This may sound crazy to some of you....but I feel like pulling out my child out of school for this one remaining month. There's just so much homework now, on top of supplementary classes. Even as I'm typing, dd is still doing her homework. Everynight is the same. weekends worst!


I know where her weak areas are - from her prelim exams - but I have absolutely NO TIME to revise with her , or help her brush up the weak areas. :mad:

I really feel like homeschooling her now till PSLE.

I will do that for my child next year when she sits for PSLE. I think it is pointless to do so much work every day and no time for revision. My DS took the PSLE last year. Learnt from the experience.

Exactly. But dd is resistant to the idea of missing out supplementary classes for fear of missing out something important. Even late in the night, when I told her to stop doing and I'll write a letter to the teacher saying she can't finish her homework, she refused - die die must finish.

I heard a few of her classmates' parents also complained to the teacher - but nothing seems to be done so far.

DS said that some of his classmates started to get home cooked meals for lunch on the days they have supplementary. DS asked me to bring him home cooked meals for lunch too until PSLE is over instead of surfing KSPs the whole morning :razz:

Come come. Confess here. Who has been bringing their DCs home cooked meals just because PSLE is nearing? :spank: :heresmyfish:

I think our DDs earned themselves a nick name 'verysuperkiasi'.

But seriously, I always consider a day productively spent if she did her work and get it marked and know where she went wrong, and learnt from it. Problem with the teachers (other than Math), is they make the chn do tonnes of work and only mark them few days later, or a week later. By then, dd has forgotten what she has done.

Her Math teacher is good though. Get them do the work in class, go through the answer right away and explain the mistakes to them. So she hardly takes Math homework back to do. Yet she goes home with something she has learnt that day.
