Wesim:

During the PTM, her form teacher did not mention about streaming, even though I asked. She said there will be two best classes - one for language and the other for Math and Science . :

Huh ?
P2, where got Science subject ?

did you ask your Teacher : If no Science at P2, then why she say out of the 2 best classes, one class is for Maths & Science ?

[Wesim]

Erh…I didn’t ask becos I just want my dd do well for her SA2 only. Didn’t really care which class she goes lah.

When the child is in the top class, grades between every student are very close. They would be scoring high As and most need tuition (sometimes 2 tutors for one subject) to stay in present position. Friend’s son attended group tuition after school at enrichment centre and private tuition at home.

for P3 to P6 -


so far, which centre teach both Chinese (Comprehension & Composition) lessons combined together in one lesson, not separated, every week ?

ie. combined 理 解 问 答 和 作 文 together, in one same lesson, every week ?

Not Alternate week Compo, then next week Compreh, that kind

Time is tight. Get private tutor to prepare your P2 child for SA2 exam is a better solution. Besides sending the child to Chinese tuition centre such as Berries or Tien Hsia, the child also needs to have intensive private Chinese tuition if Chinese is the weakest subject. But don’t get ripped off by the exorbitant tuition fee, set a rate that you are comfortable to pay the tutor. Don’t get fooled by tuition agents too. Be smart and set your criteria to tuition agency. Some are bogus!! How can they claim to have 1000 tutors. Big joke.

Thanks very much, to both sembgal and Champion, for that Salim Compreh book.


Yes, time is very tight now : so many component to prepare.
Next big thing is the Year end paper.

There was a jump from P1 to P2, if compare same time last year with now, ESP from Semester 2 onwards.
By now, P2 exam timetable should be out, in most schools.
Tomorrow is start of October (exam month)

Some schools emphasize a lot on last Term 4 (60%), while (Term 1 to Term 3 together combined) constitute 40%, while other schools the other way round.
Different schools : different weightage, on last Term 4.
