there are still people in my school puting their items under the desk.

things like their smelly PE shirt.

do they still put their books under the desk when they go home

But even if they buy the iPad, they would still need to buy the online textbooks right. Isn't that even more expensive? Well unless they got some promo bundle~ haha

School will absorb part of the textbook cost.

Come to think of it, who here divides/tear/seperate each subject books into different chapters during secondary school???

More often then not, secondary school students will have much lighter bags, despite having more subject than primary school kids...

Jacychong10 SG

True true. Honestly JC is the best. Cos only bring papers and notes. haha

Instead of the usual $50+ textbook fee, when the electronic textbook come out, students may only pay $10 to $15 for all textbooks.

Physical assessments book have to purchase separately, but I heard SAP, marshall and other publisher is considering the idea of turning their resources into electronic for students in Singapore. Of course, it would be only available through school for their students and not for commercial public sales.

I had one of these when I was in primary school... then I realized that I had to carry it up two flights of stairs everyday.... FAIL.

lol.. better than carrying it all the way ma...ha ha

suspects i could be 1.8 metres if the damn schools had not made us carry so much books in a bag.and all my high grade bags only lasted 8mths befoire the bottom fell off!

rthen when u want to lighten the school bag u need to pack it everyday and themn if u forgot to bring a book once...u get detention or stand outside classroom!spore classrooms in primary school was simply hell!

actually the schools are to be blamed.....schools could stock like 15 same textbook ina class!!!even if 10 students forget they can still share school supplied textbooks in class instead of making us end up shorter!

Isit? I see. But I think this kind of learning may not be suitable for all. Some people are still use to paper and pen. iPad and these sort of technology are afterall straining on the eyes~

nature-ones SG

Because of this "check", i jad to become topless to check our spines at age of 12. Without a bra and being exposed. WTH IS IT?! ENCOURAGE PEDO-IST AMONG NURSES? OR ENCOURAGING CHILDREN TO SHOW THEIR IMTIMATE PARTS TO A COMPLETE STRANGER?

SERIOUSLY, I REMEMBER EVERY DETAIL OF. THE CHECK.

Bus&Soccer l0v3r (VO3x 1) SG

in future

no more textbooks

only ipad

last time my textbooks all inside locker

Darkness_hacker99 SG

Jiani, the check is to ensure proper development of spinal cord.

There are a few checks. They done it in school because it's not practical to send all the students from singapore to the hospitals.

It may be a bad experience for you probably because the nurse who checked you lack of professional etiquette.

Summer hill SG

EVERY CHECK MUST BECOME TOPLESS AND EXPOSED MY THING.

WTH IS THIS? Everyone oppose to this, but no one dared to speak out against them.

i will be the 1st cos' i will be using the social media card or the parent card.

Darkness_hacker99 SG

okay good job! brave!
