So my dd's class a bit behind 'schedule' har? :? [/quote]Just on time, the other teachers are too fast :lol:
[quote]Receive the report book and review papers today, i wonder if all classes have the same papers?[/quote]I think all should be the same paper. My DS 'confuse' me again, he did have a Maths review afterall.
The report book has grades just inform that progress...even then I think this is really insufficient . The progress report should have more comments though. :roll:

I agree....some schools have the MTP session this week, but we don't :? So we don't get to speak with the teachers about the progress till term 3?

My DS also today have distributed the Report Book & all the unit reviews had been retured for parent's signature.

I wish RMPS would be like that. Maybe, the school is expecting us to take initiative to approach the teachers and talk to them more. All of us are so busy...by hvg a PTM, we will all be 'forced' to find time to meet with teachers to talk.

Actually, personally, I prefer more quantitative feedback about my son’s performance, rather than what is written. However, I can understand why the school has done it the way it is. It is too premature to group the pupils based on the unit reviews. Some may do well on certain topics but weak on others. Through these unit reviews, we, as parents, will know which areas our children at weak at, and work on these areas.


Actually, if you have any question on your child’s performance, you should just write to the teacher, rather than wait for the PTM. We just had the PTM in March, and hence, it is understandable why the school doesn’t hold any PTM until September. The purpose for holding in March (I think) is to update parents how well adapted the children are to the primary school lives.

I think it is a good idea to hold the PTM in September because by then we will be able to know the areas our children are weak in, and we know which areas we should brush them up on in preparation for the final year exam. If anyone is anxious to know this now, I am sure the form teachers will be let you know if you ask them. In short, just write to the teachers.

I know of some parents who don't even bother to attend the PTM.

Usually have to take time off from work just to attend the “PTM”. Guess it is always better to have constant communication with the teacher. By the way should we email the teacher based on their listed email by MOE or the lead portal email?

I usually write to my son's form teacher via the e-mail address found in the website.

No problem! Actually, I think it also depends on our children's luck which teachers have been assigned to them.

So far, my son's teachers have been very responsive. Maybe my son is lucky that he has these teachers.
