Anglo-Chinese School (Primary)

Many thanks to Esteema and Zac's Mum for the sharing.


I guess I am now less \"worried\" over the \"no homework\" after hearing what you all have shared. I guess I have to establish a routine to manage the \"free-time\".

Zac's Mum, I am not looking at the very rigourous type of schools. Some rigour is good enough to stretch the kid. I dare not take my chance on the popular schools in Phase 2C

For student care, my friend told me her son's school (within the vicinity) does not allow student care teachers to coach homework! Reason being, these teachers may not teach the way school has wanted.
There are people who also told me that they prefer not to send lower Pri kids to student care centres because they may pick up bad habits from the older kids. There is really no best of both worlds! Unless parents are at home to supervise, coach, I do not see how the home caregivers can take the role of disciplinarian and coach. But at least now I learnt that we can always give DS assessment books to do!

Grateful on the sharing. I will think them through. Many thanks!

Hi Floppy, I can apply under Phase 2B.

No. More homework in P5 not amounting to GEP. I am still keeping in contact with parents (then) when DS1 was out of ACSJ. Likewise P5 at ACSJ, also have alot of homework. I believe at P5, the school step up because P5 the workload and component testing are the same as P6.


What sort of school are you comparing with ACS? I can't comment much with other schools but I do know NYPS because I am an alumni at NYPS. Comparing between ACS and NYPS homework.... . Pointless to compare as well. Boys and Girls learn thing differently. Each has its own pros and cons.

How do I sustain interest to learn in class? Boys .....what do you think? They just want to complete fast fast and then go and play or do the things they want. Nah. I don't do much except to remind them. Work with the teachers. Check with the teachers whether do your child has classroom management issue. Resolve this issue (if any) and everything will fall into place.

pros and cons on after school care. It depends on the environment. For me, I don’t like the ideas of having student care teachers to coach the homework especially if the student care teachers are not inline with the school teachers. Hence result in different teaching methodology and ended up confusion. Poor child.


Maybe I am old school. I still very much think that it is parents job to do the coaching at home. But in today time, it may not be so easy for some family. I prefer to take charge of my child’s learning phase. Knowing the child weakness and strength goes a long way. So sometime no choice, mummies have to wear different hats. Sacrifice a lot of me-time for the child.
