dd still spending alot of time (to me even sacrificing her sleeping hours) on laptop online learning (she needs the laptop for checking of meaning of words & also to listen to songs). Trying to take away her laptop seems to be sooo difficult. She was sad with her results, told me she will listen to me and admitted the online materials were not enough..but 2 days later went back old ways..it crosses my mind to load her more so that she doesn't have time to use her laptop..but will I make her browsing through only but not reading properly or will I ended up loading her too much that result in stress

Yes I feel our kids have the same problem. Make resolutions but don’t materialise. Can’t imagine how to survive secondary school with much heavier workload.

when I pack her stuffs, I find her filing is really bad ..school notes everywhere..for many, school/tuition notes are very precious, revise before exam..but mine almost never. Me too, am beginning to worry for her secondary studies also. Sometimes I will think what jobs can dont need follow up arh..

Mrs Kiasu, to be honest, it sounds like letting her do online learning by herself isn't really working. It'll be interesting to know how much 'learning' is actually going on. I find that kids may have the best of intentions, but they are still kids, most of them are easily distracted, and it's very easy to start youtubing while on a 'break', and before you know it, an hour, two hours have passed, and they're still on youtube. Not saying this is what your girl is doing, but it's a slippery slope.

Using physical books and notes is better, as writing, highlighting etc aids in learning, whereas if they're just reading something online, it's hard to know how much is being absorbed.

Thanks tryourbest for the images of the typical question 33 note writing.

MrsKiasu, if note writing is switched to question 40, then yes, it usually replaces the OE compre question which tests the student about moral/lesson learnt from the story

question 33 becoming an OE compre type of question:

I get what you mean Fried chicken.. aiyo, she has gone through that stage last year when first got hold of her laptop.. but now while searching for songs, I bet she will get pulled to read news etc..that's what I told her too..and also when you listen to those 'robotic' delivery of lessons also very slow mah I told her..if read from books she would have finished much earlier..still same..

ok, I got to take it away from her again or ask her to do her online work outside the room.. 3 more weeks :nailbite:

Note writing as question 33 is typically more straight forward - just need to retrieve information from the graphic.
