Try this in a secondary school and the parents will likely be cyberbullied but in real life and the students will degrade the parents as well as his/her child
"Cyber bullied but in real life"? You mean bullied?
toxic school you must have been in
Or in fact other students may be enlighten and empowered to succeed
@@cheeseballs5730 yes sir but I just say it as cyberbullying because I like it this way lol
secondary school was good actually 3 years ago i entered highschool and thats where i make most of my friends
“I think decimals and fractions are hard for me” laughs in algebra
laughs in calculus

Cries in dumbass

Laughs in stupid geometry
“When I was your age I got all A’s you disgrace” “Eh, old is old, new is what matters, why can’t you get duh A.”
There's a difference between Smart and score more

@@yee9222 maybe you should just ignore that, I'm dumb
White Bird Maybe you have to go back to school to learn how to spell ‘you’, and to learn proper manners and how to be nice.
Primary school kids: There is so many subjects, I feel so tired. Me: Laughing while looking at my secondary school subjects and how tired I am after school *the new Psle system too

Haha same I'm in sec too haha but then again probably poly or JC is gonna be harder
Me: Laughs in A Math
DamagedSoul *laughs in ip school*
DamagedSoul I’m the first batch to do the psle system ;((
not every child and parent will have such a rare opportunity to bond as classmates, very blessed to form such precious moments.
Not exactly. In a perfect world what you said might be true but 99 out of 100 times the poor kid is probably gonna be bullied
Jocelyn J just flex the 40k views on youtube
Tbh I'd be pretty embarrassed (I spent 6 full years in a Singaporean primary school)
I love shan ni
secondary school version would be cool
Yea but most likely they would be bullied for this. Sec kids are brutal.
beefwhale yeah but like Sec sch students cfm bully the other kids lol
Honestly so far in my secondary school there's no bullying yet... Maybe it's cause I'm sec 1
@notlenzo probably.... But it's gonna be red soon so it doesn't matter (if u know what I mean)
Lucky Dragonfly same what school
Loved how Mr Roslee was so popular amongst the male students during recess!! What made it even cuter was when Adriana asked him why was he so popular 😂
I was classmates with Adriana at that time and tbh W parent.
Parents should do this so they know how hard it is to be in school now
Pri sch, hard?
@@d.tcomma p6, maybe, then there's secondary school, CJ, uni and then there's work. Over worked but low pay. Lol😂
@@d.tcomma Im in high school now but their primary school is very different we didnt even have homework lol we only had to write a story on Fridays lol
They have homework more
@@susannek8618 lol
Imagine one of the kids fell asleep in class and their parents get angry and starts to scold them

ikr

Ikr😂😂
Yeaa
IKRR
I from qifa and when the parent was there it wasnt very awkward
So sad they are stressed and they’re only in PRIMARY school!
Doesn't mean they can't be stressed though😂
Jimin X no jams I know but if they are stressed now, imagine how they’d find high school
@@baxter_1232 i mean they'd grow along the way as well. they can handle high school just fine since by the time they'll be much older

“What’s my occupation?” “cheapo” “MY OCCUPATION IS NOT CHEAPO!🍑” When you understand you understand
What’s the meaning
@@kaijie4981 rather not tell
I love how these parents are so positively involved in the lives of their children...I believe every parent should be open minded and also see the child's perspective. Stress is not the solution.
Now they can’t say sch easy and can flex them marks on them lucky child
Teacher: "Get into groups with the same hairstyle." Me: *Chilling with a bleached mohawk*
Me:bleached side shave
Me: straight black shiny thick plain hair
Parent: YOU SHOULD GET AN A+! The parent again: gets F Shocked pikachu face
17:11 [Dad]Are we allowed to bring this one back home? [Girl] Yes. [Dad] Then, I can go through with you later tonight [To Be Continued Starts to play]
Adrianna's dad, Roslee, is the kind of dad I would love to have. Happy-go-lucky, friendly, easy to talk to, caring, jokes with you. Adrianna, hope you cherish the r/s you have with your father forever. And to Roslee, please remain the same as you are now, even as Adrianna grows older in the future, you're an amazing father.
"I hate all the tuition classes I have." Me: *Laughs in Year 12*
The thing is that they have 4 subjects and so many tuitions can you imagine what their lives will be like when they reach your level?
Hahaha I’m 13 this year and everyday 9 hours of school both and tution add together
@@n00bodywoo25 and i have nine subjects now lmfao
does he need to ask his father to sign his 20/20 paper??
sure do HHAHA
The parents ask their parents to sign but they might already be dead
It’s a parent or guardian
For the girl Adrianna: Mother sign For roslee: My wife sign
no offence but pri sch is nothing compared to secondary sch
Bro it's that's why it's called "primary"
Ikr
No offence but secondary school is nothing when compared to JC, Poly and Uni. :) 🙃
ikr
There’s nothing offensive about that
13:32 The "Walao eh" is mood af
"there are so many subjects" me: *cries in college*
I heard JC stories from my teacher(I'm still in sec 1), sounds like hell, can't wait to start work, huh?😂
"Mr goh is like a buddy, a friend" *talks while walking to class* *gets scolded by him*
CNA pls do a cover on secondary school too it will be great for audience
So cool! I really enjoy these kind of documentaries, kudos to the parents who tried to understand their children's life better :)
Can I get my parents to do that?
This will be very cringe cause the friends of the dude will be like lmaooooo and keep laughing maybe
Only in toxic environment. Look at the dad being so well received. Says much about the classmates own upbringing.
@@RonLarhz it's not really toxic if the person who's laughing is your good friend
@@niteeshharshavardhana1638 🤔 a good friend should encourage such action tho
@@sarahm.5021 Yea. You aren't good frnds if you dont have fun with your friends.
@@alansuresh2864 maybe draw a line between joking and insulting
"Can print money" cracked me up. Occupation is a cheapo. Gosh I miss my upper primary boys when I was teaching. They are hilarious.
If this happened in my school it would be a nightmare
Omg yes
One of my schools had a few days where parents can come in and view what is going on in class. Let’s just say our behaviour was not much better than usual.
Dad: Take her PSLEs next year P6 in 2020: *iVe NeVeR hEaRd Of ThAt*
*Teacher:* ‘Ok, I’m a cheapo teacher!... but what kind of printer do you think a cheapo teacher will need?’ *Student:* ‘the cheapest printer ever’ 🤣😂😂 give that kid an A+! 👏😂
"So many subjects" Me: *laughs in 16 subjects in multiple languages*
who thought of this should get a raise !!!!
its probably a gen z frustrated at a boomer
“What’s so difficult about primary” Me: haha yeah wait till you go to secondary
If i did this my mom would keep shouting at everyone and purposefully making hateful comments about my uniform and my attitude :/
Wait hold up he’s said that primary school is just play and play and play Me:I WISH
“That’s my mother!🙈” So cute 😂❤️😭
As a secondary student, I would love to have my mom, but like not my classmate because I curse with my friends a lot lol. I just want my mom to see the struggle of my life instead of just, “i did that as a child too” because it’s different
This is real empathy! Putting yourself in another’s shoes. Why can they do this everywhere at least one every year?
"I think decimals and fractions are hard for me" me: laughs in calculus or add maths
Me laughing with tignomenry
*Happy business math noises*
20:30 Her:is no longer flip open ur textbook to page 57 Me:laughs in secondary
We need secondary school edition also , I like this show
i want to see parents trying out secondary school life
Omg May Tan and her son Willis are adorable! Especially Willis, what a cute baby.. PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS!!
* LAUGHS IN LITERATURE, GEOGRAPHY AND SECONDARY MATHS *
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA “Lets welcome our new student!” Random boi: -done look- thats my mother
*"lets welcome our new student!"* *moms: laughs in mom*
whoever said "the cheapest printer ever" is the best

@@nitink5123 gangzz
@@catherinenaing4511 its just an expression to say that im from a boys school . Not literal
The P4 bonding thing actually seems really smart to me cuz it helps you expand and get to know more people
I laughed so hard when Sri’s daughter was smiling at her mom’s score and rosli was comparing his marks to his daughter’s. It’s cute how parents love to compare with their kids even tho the comparison isn’t fair 😂 we need a grandparents version.
Can everyone stop saying primary is nothing compared to secondary lol theyre literally kids ofc its tough on them
Agree
@Ben Chu sorry i dont know how this reply relates to my comment
The girl face when she said ‘ On Saturday I’m free’ is precious.
I feel like every school should require that parents attend at least one day at their students school
Mom: Are you enjoying time in school? Daughter: No! I'm not sure whether I've to smile or cry. But I like the idea of parents come back to school to company their kids.
Superb , the amount of love they give to thier children and the of inspiration in thier trying is unreal 👑💖
"so many subjects" me: has Spanish, ICT , DT, science, maths, English and pse all in one day in year nine during gcse options

“Make new friends” *Me the person just as the same friends every year*
I would love me mom to come to school with me so she can see how stressful it is, she’s always like “y’all literally do nothing so stop complaining”
It's amazing how the parents and their kids are getting along :)
so good mah, my old primary school not like that one eh. Teacher scold 24/7
1:14 is my PE teacher, his from qifa and sadly last year he pass on from illness R.I.P Mr Andrew 🙁☹️
12:36 the girl's reaction.
How bold of them to come up with such a concept
Bonding is so important. Well done kiddos n parents! 👍🏽
Shri: I want to go because I want to see what school is like now Carol: I want to go because I want to know how the activities are tiring my kid Roslee: I want to go because I want to see why my kid is so bad at academics May: I want to go because I want to see my child’s social life and his friends
I was always told everything I did in primary will never contribute to high school or college 🤣🤣🤣
As a Malaysian student, I'm so admire Singapore students😭
Tbh I'm quite thankful Malaysia isn't as stressful as Singapore. I would probably die if Malaysia's school is like that. I'm useless enough as I am now in Malaysia lol
20:05 is the funniest part that i keep gg back. love mr goh's lessons!
I think you don't need punishment just because you get bad scores...
mindset these days...tsk
oh welll 😂
Right
there should be a ‘bring your parents to school day’ but they won’t truly experience what it’s like in school coz the teachers will be v nice
Colette Lim right they be like oh hi but the next day you see yourself in dentention
*Laughs in going home at 7pm*
"I have to survive until 6'o clock." *"SURVIVE."*
I'm in highschool and they'll gonna love it *Laughter*
It will be so fun to go back at school with kids to learn again .
Watching this is making me feel wholesome
The first parents waking the girl up, just amazing.
Can we finally let kids be kids? cause if you don't let them have these milestones, they're going to grow up as well educated but lacking basic lifeskills and social skills. You might think that you're going to give them a leg up in life, but in reality they're going to become naive due to lack of social growth.
I was in primary school not even 5 years ago and they are doing so much work it’s crazy. I wish I had a bit more work because going into high school hit very hard as I wasn’t used to tests, assignments or anything of that manner,
@@adoreyou7449 pretty sure that's your inability to prepare for your tests and assignments manifesting.
Shri: I scold my daughters for careless mistakes but that just happened to me Me: THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULDN’T RUSH AND ALSO NOT SCOLD SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THEIR GRADES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a brilliant experiment! Very interesting. 👍
School is quite hard and i think many adults underestimate children. I remember not seeing friends outside homeroom for months at a time because of homework.
I mostly have homework everyday after school but there's nothing I can do about it.
I graduated from primary school 5 years ago and I truly miss it... I felt that as long as you enjoy the learning process, primary school is a safe haven for you to play and learn with your friends :) It isn't easy but once you've completed it, you will look back on your beautiful 6-year journey and realise that that period is one of the best time in your life. If given a chance, I will choose to return to my primary school as a child again...
if my parents comes with me to school they would tell the whole school about what i do at home 😂
it was the NO at the end for me 😂
Mr Goh is a COOL ASF teacher, i stan
Primary school kid: I’m soooo stressed😭 Me: Try sec 4 and memorize hella loads of things😉
Watching this and relieving my memory of primary school when I was actually considered smart now that I'm in University I'm so dumb lmao
Shri’s family is so wonderful ❤
"what's my occupation" "cheapo" LMAO🤣🤣🤣
singapore is so diverse. i was trying to figure out what country this is, but i looked at the title and it said *Singapore*
1:21 I was so shocked to hear tamil, my mother tongue! ❤️🙂
Omg, you too?
I didn't know that Singapore is so much diverse! That's awesome
My student's parent need to do this,so they would be expose to their kids learning environment & see with their own eyes what their kids are doing in class,AND why they got d grades they recieve for test/exams.
