moomoo2:

Thanks Zappy and Esteema for your inputs. Have been revising since Jan this year and more disheartening news surfaced. DS seems to have very very bad memory. He cant recall things that I teach yesterday. He will give a blank face as if is something new to him. I have to \"re-revise\" with him again and again. This make the process very slow and dry. The more I revised with him, the more things he dont know. I am scare and worry now. So much things to revise and teach and yet so little time.

He needs time to study, do homework, attends tuition, attends remedial, learn tingxie, do tuition homework etc. Left little time to do revision actually.
Feel like crying now....... so sad

Is your child taking Fish oil (Omega & DHA) regularly? If not, start today. Helps with focus and learning. If yes and mental processes still can't support, he may be a second child (by syndrome) or timid child, busy panicking. 12yrs old suitable for Vitamin B (complex). Those who are going for the kill may even consider Gingko pills, works like mental steroids, boost blood circulation and send electricity to the brain. Never allow your child to skip breakfast. If you see your child 'lazy', he has no energy to move. Need to eat.

Personally, I would say just do it, doesn’t matter if it is compulsory or not.
Get yr child a transparent pencil case or use a ziplock bag and save everyone (both the invigilator/student) the trouble.

(Dd’s time- her Teachers gave them transparent pencil case as children’s day gift but it was rather small, so we used the Ziplock bag instead )

Yes, but get the teacher's stamp with school logo on hardcopy dict or school sticker as approved for use device on electronic dict

b)

Yes

c)

Advisable, tho not compulsory

Similarly for electronic calculators, do get the teacher to put a school sticker as approved for use device.

Dd only brought the e-dict (with another spare) for exam purposes, e-dict is what she uses both at home and in school , so she is more comfortable with it.

It may work faster than printed form too.
If u r looking for a phrase like 未雨绸缪 for example, u just need to key in “wycm”, the 1st hypy of each word and the word list would appear immediately.
Of course, if yr child is more comfortable with the printed dictionary, then just go ahead and use it.

Some parents do not get the Chinese electronic dictionaries for 2 reasons :-


1. avoid kids focus too much on small screen
2. Train kids in lower primary to familiarize with Chinese strokes & they register better that way bcoz that’s how Chinese word DS are linked (木， 水， 忄， 亻， 土，etc)

That’s how I speed up my kids learning after I realised our kids foundation not as strong as PRC kids & not easy to drill in. Each compre (理解问答) or compo (作文) work, my kids will use the hardcopy to aid them with word recognition thro word search. When lower Pri, it’s time consuming but they’ve the time to be trained to set learning right. But doubt it’s practical to train fr P5 - too little time towards PSLE. Just sharing
