Dino mummy:

Not sure true or not, I was told P4 SA2 will be easier as these papers need MOE's approval due to subject banding/streaming (ie standard or foundation)

Dino Mummy,

So, was it true for your boy's case last year? SA2 papers were easy? What about SA1 last year?

Is this the reason why they set difficult SA1 papers? :scratchhead:

My boy commented that yesterday's Chinese paper was difficult.

Last year hum...he did better than SA1. His daddy cum maths tutor commented the SA2 maths paper is not difficult. For other subjects, I dun find big differences.

For yesterday chinese, DS1 said easy loh...said the compreh passage, answers can be copied easily from the passage. So, I asked him how many marks can he get since it is an easy paper...He replied \"70 out of 95\". I asked \"huh? easy can only get 70???\" He said his answers for certain sections are different from his friends. So his easy is not easy actually..
There was some changes on the compreh passage. He said they were asked to change some qns and then he found the qns and passages dun make sense. He fedback and they were changed to the original qns. Not sure this is true or not...

Zlia,


I believe your girl has told you about Ms Tan’s long absence from the class. Any thoughts on this issue?

If this is going to persist into the next semester, I think we, as parents, need to do something about it. I don’t know about your girl, but my girl is very demoralised.

Wonder the school will ask the students go back for remedial class if scored below marks 80?

Maybe not below 80 marks, but as long as the student scored Band 2. http://media.photobucket.com/user/ezgoin_photos/media/Scared.gif.html

No lah, QMS. My DS1 had gotten a band 2 previously, no remedial.
As for below 80, I am not sure. But I do noe that not all kids below 80 need remedial classes.
Actually, if there is remedial classes, just treat it as free tuition. I ever asked my DS1 to ask his chinese teacher for remedial but his teacher truend him down cos based on his P4 results, he does not require remedial.

Almost all his results are out, his worst performance is chinese as expected...

I think it depends on the teacher. My son's Maths teacher last year insisted that all students who scored Band 2 and below during SA1 attend remedial lessons during the June holidays. This teacher, this year, implements the same \"policy\" to her class, too.

For my son's Science teacher, I think those who scored Band 2 and below last year have been attending remedial. That's why I thought maybe the cut-off is 85 instead of 80.

http://media.photobucket.com/user/bassdom1/media/Smiley%20face/hi5.gif.html Totally agree with you. In fact, when I heard that my son's Science teacher had this remedial class, I asked my son to request his teacher to include him. But, I suppose my boy is a member of NATO so it hasn't materialised yet.

This showed that his result wasn't that bad after all, right?

I agreed with you. It depend on the kid's lucky to end up with what kind of teacher. Not all teachers are willing to conduct remedial class lesson during the school holiday.

I agree last year was result was good..all band 1. Not this year
Without Oral and Compo, already 70+. With these 2 sections added, it will drag his score further.
I accepted that already since everyone is saying there will defintely a difference in score compared to P4.

Dino mummy,

Your boy takes Normal Chinese, right (I read somewhere that you chose to opt him out of HCL. Please forgive me if I remembered wrongly.)? When the teachers return the scripts to the students, will you be able to kindly feedback what you think about the paper? Difficult or easy? At least it will let me be psychologically prepared and not end up too http://media.photobucket.com/user/karate_man_mike/media/Random/O_O.gif.html next year. As it is, my boy's SA1 results so far have already made me http://media.photobucket.com/user/denistephenson/media/SMILEYS/smiley_text/JC_faint.gif.html.
