      hi

      This reminds me of my girl's P1 chinese teacher...also very strict (maybe its the same one). She corrected my girl's writing of her chinese name twice. Me scratched head, compared with dictionary and stuff..in the end asked her to follow the teacher's instruction.

      Argh, I pray hard my boy does not get her as a CL teacher.

      The CL teacher called this morning to seek my cooperation in ensuring my boy's handwriting improves :?:

      Not sure whether we are referring to the same person but she is quite good. She expects them to expand the Chinese compo too.

        E3,

        This teacher you mentioned ? Does she teach lower or upper primary ?
        My son’s handwriting is atrocious and if she teaches my son’s class, I would see an improvement in his handwriting. I have been telling him to write neatly and nicely to prevent marks being lost. Teachers are not going to be patient to figure out what he is writing.

          My dd is P2. She mentioned this teacher taught P1 and P2 last year. I am not sure whether she had ever taught the upper primary before. Her current FT taking them Eng and Math taught P4 last year. I guess some teachers do move around. Perhaps only the P5 and P6 teachers are more fixed.

            E3,

            I heard from a friend whose 2 kids are in P4 & 5. She told me that teachers who teach lower primary will be sticking to those levels. Those in P5 and 6 are the more experienced ones as they gotta prepare the children for PSLE.

            My son is in P4 this year and already I’m feeling the stress. Dare not imagine the pressure he faces next year. My neighbour has a son in P5. She told me her son mentioned ‘STRESSED’.

              I know of teachers moving from P2 to P4. You are right, the P5 and P6 teachers are untouchables! We have to be prepared mentally since we let our kids study in a SAP school to face a little more pressure. Take a step back and see whether you can reorg or re-prioritise some of his activities, maybe just need to improve on time-management. I heard from a P5 parent last year that homework was quite heavy for the upp Pri.

                just realised that parents need to pay for CCA, cost more than $100 for each! :roll:

                  E3,

                  I guess P5 is the year that teachers are teaching as much as possible bcos there isn’t much time to do so at P6.

                  Since we have put him in a SAP school, I have to learn that it is like a pressure cooker. He doesn’t have enrichment lessons or packed with tuition classes except for Chinese since P1. However, I feel that he has to attend creative writing to help with his compo.

                  If homework is heavy at P4, then I suppose it will get worse next year. But I want him to drop Higher CL in the hope that he will not be spending too much time. Poor kids.

                    Those conducted by external coaches cost more. Last year, the forms given were more comprehensive with stated payments and details of individual CCA.

                      Yup, Mrs Chang is one of the tr who taught P2 and now FT of P4. If I compare phpps(SAP) with my child's ex school (neighbourhood school), the difficulty level is comparable for EL and Maths (stressful). CL is much much more difficult (HCL + mine is not using CL as frequent as I wish). Ok lah, I am refering to lower primary in ex school.
