All About GEP

[ksme]

ks2me:

Sorry to interrupt...I am curious after reading some of the discussion. It seems that GEP parents are very involved in their kids' assignments, so I wonder if:


A. Are the assignments so tough? or
B. Instructions from teachers not clear? or
C. Parents are just worried that the kids cannot remember to complete everything that has been assigned as it is overwhelming?
D. All of the above
E. Your own answer

Thanks.

Hehe... I think for me is all of the above. Maybe it is a boys thing. My DS tends to be quite careless or maybe he does not pay attention in school. Sometimes he will miss certain things from school and we found out as surprise last min from friends or when he gets scolding from teacher.

Plus since I am now SAHM, must make sure he doesn't miss anything major or I will not be able to account my value add for staying home to my hubby.

emm.... it seems like this year p4 gep assignments are not quite the same as last yr p4 gep assignments :roll: ..last yr my ds did not do the solar cooker project and the tic tac toe fairy tale assignment...

Solar Cooker is the first year for this Science assignment. Heard last year was a different assignment on cells and membranes? The Tic Tac toe fairy tale english assignment should not be new leh. The worksheet seems to have started since 2007 (footer sstated fairy tales/term2/geo/2007) Maybe your child completed without you knowing?

yap last yr they did the cells and membranes project,,

Not for my P5 DS too. No tic-tac-toe fairy tale nor solar cooker last year. I told him about this GE P4 year’s solar cooker project and he said no fair - this year’s more interesting. Last year’s cell city was super boring for him.

Thank you for pandering to my curiosity, at least I understand better.

And when I ask my DS, then I get the answer \"YEAH\" . That why we come here to sniff out all these thing that our DS do.
