what updates you want? We are all parents likewise what. ;0 Have something to discuss or announce, then just write, lor.... Then surely have more \"noise\".

Wonderful thing is that term ends next Thursday!!!


How has everyone’s kids been doing? How do your kids find the math? My boy has always been good at math, but he’s been getting rather discouraged with it of late.

It also appears that quite a number of the kids have tuition for Chinese, Math, and even science … I wonder what type of lesson structure though. Bc they seem to go to tuition centers and not have private tutors. My son has no tuition except for Chinese.

Everytime we ask him how's he coping, he wld say ok lor. Heard from him last week MA test is not easy but he expects himself to do ok like in 80%. Today is LA and French test. Next week Sc test. Now every week has a test?

My boy also only CL tuition. Dun know if he knows who has tuition in other subjects.

He did feedback that EL is getting more difficult this term. Guess poetry is a relatively new topic plus requires a lot of analysis. Not sth the kids hv exposure in the past. Btw he did not do well in the first poem recital- teacher's comment was : not enough emotion in delivery.

My boy enjoys the poetry which is interesting. he got full marks for the recitation.

i keep my ears/eyes very open and know that some of the kids have tuition for math - even those in the accelerated classes. makes me wonder if i should be so ks to have my boy have math tuition too, but during term time, he's way too busy.

It has been busy weeks for the kids as there are few group projects to complete concurrently as well as subjects test. My dd has been sleeping late and attending group work over weekends.
Heard from dd her teacher mentioned that today's LA test will be tough. For MA test she did not have enough time to complete the paper. Hope for the best

The way i see them doing projects.... so very amusing. They converse by msn/messenger, and then prepare different parts of the document on their own, and then share the document via email for other members of the group to edit, and then print out, then they quickly *chiong* to put it together in school the next day. :roll:
