Answer 1

With the right teacher Kindergarteners can be very well behaved. Sometimes at first they don't listen, they're not used to raising their hand before speaking, sometimes they don't want to sit in circle etc. There were a few students in my sons class last year that got out of hand all through the year. But the teacher could keep them well under control.

Answer 2

I felt so alone in Singapore because I didn't think anyone noticed some of the RUDE Behaviour. Thanks Class 95 FM. Hope this makes everyone a Little more considerate. Three things that I constantly get confronted with: 1) Rude Driving Habits- Why do people drive in two lanes at once. Speeding- Has anyone ever calculated how much time you save by speeding? It is not much- Try leaving 5 minutes earlier. 2) I hear Singaporeans complain about how bad Filipinos speak with their "Taglish" but Singlish is not much better. I think we all could try harder to Speak Better English. 3) To use a phrase "act blur" Line cutting, running into you when they walk, ignore you when walk up to a counter, they don't read signs that tell them que here. Singaporeans have these habits so well honed that they made a singlish term up for it. I could add saving seats for their 10 friends who aren't even there yet. How can we be more courteous? Driving Habits- Put more guys with Cameras in White shirts. People drive like they are on their way to church when they see those guys. Anti Singlish Campaign. Even the teachers in some schools use Singlish slang. Don't condone it. Reward those of us who show courteous behaviour. Make sure people don't benefit by "acting like they don't see anyone else around"

Answer 3

Children between 5-6 years of age should be able to listen to age appropriate stories for at least 10 minutes and ask questions and make comments relative to the story. Children of this age should be able to follow simple instruction (i.e. please put your homework in your backpack.) As well as know when it is appropriate to speak and innappropriate. If a child is struggling with these behaviors, making an appointment with the child's physician can lead to a possible diagnosis or referral. It is important to catch these developmental delays before they progress too deeply. You can also check for more information pertaining to this online through search engines under "child psychology of 5 and 6 year olds." Use ".gov" or ".edu" websites for more accurate information.
