Hi Sembgal,


I am keen with the Math Olympid does your friend or yourself let your kids attend this training centre?
Knowing how tedious and heavy is the P3 school homework, as much as I would like my kid to have this training, I still need to consider if she got the extra time or not

Hi Happyparent222,

I know of friends who sent their children for Math Olympiad Training as it will increase the chances of their children going to NUS High if they can get gold awards.

My child learns Math Olympiad for her own interest and for personal challenge. The normal classroom Math curriculum lessons have bored her. Math Olympiad helps to sharpen her logical thinking skill. As long as she has the interest to learn, I will let her continue. I do not believe in pushing a child to Math Olympiad Training if the child has no interest. It will kill the child's interest towards Math!

Hi phtthp: My DD's school's PTC is only in May every year.

For those identified pupils, usually the weaker ones, parents will have a PTC with the teachers every term.

I find the mid-year PTC to be the most helpful as the teacher will give advice on how to improve on the weak areas and tell you the child's strengths.

But I don't think it is necessary to wait till PTC to find out the child's progress. As parents, we should be proactive to approach the teachers if we require feedback about our children.

The test scores will highlight the academic strength of the child so there is no point in asking how your child fares. But you can ask other questions like social-emotional aspect which will be more useful as compared to asking questions related to academic matters.
