All About GEP

[sunflowermom]

Dear GEPers’ parents out there. Do u hv any English tutor at CCK area to recommend for my DS? He is in P5 GEP. Since P4, his EL CT is either marginally pass or marginally fail. Can tell he is starting to get demoralise. Thot get him a tutor to improve his grade and boost up his confidence cos I cannot teach EL.

I think other then going for tuition, your ds must find time to do reading also. This should help in the cloze passage I supposed. :lol:

It's OPT- IN .


And, not to worry, no penalty for not taking the gep screening test. :lol:

Only selected pupils enter the 2nd round.

Yes, I think it's opt-in...if my memory didn't fail me...

strange

what school is not ? or is it up to school to decide ?

my older child's P3 year was an opt in (2004)

and my younger child's P3 year was an opt out (2007) same school as above

since then, my kids' cousins were an opt out (2009) one same school as above and one another school in the west = all opt out basis

Thanks vlim for the advice. He loved reading and reads quite a wide varieties of books too (except classic). Sometimes I wonder could it be he speed read and missed out the details?

[vlim]

my ds also read very fast especially when he find the story very exciting or interestin...he will read super duper fast...but never see him use dictionery to check for difficult word

Zann, Way2go, Clueless mama,

The normal worksheets on this are much tougher than the practice papers he brought back and teacher confirmed the test will be on arithmetic sequences.
Hope this helps.

Dear all,
Don't be unduly worried.
Sleep well tonight.
The kids will be alright!

my older child's P3 year was an opt in (2004) (GEP school)

and my younger child's P3 year was an opt out (2007) same GEP school as above

since then, my kids' cousins were an opt out (2009) one same GEP school as above and one another school (non-GEP) in the west = all opt out basis

I will leave it as it is - opt in or out depends on the school itself
