workbook, handwriting worksheets, mathematics textbook examples to work on which means no extra time for TV programmes except the essential 30 minutes of Hi-5 on Kids Central each evening. Then of course, there's also Piano theory workbook, piano technical exercises, piano pieces to practise and manuscript homework. And all these to be squeezed into a time frame of about 2.5 hours.

Geez, now is school plus enrichment still that fun afterall? Now now, relax, this is just the beginning to a LONG LONG journey of achieving the ultimate prize... a Degree! So Rabbit Princess, stop fretting and frowning and take it all in your stride!
