Sleepy's dd2 is in GEP isn't it? Sleepy, you are referring to her results in GEP right? Confused..
my son is not the top...above average. but my younger one is the lower percentile kind...like you, I don't ask about class average because that will freak me out even more.sleepy:
in the midst of adjusting. My dd1 always among top in her class so i kenna big shock with dd2. Below baseline this kind of thing never happen before with dd1
Nowadays my standard question to dd2 is can meet baseline? Very jialut
I didn't even bother to ask class average, get freak out once more only
But i cant scold dd2, can only tell her ε ζ²Ή
sleepy, we are in the same boat. -
Doing well or not is relative. My boy will tell me he mess up if he discovered 1-2 careless mistakes.

But then again, need look at that child's usual performance. If your dd's classmate has been getting 98 all along, then to her 93 could be bad
Exactly! -

TA, i dont understand the point of your question

That is irrelevant.
The gist is i believe all concerned parents felt the same way
Janet :hugs: thanks for empathizing. -

Sorry. I may have come across as being insensitive. My apologies to those I have offended. -
Actually, if my younger girl gets 70s range in her subjects, I am already very happy. She is responsible enough to complete her school homework by herself, but she is not so hardworking to the extend of revising her works/exam. At 9pm, she will tell us that is her sleeping time. So, getting 70s to us is considered as very good. Just stay consistently in this range, we are already happy for her. She just passed her Maths this time round as she failed her maths in SA2. We didn't scold her as it could be good to let her learn her lesson before she goes P5.
In usual case, she will tell us, aiyah..my Maths is very poor one lah. But this time, she told us, it would be good if she gets 80s for her Maths too (She gets 80s for her Eng). She was feeling very upset when she got back her Maths paper. We didn't scold her, instead we told her that's the result of not working hard. We asked her to work hard and try again next year. Her mood is better these few days and she is more well behave than before. Hopefully this will stay.

Yes, encouragement is very important
My dd is the blur sotong, untidy and δΈ’δΈθ½ε kind of ε°θΏ·η³. She's very cute though
But she has a meticulously neat sister, so that sort of demoralised dd2 since young because she cannot be as 'good' as her elder sis. 'good' is by dd2's own definition la. My definition of good is different. by my definition, dd2 is very good - obedient, affectionate. I like I like!
That's why we have been sensitive and trying not to compare or criticise her too much. She already lacked confidence and I think that's affecting her result espeically Oral. I have been encouraging her to speak up more but not very successful at that
I believe it is demoralizing to live under a sibling's shadow. I hope to help her overcome that and improve her confidence level.
My girls are lovey dovey though. -

If your ds is a perfectionist, he will be stressed hor. Not to scare you. Just a word of caution.
Heard your ds got in to gep. Your diligence pays off. Congrats TheAnswer:
I am talking about EL subject in particular, if you trace my earlier post with pen88 and Steadyberry.I'm concerned about how much the marks will fall. Not quite mentally prepared for that. I'm a little surprised by the extend you described.

I know what you mean. My elder girl is performing well in many aspects too, studies, sports and music. My younger always tell everyone her sister is very good in many areas. To be frank, the only thing my younger lack of is engine/energy. She does not have the energy and engine to push herself. She will just do the minimal and she is happy. She is a happy go lucky kind. I really love her, love her because she is very caring, helpful and thoughtful. She will make sure that she will get something for her sister if she is out but my elder will hardly think of getting anything for her younger sister. I have been telling my elder girl that no doubt meimei is very naughty, she is actually a very kind hearted girl. She loves and cares for everyone of us so she must loves her sister too and takes good care of her. -
Oh My Gosh:
Wow full marks! mine never get full mark for Oral before
Chinese oral is out of 50 marks? That's quite heavy weightage. I practise oral with my children out of everyday scenarios. For example when we went to hawker centres for breakfast, I will ask her to describe the hawker centre (almost like the Chinese Kan-tu-shuo-hua). When we are waiting for bus to their enrichment, i will ask them to describe the bus-stop, how many people, etc. It really helps. Try it... as she do more, she will be less stiff. So far, DS has been scoring full marks for his English and Chinese oral... and it helps in his Paper 2 which is ... sigh... lolsleepy:
My dd's weakness is definitely Oral. She only get 30+ out of 50 for Chinese and low 20 out of 30 for English. Even her class presentation, teacher also commented she's stiff
She wasn't like that in lower primary. No problem with show and tell le. Now condition deteriorating...
Not sure what to do with her tongue-tight cannot think clearly panicky mode. She used to attend speech and drama till p1. Not sure if I should resume her speech and drama class. She is so self conscious of herself this recent 2 years. Haiz
Thanks for the tip!
dd2's CL paper 1 & 2 result still acceptable. Problem is she gets nervous easily. And of course careless mistakes everywhere for ALL subjects
With Oral, lagi worst loh, because 1 to 1 with teacher. Tongue tied and kancheong till she cannot think and answer properly :faint:
