Hi, anyone enroll their kids with SmartLab before? Heard they are now introducing their year end holiday programs with revision classes, enrichments classes, labs and also head start classes. Should be a good opportunity to enroll my kids so they can learn something during the 2 months school holidays if not this long break will make them forget what they learnt before and it’s always good to start early. Lol good to be kiasu abit.

are the programs meant to be conducted only during the holidays?
you going to continue with the classes when new school term starts?

I don’t know what to expect of ds. When he was younger, I thought he would be able to do very well for psle because he seemed to cope well in school without tuition. Now, I am not so sure. I Find myself worrying a lot this year. Questions like is he doing enough revision, does he need extra support will keep popping up in my mind when the exams are near. Should I go a little bit easier on myself and stop worrying about him, let him find his own pace? But it seems like if I don’t ask, he can do his own things for the longest time.

I have checked the list of the revisions topics are meant to refresh what they have learnt which I feel will benefit my kid and the head start classes are good for my kid to learnt before he goes to S2 next year, well after this holiday programs, can continue with their tutorial classes with Smartlab

I wish I can let go and forget about books after sa2…unfortunately it is not to be. for me, it’s not about being kiasu…more like kiasi. better start p6 work earlier than having teachers go like bullet trains when 2016 begins.
