E3,

I agree with you. Any typo errors should be informed before the start of any exam and written on the board if necessary.

Son cried because he was afraid I would cane him. I told him to learn from his mistakes, not to make them again and work harder for SA1. There's a long way to go and caning him will only make him more fearful. He's already facing stress in school from his teachers, why make life more pressuring? I think he really has to practice more in the area on Models and Heuristics.

For my younger one, I've got Simon Eio's Problem-solving for P1 (kiasu ) because Fabian Ng doesn't have it.

What kiasu? You forgot we are in which forum? :lol: Hey, if she can manage, why not?

My boy only got back his EL results. Only 79.5 vs mock paper 92. What went wrong???


Among the MA worksheets returned to us after the MA CA1, I found extremely careless mistakes and beat his palm with a ruler for each mistake. Since the Sc paper ended, I made him work on Fabian Ng’s worksheets. Really cannot take it easy and let go. I also discovered his mental calculations were not as fast as it used to be. Wonder if the brain is revealing its toil due to not used to morning session.

This Mar hols is going to be loaded with revision and MA practices.

The teacher-parent meeting is next week. Dun think I will speak to the FT. She’s already having pregnancy issues, no need to rely on her to buck up my child’s performance.

Did you ask him for general performance of class? Rounded up is 80 so 10% is 8 marks. If he gets 90, overall is just 1 more mark. Can be earned back from SAs.

Yes, I don't plan to relax too much too, will still keep revision going during hols as it's still first half of the year. Teacher had already pre-empted them on holiday work. Taking a little break from the academics this week cos got to work on piano theory exam.

E3,

I just bought the assessment book, but have not started her on it.
Got bundled set of Maths books (Li Fanglan) for P1 from Popular....heuristics, 6-in-1 and something on mental sums. Determined not to make the same mistake for younger one.

Jennifer,
This March holidays will not be a fun-filled one. No choice, have to start preparing for SA1 given such poor results.

Parent-teacher meeting next Friday...don't dare to face his teachers...wondering who is the one who sat for CA :oops:
My son's FT also pregnant, but don't think it's fair to ask her to buck up on my son's studies.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. No doubt, it's good to catch up on first term's work but no matter what, I believe our kids had tried their best for the exam. The trick is to find a balance. It's good to bring up your concerns with your FTs next week. I believe a good plan can be thought out. Stay positive.

Hi


With regards to the PTM, we were allocated a time slot to meet the FT. Do we need to make an appointment to meet with the other subject teachers at the time stated in the form?

May not work out because they will put you at the end of the queue if the subject teachers are also FTs of other classes. You will not be given priority. I only got to meet FT and Chinese teacher last year. Math teacher had a long queue of her own students from her form class. We decided to give it a miss. Some parents may be offended if you cut queue.

Hi E3,

KS here has drawn up a time-table for the 1 week…focus on areas of weaknesses but PLAY time at night (no rest means punishing myself too)

Hi ruaqt,
If you have been allocated a time slot to meet the FT, follow that timing. If no time slot is given for the other teachers, I’m afraid you will have to wait for them in the classrooms/hall. When they are done with other parents, then you can meet her.
