sweetbaby:
Can a school insist student drop HMT if results at P5 say just a pass?
Unless there are special reasons (e.g. his/her MT results somehow seriously deteriorated (both SA1 and SA2), they won't. The subject teacher will have a say in this (as is the recommendation of students for taking foundation subjects) so the child's attitude and general progress will also be taken into consideration, on top of the exam results.

Everyday I walk for at least 4 kilometers. It takes a lot of will power at the beginning, but becomes routine after a while. I’ve been at it for almost half a year. The same thing happens in studying. It may seem cruel to ‘force’ a child to study everday to the uninitiated, but for people who have been doing it it is just part of life that becomes the child. Sometimes I wished for someone older than me to have crafted the idea earlier to be taught to me, but I feel that discovering the method myself is part of the process. It may seem cruel to the uninitiated… it may not work for everyone… but it works for me.

Can I ask a qn? Other than extra pts for psle for hcl, is there something else HCL got extra privileges when say like applying for things going into sec 1 or anything else? Otherwise why is everyone so insistent on doing HCL at p6? No offence to anyone but I just really want to know more. My kid is in p5 doing HCL also but really thinking hard now whether to continue at p6…

Parents would most likely standby for the children nice cushion running shoes, cool dri fit attires,cold 100plus and wet towels at the end of 4km mark. -

As long as it is daily 4-7km a day, it doesn't matter what parents do. Those nice things will disappear after 3-4 times, trust me. Lol. -

It's like asking what's the extra benefit of taking A Math when E Math is sufficient in the calculation of L1R5 or L1R2B2. There isn't a course in Poly or Uni that has A Math as a pre-requisite (E Math is generally sufficient). Or pure science, when sub science contributes the same score for the same grade.
At the end of the day, there's no point in taking many of the given subjects if the consideration is only about the 'extra' benefits. In any case, the real benefit of languages is in the user's ability to use it - maybe not now, maybe 10, 20 years down the road (assuming he hasn't lose it). -

Ok I get what u mean. Its always better to score well for 4 subjects rather than risk scoring only ok becos of extra burden. -
As results start trickling in, any one planned out their holiday revision schedule? Depends on results?
