2013 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

ngl2010:

I got a bit angry last night. Panic mode. PSLE Oral is next week and DS is not up to my standard yet. I told DS that no tutor can help him at this point in time (he asked me to get a tutor for these 4.5 days :slapshead: ) so he must trust me. I have to remind him my 'achievements' in helping him. Tutors are good but they cannot stay in the house for the whole 4.5 days. They are useful to help in technical aspects but parents are the ones that can monitor the practices. Luckily after :rant: he agreed to work together with me and use my method. I hope these 4.5 days will be fruitful :xedfingers:


To all parents... let's jiayou together :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:

:hugs: take it easy, ngl2010. hope things will ease for you.

i'm going on partial hands-off approach now already. i felt that the pressure from school and from my dd herself has increased and me adding to it may be the straw that breaks the camel back.
i just can make sure i keep her healthy and do this. :xedfingers:

Yes, chill! Too much pressure is a bad thing. We are de-stressing by cycling from East Coast beach to Changi Village. DS looking forward to it. Anyone doing anything fun?

dont let our stress reflect on the child... they may black out... instead try and build confidence by continuously praising and appreciating them and lighten the atmosphere at home... difficult job! but we must try and give it a go...Its my DS 12th BIRTHDAY TODAY! taking 1/2 day off from work and taking everyone out for Phantom of the Opera followed by a nice dinner...an attempt at destressing and celebrating my child!

Does anybody know where to get a list of 词汇/places for Chinese oral?

Hi there,

I remember I saw a book which contains words used for oral. It has chinese-english version and with hanyupinyin. Saw it at Popular bookstore quite some times ago and hence I can't really remember the title. You may want to call popular and check whether they have it.

Hope this info helps

PS I have browse the popular online store but can't find it. They may not have include all titles online.
