woah is it so? I know that my kid forgot for a week and the tr wrote a big qns mark on the page.

[MMM]

Yah… my P2 didn’t fill up too. It stopped at page 1 and I didn’t hear of any punishment. During meet the teachers session, the CL HOD also mentioned about this book. They are encourage to do it but I don’t think they should be any penalty for not doing. It doesn’t make sense.

Ya, my P1 didnt mention about punishment for not completing on a daily basis and getting parents to sign. At the parents-teacher conference, the form teacher also mentioned that she is behind time in getting the kids to complete the pages in the booklet.

[MMM]

I asked my P2 today and he said that his teacher has stopped checking. Anyway, he is way behind as he only completed the 1st page.

Hi,

His homework appeared to be manageable. Homework is so far the problem sums and the maths workbook as teacher misplaced his book (but that was before CNY). He does have some occassional Hao Peng You to do. But usually he would tell me that he completed his homework in class so there is no homework. Happened to talk to his form teacher today and she related that he and some other friends usually finishes their homework fast so they ended up talking.... so I am trying to ask him to do something more productive and less \"disruptive\".

Which CL class is your girl in? He told me the best 3 class are CL9, CL8 and CL10 respectively. Could your daughter be in CL9 that's why there are given more????

my dd is in cl3. Every thursday she would have sin peng you homework...but every thursday she also has two hrs of English tuition at night...so kind of tiring and rush for her. Every tuesday( her ting sie day) morning she would insist me to test her ting sie again before I go to work. Maths not much school homework and English almost none except spelling which she has no problem so far ...Which chinese class is your ds in? Just had gathering with my JC friends and coincidentally 2 of them also intend to send their kids to MBS...yes!

I also notice that there is more work for CL and very very relax for EL and MA. When I flipped through the Y09 SA papers, I had a shock. It is so easy compared to the other sch’s papers.

Heard from a parent of another school that her dd has a lot of Maths homework....so probably that school emphasize alot on Maths... and for mbs, being a sap school, it need to up keep the high chinese standard... :idea:

That's great that your friends are keen on MBS too :lol: Are they alumni?

Actually, I feel MBS homework is really manageable even for my P3 whose class is behind schedule..... It appeared to be \"extended\" honeymoon period for them. I had expected a significant surge in level of homework.... Dunno good or bad.... different parents have different expectations :roll:

In our case, I feel that most of our time are on Enopi homeworks (he usually spend 2 evenings on that) as well as learning those spelling, tingxie. I will ask him to do assessment on free evenings.

He is currently in CL8 but his chinese level is ........Need alot of reinforcement type to make it happen. Eg. they have the recent CL test that will now form part of final results.
