DS in sec 2 now... had the same problem when he was in sec 1... or worse.. failing a few subjects (the newer ones like History and D&T) :rant:
i was like :frustrated:
then i went thru his books and really find that it is not easy... understand him more and now in sec 2... he is getting better.. and of course my expectations lowered... he still enjoys studying though and is more self driven this year.

Then, did u send him for tuition?

Look at my ds marks( have not seen his paper), seem like I have 'study' his sec sch text, and see how much I can help him...

Is that roughly where you expect him to be? Marks in sec school may be much lower in absolute nos. than in Pr school. Also, the requirements may be different from Pr school, and students may not have fully adjusted yet. For subjects that are new, students may not have got used to what is required yet. As a first recourse, he should ask his teachers for specific advice as to what his weaknesses are and suggestions for improvement. Once you know the weaknesses, you can also tap on others here for specific suggestions, or get tuition if you think it necessary. At sec school, it's best to let the student take the lead to ask the questions and try to self-study, ask others for help etc.

Hihi


Anyone care to share how your Sec 1 DD and DS are coping in the Secondary Schools?
My DD has been very unhappy since beginning of the year. She has been asking to transfer to her Pri School's affiliated Sec school. Seems like she is not coping well socially in the new school and not motivated to study at all.

I told her to try out for a year in this Sec school. More than half a year has gone and things doesn't seem to have improved. Think she missed her old friends. I really hope that she can remain in this school, but am almost giving up after seeing her being so unhappy.

Wonder is this normal? Anyone care to share your experience with your DD or DS?

Is she an introvert who cannot makes friends easily?

Is the result from P6 to Sec 1 usually a plunge? Like from P4 to P5.

Yes, its a huge jump from Pri to Sec school, also more subjects but don't worry, they will adjust once they settle into Sec School routine.

Thank you. I will prepare mentally so I won't be shocked or panicked when I see his grades plunged
