I think each parent has her own tolerance for the child's academic failure.

I am bracing myself for the possibility that ah boy might not be promoted to JC2.
I rather let him learn a life lesson \"set your priorities right\" now.
少壮不努力
老大徒伤悲

:snuggles: There are still a few weeks to promo exams. Tell Ah Boy to give his all in the next few weeks. It is better to study like crazy now than enduring another year of studying the same thing again. Jia you, Ah Boy!

Good advice. Jen, give him advice lah, even if he takes it as nagging now. He'll thank you for it in years to come. Give their all just for a while more. Perseverance! 加油!!

Talk to Mr Sham, he won't be so cruel. There was a JH2 who didn't make it too, eventually Mr Sham still promoted the child to JH3, just that the child has to do fewer subjects. Even though Njc is our (family member's) alma mater, things are very different now. Imagine writing graded 3-page reflections for most of the assignments...

well, the thing is he did not do well enough for the first set n second set of assessment. The last assessment carries a greater weightage which he must do very well in order to pull up the overall.

he has completed his revision of econs topics covered from day 1 to the second assessment.

told me he has started on chemistry.

physics has been recently outsourced n he said he understands better now.

maths :nailbite: teacher said he must practise more questions.

he cant perform well under exams.
all teachers complimented his ability to grasp concepts fast n active class participation.

got 仙丹?

LC,


any good news from NJC?

Hi Jennifer,

LC DC1 has done very well. He got 3 balls landed into his court, up to him to choose which ball he desire :
RI (CO), NJC (Waitlist), another IB (CO)

the chance of NJC (Waitlist), converted into a CO, is very high too

I am not sure whether 勉强 promo to next level is the right option.

tmr is the 15th day of the 7th month.

do stay indoors with air purifiers on if your neighbourhood has the burning of prayers, or to wear a face mask when go outdoors.

To be retained is devastating, especially for boys' self-esteem. In order to avoid consolidation, mine studied till 5am (boarding) & was very proud for aceing MA (least favourite subject) eventually, losing out only to the China scholars (who scored full marks, as usual). I find Njc teachers (mostly) very supportive of the academic, behavioural & emotional well-being of the kids, plus the kids revere them... Talk to them.
