Hi Periwinkle,

I saw that book you mentioned...green cover. But didn't have the energy to continue glancing at more books after standing for so long. Will look at it the next time. Thanks.

E3,
You will definitely need more reference books but no worries, we are all here to share. I told my son about your gal's fantastic result for her Eng compo and he was shocked. :!:

according to my son's teacher in p3, it is almost impossible to get full mark in compo from p3 onwards.

Yup, according to my child, usually highest score around 16/17 out of 20. This SA1, the highest in her class is 16/20. Jennifer's son scored 17, right? Tat's job well done!!

Thanks, dyh! She loves to write. She usually gets not-bad grade for CL compo too, but this time she flunked as she could not understand 3rd pic. Felt quite sayang. But, well, a good lesson learnt.

Ytd, I was chatting with some P5 girls, although a few of you have mentioned abt P5 maths earlier on, I was still in shock when the girls told me tat the cohort avg this SA1 for Maths was only 44. One kid in CH failed and abt 10 failure in Gr and in following classes, almost all failed. Even if a child scores 49, above cohort avg, its still quite demoralising to fail the subject. Its an overkill if the motive for setting such high std is to make the kids work harder. I hope the school will do something abt this and will be more sensitive/concern of the consequences it will bring about. Anyone knows, is this the first time of such massive failure in PH?

I better kaypo write an email to my elder boy's MA teacher and ask her how this has happened. If she replies, I will update here.

I am surprised. Now should I let him know abt this? In case, his head gets bigger. As at now, he is already less willing to practise MA and revise EL this hols becos he feels he is already good :x

:lol: :lol: But the fact is, he is really good.

I asked mine to practise compo thruout this month, she also negotiated with me. Now, she did not even start with any tat she has committed. The only committment she fulfilled was book reading, she finished the no. of books she supposed to read for the entire month. Other than tat...I am still waiting. :lol: Usually I 'asked' for more so tat there are allowances for her to nego. Still, actual vs planned, always a discrepancy.

I dug up my elder boy's P5 SA1 stats for MA:

Highest cohort 95 (highest CH 95)
Avg cohort 56 (avg CH 81)
