Hi janet_lee88,


Do you mind revealing the score of English PSLE result of your elder child?
Which English tuition class did your child go to previously?

Thanks.

B.

as for English tuition, please don't ask.

[Happy75]

I’m sorry. I may have upset you.

My son is still not improving even tuition in Mindstretcher since K2, getting worse in his English compo, hope to find better centre. I can’t teach as I scored "C" for my PSLE.

it's ok...i'm not upset.

the syllabus has changed a great deal. I am unable to coach my daughter for her compo either. my A for english was donkey years ago, I may even fail if I have to re-sit psle.

dd2 didn’t do so well for situational writing. dd1 was so dissatisfied and said how can get this kind of result blah blah blah, she threatened to drill dd2 for another 3 hours on situational writing. On the other hand, i just said ‘oh okay, 加油’


dd1 told dd2 she is expecting a certain mark for dd2’s Science, yet to know result. dd2 looking scared hearing her sister’s expectation lol

My dh finds the three of us amusing. jie jie’s expectation super high. Mummy will just say okay, 加油. dd2 is more scared of dd1 than mummy. She wont hesitate to tell me her result because i always accept her grades

My role is to encourage and keep dd2 motivated, cannot criticize her because i feel that she lacks confidence. And she has very high expectations of herself so i have to balance her expectation by lowering mine

:hi5:
Same situation here.
I am very relieved when she passes...but for this sa2, I have to raise my expectations a little.
My son raises his voice when she forgets what he has taught...and that's when she starts crying...i will have to step in to defuse the tension. Son will start complaining, 'this is unfair. Why aren't you scolding her? I taught her and she forgot.'

I didn't realise.

What you can do is get him to read more story books this holidays. It helps a lot in writing.

[Happy75]

Thanks. Everyone says so. But he browses the storybooks most of the time, even ask him to write book review, he won’t do. But his vocabulary quite good when he does MCQ questions. Just compo, really cannot make it. I think I can write better.

[janet88]

Next week got to start English revision…comprehension, vocab, compo needs to be ramped up.
