Hi Working Kiasu mum


I am Kia su. Ha ha> But My daugher top in class & school for last 2 yrs. Hope it will maintain these results top 5 in school is all I'm asking for. Not Asking hoping in my heart. Dare not ask. Do not want to stress her. I always tell her Do yr best. TRY every questions do not leave blank.

so that's the result of kiasu-ness. I guess I am like that too. So do you still go through her work with her every night? or just let the centres do their job?

[MMM]

Redrose,


Can you share where your kids are gg to for enrichment classes? Just want to get a feel on the schools to attend to sustain top 5 in school.

My girl was no.6 in class but ended up 111/ 330 in school… I am hoping to improve her std result next year.

My P3 girl


piano 145
maths 300
science 200
chinese 140 + 300
english 200

Excluding swimming. This is the minimum.

Hi Redrose
Just curious what does \"chinese 140 + 300\" cover? I presume the rest refer to personal tuitor on 1-1 basis?

[redrose]

I will go through her schoolbag every night. Make sure she does her homework. I will go through her maths & english.I believe in practise, practise and more practise. So I will gave her assessment almost every day. But she will stopwork by 5 every day. That’s her free time after that.

Chinese 140+300 (3 times weekly) I am ZERO in chinese.Therefore need more help.

Hi Redrose,


Thanks for your response. My new year resolution is to try to do that with my 2 kids (P1 and P2 in 2009) next year. Unless of course if I am travelling then it can’t be help. Hopefully daddy can do his part then.

Hi EN

[quote]Primary school
English - $160 (cause his sister says the class is fun & he must join in otherwise $0) [/quote]Can share the name of the centre for the English enrichment that your dd find it fun. How's your ds taking it, is he enjoying it as well?

Hi Working Kiasu Mom,

may I know how come you are paying 2 Chinese tuition? as I realized your child in Jiang Lao Shi… my son is in their GP class. Probably you can try out. The class duration is 3 hrs … for upper primary (P3 onwards, it includes Compo every lesson). I hope this will help to reduce your cost a little…

Hi Comfy1,


Since your kid is at Jiang Lao Shi Gifted class, can I have some feedback on their gifted class and normal 1.5hr enrichment class> Thanks.

Hello Barney


It’s Morris Allen Study Centre. I sit in one of dd class years ago. It’s really fun. I don’t even realize that 1 hour has gone so quickly. I would want a sit in next year to have a feel of what is being taught for both dd & ds.

I know dd is having fun because her class came out running noisily, laughing. Extremely in high spirit. For ds, it’s more subdued. He’s not happy that he is being restricted to borrow books which he finds interesting. They have to borrow books weekly & sometime will need to share with the class on what they read.

However, during the parents teachers meeting, the teachers do give good information & tips. I’m changing both of them to creative writing. See how it impacts their mood.

Weekdays 1.5 hours is cheaper. They also has 2 hours weekday class. The most expensive will be the weekend 2 hour classes.

Thanks EN for sharing


I know Moris Allen has a centre at East Point, will check it out when I have the time, still searching for English enrichment for my gal going P1 in a few weeks time. She has never had any enrichment for English, hope she’s able to cope in P1.
