I do not know when the book will ariive if ordered through the sch. My boy told me it is $53 when ordered through school.

My boy did not order from sch, thinking I am going to buy 2nd hand.

The teacher confirmed it is 11th Edition, author Paul G Hewitt.

Bou from Clementi Bookstore, sch sells $53 (according to my boy).

:? :? :? Hmmm ... I am lost ... I am not sure what you guys talking about ... :? :?

There is a advanced creative writing course (tied with Stanford Uni) running for JH2 students. The sch sent out invitations to JH1 students to see if the response warrants starting a similar prog for JH1 students. If the course is up running, it will be conducted during the mid-year hols. Seems like nothing is finalised as we did not recd any more letters/notices.

My boy showed me a letter on this writing course last night. Confirmed on, subsidised fees $800+

So your son going for this course?

I found out more about the MO training. It's for those ranked within top 30 in year 1 & 2 during the ICMC(Intra-college math competition) held in Feb. My boy is going for this.

Interestingly, Jennifer, he's also not consistent. He was so careless in his Math Test that he didn't do all that well. He made all careless mistakes in the easy questions but got all the difficult questions correct. *haha* That's one of his problems all this while actually, even in primary school. I wonder why. Strange kid.

Hubby said let him try for the writing course.

Congrats to your boy.

It seems boys are like this. Everytime I complain, he would retort that he has tried his very best to be careful. The most recent Maths test was badly done. I was doing revision with my younger boy then and noticed that my younger boy reads a qn very quickly, leading to higher chances of carelessness. So I told my elder boy to read a qn from the Maths test. My hunch was proven correct- he speed reads the qn. So I told him to try slowing down when reading a qn. Let's see if this method helps. Else I also don't know what to do :x
