      Hi, all:


      My girl entered RGS this year.
      In the primary, I clearly knew her academic status & could guide her up to PSLE.
      However, now, I am puzzled about her academic. Is it enough only based on homework? Does the extra tuition necessary, or some extra test papers for exams? I saw her quite busy all days but seems not many academic efforts.

      Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

        Tuitions are not necessary if your girl is self motivated and disciplined enough to do all her homework and supplementary work and clarify any doubts she has with the teachers. There are quite a lot of exam papers available on inet that they can do. Not aware of any extra test papers or assessments books you can buy that caters to their curriculum which is quite different from the mainstream

                  Not from inet but usually teachers will go through in class after they complete their work.

                    How many hours of sleep do your girls get during weekdays?


                    Since the start of year 3, I think mine could only sleep 5.30-6 hours max each day.

                        Actually, are students in other secondary schools as busy as our girls? When I see my girl works thru every weekends since school re-opens, so poor thing, no time to rest and relax…
