E3/Jennifer,

I spoke to a friend recently…her neighbour pushed the boy in all areas, and just b4 P6, the boy ‘shut down’. He didn’t get into a desirable sec school. I don’t really push my son a lot…his biggest problem is not that he doesn’t know but just super careless and hurries to finish his exams. So now we don’t tell him to check, but to RE-DO even with any exercises done at home.

pench,

my gal going to the trip. I heard from her that her class all those going are gals. 1 boy withdrew, when he knows that he’s the only boy in their class going.

Hi P4 parents, is this Malacca trip opened to all p4 classes? Which subject is it related to? How many days? Has it been an on-going trip for p4? Thanks.

madragon, e3,

thanks for the replies re 看图造句 and sentence-making:) thought the all hypy bit sounded fishy. haha!


jennifer,
i subscribe to the \"not everyone's made for greatness\" belief but in the run up to sa1, am having trouble living up to it... at least in the assessment books dept looking ahead, it will probably take superhuman willpower on my part not to pressure him to do any assessment books when it's his turn for the psle... for that i take my hat off to you.

E3,
This Malacca trip is not for all classes. My son told me they have to write a compo why he should be chosen to go...he wasn't keen, so he didn't write anything. It's a 3D 2N kinda of trip.

It really depends on the child. My elder boy can be trusted in his daily work to give me the assurance he does not need more. Cant say the same for my younger one.

Just last night I went thr' the recent worksheets returned, I lost control and caned him on the palm for every careless mistakes he made. Can you imagine at P3 now, he still forgets to capitalise a letter when required or to not capitalise and missing his fullstops? Getting simple subtraction wrong for more than one qn? Upon qn'g him how it was possible, he told me he did not bother to work out the qn properly :stupid: And the OE compreh, using the wrong tense to present the ans even though I have on numerous occasions revised and reminded him to circle the verb in the qn to remind himself the correct verb to be used in the ans. Argh :x

jennifer,
i can understand your pain cos my P2 is the same! even if he had circled the verb in the OE question, he still gets the tenses wrong! :stupid:
and to add, simple copying of answers from the OE passage or Cloze Passage with helping words, the spelling of the words also can get it wrong! :stupid:
his math workbook, have answers at working column, but no answers at equation sentence. :stupid: not to forget handwriting making him lose marks (eg 'fifty' write like 'fiftg') . :x

ya, they requested to write the 'reasons' to be selected for the trip..
it's 3D2N P4 Malacca Immersion Programme, visiting plantations, farms, orphanage, churches, museums....

Jennifer,

For problem sum Math, my son can copy the wrong number from start, so he is wrong right from start. :x OR else he will leave out units of measurement. For OE, he also makes mistakes for his tenses at P4 !!! For Chinese OE, he can leave out the important characters to get the necessary marks
