Jennifer:

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

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.

I had been a faithful follower of the timings for PTM for the past 3 years. My elder boy has a different teacher for each subject (P4, P5 and P6). Imagine going to school on time but q’d n finally met all the teachers (for both kids) till almost 6pm!


This year only need to meet 2 teachers. But plan to go as early as possible to avoid the q. Btw many parents talk non-stop and do not adhere to the 10-15 mins cap. The teachers also just let the parents go on and on.

WoW :shock: That's almost like camping in the school the whole day isn't it? except no sleepover only. And I thought I would have the rest of the afternoon free to bring her go jalan jalan with husband. Then the children how? they stay at home and do you guys bring them along too?

You are very patient. Cannot imagine when my no 2 or no 3 starts school in PH. May also hv the same problem.

ruaqt2, I brought my dd along last year. They are required to put on their school-u. Her appt this year is at 8am. We may go earlier to meet her Chi teacher first.
