During the 80s, our junior schools here in Singapore have this brushing teeth session for all children to come along and line up at the small drains with their mugs filled with water, toothbrush and toothpaste during the break time. There is a catchy song in which they will play during this time and when everybody hear that sone would know it is time to brush out teeth. We would all rush to get water at the tap near the place where we brush our teeth.
It sure was fun during that time, watching everybody rush for the tap and brushing the teeth and laughing all at the same time. However, sad to say that today, this sessions seem to be have obmitted from schools. At least I think so coz I don't even hear my girl talking about this going on at her school. I really wonder! Have things like this change so much or kids today their teeth are very well taken care of so no need for this session anymore?Or, are schools forgot there was once a session like this before or even dentist forgot about this too? So what happen to it only the Ministry of Education can answer this question!
