Need to start preparing now. Preparing for PSLE is a really a 2-year effort (some even say it starts from P1). Need to put your ds in the right frame of mind now.

My ds school doesn't give a lot of hw. Most of the time, no hw. Last wk, also no hw except 1 compo. Since the beginning of the yr, no supp class except science. Think only few lessons for term 2 & term 3 each. Even hcl also, 2 lessons cancelled & 2 lessons early released last term. So my son is very free everyday.

My friend's ds school gave so much hw. He stays back 3-4 times a week. So I m a bit worried on how my ds school is preparing the kids for psle. Another thing which worries me is the exam papers set by my ds school. I am comparing my ds school papers with 2 schools within the neighborhood. Ours were easier. No wonder so easy to get 90 & above. In p5, it is no longer easy to get even A. So told my son to minus 10 marks aft x 0.72.

I'm curious what is the mentality of the teacher ? is it they don't want to mark so many homework hence didn't give much homework ? but of course those teachers whom give a lot of homework doesn't mean that they are hardworking and good too just like my child's teacher. Every day also got homework but didn't seem to teach especially on English and Chinese compo and Science. So, we parents have to 包山包海

I really hv no idea. Maybe they r in p5, so the teachers bo chap. Moreover, his p5 teachers might not be teaching my son’s class again nx yr. So none of their business la nx yr.

Re English & Chinese compo. I just asked my son. He did 1 English compo last term, excluding last week's hw. No Chinese compo at all. Really can't blame my son if he can't write. If send to enrichment class, they also do not do compo every week. If sign up for extra compo class for both CL & EL :moneyflies:

Doesn't sound good at all. You need to check if the P6 kids had extra remedial / supplementary classes, especially during the March and June holidays, this year. Speak to other parents. In the meantime, get organise! If your boy is weak in Chinese compo, retrieve all essays already done (put in one file) during the enrichment class & school and get him to revise.
