Thanks. Still nothing for me. I will stay online for a while longer, just in case NUSH has yet to key in for DS 's class

The teachers will usually contact parents earlier if there is compulsory meeting, so no news means good news. :evil:

Is the booking for compulsory meeting open?


Super Nervous

Almost like last year, while waiting for results

Actually after script checking, you will know more or less how your DC fare.

Thanks.


All DS came back were his scores and the standard "average" when asked how he performed as compared to his peers. Thus, no idea whether he is able to keep up with them and the pace of teaching.

Are you planning to book for the optional meeting? It would be a good idea to meet .

In my experience, this has proved very beneficial. Besides the acads, you get the teachers perspective of the child. Most do give some inputs like about class participation, what kind of prep work they can do, how to overcome their weakness, in areas of their interest what else they can do, what to expect the next sem, other opportunities , etc. Some do talk more, some are to the point. Overall I have seen facets of my child that I did not know about and in the areas i knew as her weakness suggestions to overcome, thanks to their inputs. I usually ask some question and let the teacher and DD interact. DD is more responsive to their suggestions than she would be to mine. I actually look forward to the PTMs.

Just prep a couple of questions, and let the meeting evolve from there. Some teachers are like what do you want to know, since you asked for the meeting ? Maybe because they are by nature reticent, but also because they feel that it is time for the child to take care of themselves. If you can get your child involved, a conversation gets started between the teacher and the child and that is very effective. But it can be tricky at times to do that.

If your Ds is a quiet kid, would be good to prep him to be open. And remind him this is an opportunity to seek guidance. If he is an extrovert, then no problem, lah.
