Any positive feedback on Lit? I have less than 36 hours to persuade my daughter to do Lit not geography. Everyone says she should take Lit but she won't believe them. She is an avid reader and an amazing writer.

My daughter took Lit in upper sec and enjoyed it. But I think that it really doesn't work to persuade a child too hard to take any subject. They need to feel it's their choice. If she is an avid reader, then she isn't missing out much as she will continue to read and write on her own time. I took Geog and it's always been a pet subject of mine, so I can't say anything negative about it!

We took a long time to decide to take Geography.


Literature was the original 1st choice but we found the upper sec literature books used by the school weren’t what my kid likes. So it then became a choice between History and Geography. We then went to Popular to look at O level ten year series. And we found Geography exam to be more “appealing” and interesting… so it was Geography in the end …

So is it really need 60 marks to get promoted ?

I am not sure...emailed her form teacher because I couldn't take the suspense any longer.
he told me she will be promoted as she passed 6 subjects. I didn't ask anymore since I am so relieved.

secondary school is really no joke...even Art has preparation work and not just bring materials and sit for the exam :faint:
she started revision in late August for final year exam so that she has extra time for weak topics/subjects. it's crazy planning a revision schedule.

:congrats: Janet!

I'm sure your girl is proud of this achievement. You've been so supportive helping her. All of your sweat materialized with promotion. :udawoman: Must relax & treat yourself well now. I sensed u we're feeling down last couple of days?

I was feeling under the weather myself & taken aback at how much chats I've to catch up this thread, MKS & ME TIME threads!

thanks lego.

this year really added A LOT OF OIL.
she cleared all her humanities subjects but flunked Math & Science.
hubby said he will need to ramp up this year end holiday.

She worked hard and got her reward, I think she (and yr family) will be more motivated to work on the math and sciences now.

yes, time flies. I still rem she talked about the psle, seemed just recent

[janet88]

:thankyou: ladies.

I can't believe how fast time flies (even faster than the 4 months since I moved).
not too long ago, I was still stressed over her PSLE...sec 1 zoomed past without me realising. maybe because there are 8 subjects to handle, so time passes faster since I'm busier. next year she will be in sec 3 :shock:
hubby is still upset she flunked math and science...so he told her this year end holiday will be spent ramping her foundation, much to her dismay. to make things worse, POA is compulsory...so she has math, physics/chem + POA :faint:
she needs to work very hard.
