I am hoping that the school don't give them too much hw
But I believe the school should to ensure everyone is equally prepared and less reliant on external help, incl from parents. That being said, maybe they can make it optional, ie, parents can decide whether to complete the hw or not. -
Drilling will start when school reopens. I suppose they will be doing practice papers after practice papers.
So I only ask dd to do revision this holiday. Leave the drilling to school teachers when school reopens. -
The problem I have with ds’ school is they do not mark the papers properly and do not have time to go thru corrections with the kids. They give a lot of worksheet because they have to.

dd's P already told all parents that sch's hw should priority over any tuition/enrichment hw...... looks like the sch is going to :nunchuk: :nunchuk: :nunchuk: after sch re-open :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:
i think is good, otherwise dd still :snooze: :snooze: :snooze: -
I'm gonna leave my dd in the sch teachers' and tutor's hands. She is cooperative when doing their assigned work. Anything from me are extras that she moan n groan about. I'll let the teachers be the bad guys
I think whether it is reasonable to expect our dc to do extra practice papers or not really depends on the overall amt of work given by sch, tutors n parents. Towards SA1, I did 'politely declined' some work from dd's CL tutor when I saw her struggling to meet the sch teachers' dateline. -

Really donch think the cher will have time to mark. But should make an effort to provide worked answers or option to download it. -
Teachers have no time to mark so many past year papers come august…the students exchange to mark…but what is important is knowing why a mistake is made and explained…again this hardly is done.

They usually give answer sheet for the students to check but it is not effective learning.

Just answers or with workings?
But must remember, this is revision time...not to re-teach what was previously taught. As long as concept is sound, should not have problem understanding the solution. -
Next week, a drilling process starts......
5 days a week - intensive class after school dismissal
Last till end of term 3. :faint:
I am afraid it will be just like the law of diminishing return.... :yikes:
