hi,

I would like to find out from parents here, other then the branch mgr of PW, Jason, are the rest of tutors there equally good?

My son in P5 this year. His tutor is Teacher Rachel. She is good. My son's class has 3 students (including my son). Teacher Rachel will make sure all her students understand her explanation before she proceeds to the next question. At the end of the lesson she will always feedback to the parents the students' performance on that day. Teacher Jason and Michelle are both equally good. I think Teacher Jason is teaching mostly P6 students preparing for PSLE.

What if he doesn't care about doing better?

I would also say that it's for his future (then he say don't care). Then I say that we can't support him and he has to do it himself (he'll say \"ok - please don't worry about how I will cope in future\").

So those ultimatums might not work favourably for such a child. Instead, the child will develop great anger and hate for the parents.

It is true that most boys just don't care about their future.

It is not only boys below 12 years old, I knew of boys age 18 to 25 who also don't care. When I asked them, what happens if your grades are so poor and cannot find a job ? Their answer is : \"Just sign on for the army lor\".

Personally I believe that we should let boys experience hardship.

There was once my boy behaved very badly, I punished him by making him sleep on the hard floor for the entire night. My mother was totally shocked and told me that he might fall sick. He was about 5 years old then. Well he did not fall sick and after that he did not make the same mistake again. (Note that I never cane him) I intend to do this again if he refused to study. This is to show him the consequence of not studying. But so far he loves to learn so I don't have to do it

I ever put him in student care centre before when he was in P1 & P2 and there was a student care centre in his school. After school, the teacher will bring them to the student care centre. Hmmmh, he doesn't like it maybe because he was young during that time and he got bullied in the centre. Now he has transferred to another school, which also has a student care centre near the school. I ever told him about putting him again in student care centre, he strongly against it and also because of tight budget - I cannot afford to put him in the centre. I think he is street smart but not study smart. He is very good in hand-on skill. Things that are of interest to him he will go all the way to find more information. For example, he like cars, he will always watch documentary film about how to make cars, repairs car. There was once he even tell me : Mummy do you know Audi has mode A1 to A8 but no A2, so I look at my husband and he nobbed his head.

Ban watching of TV ?


In my home, there is no TV in the living area.

There is a small one in the bedroom and it is out of bounds to the children unless it is family TV time together at night.

At my house, I can restrict. But everyday after school, he will go to my MIL house. I am working. I have no control over him. My MIL did told me to finish he homework and revise his school work first then watch TV. But he is bo-chap. My MIL ever use cane but now he is big liao not scared. I can't take away the TV remote control. My MIL needs to watch TV.

Every night, I'll go to my MIL house to have dinner and pick him up. By the time we reached home it's already 8 pm. I'll go through some homework with him then is bed time. At night he won't have time to watch TV as he needs to get to bed by 9.30 pm.

GG mum:

Maybe try reward system?

Yes, I tried. But it doesn't work.

Dear all parent,


I've a big headache. My elder son doesn't like to study. Everyday come back from school watch TV. Although, we have punished him for watching TV and even restricted him from watching, you just can't be bother. Still continue to watch. He did very badly for his SA 1 this year and I'm so worry for his PSLE next year. His average T-score was less than 150. I'm ready worry for him but he just can't be bother. Even though myself and hubby had tried to explain to him the importance of education and responsbility etc. But his attitude is like left in right out. Even when I sit together with him to help him to revise his work, for e.g. chinese, I explain to him the meaning and prounication, but the next day when I ask him back, he forgot everything liao. I'm very furious as time is lacking and he is not absorbing. Just like yesterday, I told him to revise his science as SA 2 is coming. In the end, he did revise 2 topics of the science BUT within 15 mins and is like watching the TV and studying at the same time. My maid told me that. When I tested on the topics that he revised in the afternoon, he couldn't answer me. I was so angry :stupid: Please advise me what I should do. I'm really at a loss. Thank so much.

Paid a visit to the ctr and spoken to Michelle. Am consider signing up my DS(P1) and and DD(K1). Parents with kids currently with the Marine Parade Branch, please share some of your latest feedback.

Hi Fanbing,

I have DD1 (K2) who is attending the class, and her teacher is Kendrick. Nothing but good reviews for them. Jason is a very nice person and is always arranging free sessions for the kids or parents. You just have to pay material cost.

Class wise, my DD1 has improved on her foundation on Maths and all the teachers always take the time to explain to the parents on how their child is doing. *usually I sit there while waiting for DD1 so I am aware the approach is consistent*

Love the work books, interactive and DD1 loves doing them

All the teachers are well mannered, sweet, patient and very pleasant people

Hi kissgurami, pls elaborate what kind of free session Jason is offering to the students. From my understanding is, Jason only offer free exam paper drilling when the exam is round the corner which is on every Tue. Are you referring to this?
