P4 to P5 is another jump??? Aiyo… jialat.


How does schools/ teachers decide Foundation versus Standard subjects? Solely based on results? But there are students who are not bad, but they just did not do well in exams. Also, if go into Foundation class, does that mean all subjects will be taken at Foundation level? Cos some subjects may not be as bad as others.

p2-p3 is a small jump…because of the introduction of science.

p4-5 is a more drastic jump…it’s not just math getting tougher, there will be 4 new topics for science.

[quote=\"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.

No improvement at mind stretcher since K2 and you still want to count on it.. ???My advice is go look for other options. My gal with them for 1 yr before also no progress and in fact worse so quit.. I look at the way they teach and has no faith. I used to ask my gal after every lesson if she had learnt anything and she just shrugged off. She didn't learn the rules on grammar and techniques on answering compre there..

Any centres to recommend? Must be affordable. Another centre - Creative Horizon is closing down this year. But personally, I feel they are more enrichment, not very singapore exam-orientated.
So difficult to find a cheap and good centre:([/quote]
I agreed I shouldn't stay with them but I can't find a good one with weekend time slots 9-11am near my place and affordable price. But there is one thing I need to be fair to Mindstretcher, my DS is having at 80-85 marks for Paper 2 for the past years, with good foundation of grammer and vocabulary at least. Mindstretcher is the one helping him all this while cos I don't really teach him. But just not composition and comprehension.

though my daughter is not taking her psle next year, i am still worried how she will cope for p5. her comprehension and compo are still her weak areas.

A pat on the back for all mummies and daddies (not sure if there are daddies on this forum as well). Exams are over and we deserved a short break before the tough gets going again :)!

Did badly for paper 2 :slapshead:

My ds too. Didnt do well for his CL paper 2 :hi5:

Not CL but EL

Not sure how that happen, result keep slipping. Lower primary EL result was still reasonably acceptable
Somehow foundation was not steady enough so now start falling apart

Not just weak in one or two areas but consistently bad in all sections

Don't know oral and compo marks either, so not sure how she fare for EL overall. Heard from frens that their kids din't do well for EL paper 2 as well - paper pitch at too high a level?
