2016 PSLE Discussions (Born in 2004)

Now too late for me.
Should have done it when he was in lower primary.
Since last yr, he will argue with me, saying that I don’t trust him when I call/text to check on him every 1-2 hrs.
Guess I’ll let him continue his "lifestyle" (playing computer/ phone games as daily relaxation) as long as he maintains his results. Don’t want to spoil our relationship because of schoolwork. … Though, I hope he can improve and make it to IP/IB school. -
if learning ability and syllabus is ahead, then i will definitely feel relieved.
hubby usually takes evening walks. i thought of going for a walk to lose some weight...daughter wanted to go along when she still has school homework to be completed. simply no sense of urgency :mad: -
its another PSLE yr for my DD2. from my past experiences with my DS & DD1, their PSLE results was pretty close to their P5 & P6 Prelim… so roughly I could tell how my DD2 is doing… All kids have diff levels of abilities & i do hope my last DC will have some motivation & encouragement from her elder bro/sis to do well in her PSLE tis yr. I thk luv & care is the most impt factor in a child’s development. To be there when they need the most & try not to compare them with someone. I restrict their TV programs during weekdays & i will try to go back early & seat around with them to see how their studies. Nowadays kids are really stress out in sch so the last thing they need is someone nagging at them when they reached home. When they have peace of mind, then they will study better.

Comparison is a no-no…every child is different.
With some experience having gone through once with older one, I try not to repeat mistakes made. More hands-on this time and working closely with the tutors to be back up on the other 6 days when there is no tuition. -
My dd is in P6, too. Subscribing to this thread.

Yes. Agree the homework is a lot and my DS1 is having 4 supplementary class per week (for all the 4 subjects)!! Weekend are spent clearing school work too. Trying hard to even squeeze some time for self revision :stupid: -
Same problem with DD. Also, there is CCA competition in March, two days a week go towards CCA. She is too exhausted to do any more than homework after. :slapshead:

One of the things you can do (in primary school only) is pre-empt the subject teachers about tournament and CCA and explain to them that DC may not be able to complete all the hw during this period and addd that you are committed to ensuring that he/she will catch up at the earlier possible time.
Of course, this totally does not work for secondary school...
During tourney season there is very little time for our P6s. I watch over my DS2 like a hawk to help to make sure that he focuses on getting his school work done. Other work like assessment books during this time is kept to nil or a bare minimum. And sometimes tuition also has to take a back seat. Sleep and rest are paramount. -

Agree with you. I guess it's also a fine line between tourney and lessons if planning to DSA. This is my major problem. The tourney is good exposure at the risk of losing out to the revision for PSLE. All I can do right now is go day-by-day or max per week plan. No chance to make a full revision plan. As you say, I will watch like a hawkkiasu_mummy:
