Hi ruaqt2,

Edusave is the account every primary student has right ? MOE pumps in some money for each child and amt depends on the type of residence. I’m not sure about depositing $$ into the account. Maybe you can check with MOE directly.

You know what? The trick is to be able to reach 4th gear and yet not affect our children. They should not feel our anxiety so that they can be in top form for their exams. I shelter my dd from the pressures of school by constantly putting everything as positive for her, spurring her on by telling her encouraging stories and not overloading her with exam revision. In the background, I must be resourceful and ready for her daily revision. Everyday, a little of something so that by the time it's exam, she's prepared. Janet, you are a very conscientious mum, I'm sure you can help your boy effectively. Take heart!

Great job!!

I am trying get mine to take over the driver seat so tat I can sit beside her to provide directions and an 'extra' pair of eyes.

Hi, anybody from Peace 2? Want to know any feedback about the form teacher.

Anybody feels that the admin staff are not helpful?
My girl in Peace 2. No teachers have given her any email address for parents to communicate with them. I am so disappointed.

Email address is available in school web as E3 has provided. On e contrary, I find e admin staff quite helpful. When I need to know anything abt my child, I call e tr or leave a msg with my contact with e admin. Usually tr will call within 1 or 2 days.

thanks for reply

Yes, my encounters with them were also quite pleasant. I needed to speak to my dd's Chinese teacher last year and they promptly left a message for her to call back. Chinese teacher called within the next hour. Another time, I was called up to pick up my dd because her temperature was higher than usual, but when I was there, we realised her thermometer was faulty and her temperature was normal so one of them kindly brought her back to class and even helped explain the situation to the teacher on my dd's behalf.

thanks for reply..

I am sorry about your disappointment. Hope the teachers take more initiative. Here's the link to the school website with all the teachers' email addresses.

Thanks. I have a feeling girls are easier to 'train' Perhaps, mummies with boys can provide some tips to Janet...

Hi E3,

Girls are more obedient and ‘automatic’ doing their work in general. I can only hope my son will learn to be mature and learn to have some responsibility. In the meantime, any mummy here with boys please give me some ideas how you manage your boys. Thanks.

No luck here. I am still micro-managing the younger boy.

As for my elder boy (who is clearly more sensible by age to age comparison), I left him alone at mid of P4. His SA2 results dipped a bit but still made it to CH5. It was the teachers who \"whipped\" him up. I just sat back n relax So unable to provide any useful ideas.

Hi Jennifer,

My son at P4 is slightly better now…can’t be left alone just yet. Your son was left alone and he went to Charity 5? His teachers have done an amazing job, but your boy is mature enough too.

Son came back 2day telling me he was punished for not doing his Eng homework properly…his teacher made him write down the consequences for not completing his hw and he had to sign it. Wow, I like it !!!

My elder boy was ranked bottom up in P4 cohort. He was apprehensible about going to CH5 initially. Luckily we met very responsible and caring teachers in CH5 (namely Mr Tan and Mdm Ling) who gave him lots of encouragement. We also avoided the normally seen tension at home becos I did not breathe down his neck at home.

Yesterday my P3 boy was revising the reminding CL tingxie. I left him alone to go through the list (since I have already gone through 2 cycles with him for the past two weeks CL tingxie). Knowing his bo-chap style, I told him 1st correction is to write 3 times, 2nd correction is to write 30 times and 3rd correction is to write 300 times. He believed my \"threat\" as we have gone through a similar punishment during the last hols.
