Think it was brought about by online gaming. š set a time, play together, no absentee online..
Just curious, pre-COVID were the boys \"early adopters\" and already using Zoom/Google Meet to do all of the group assignments/project work? Or did they previously stay back in school and/or meet up on the weekend to do the work? So far, I rarely see them staying after school to work on things. All of them prefer to head home and then have a video call later. Not sure either way is better, just wondering if this is a change brought about by COVID. -
Hi parents,
I have queries on the notes used by the students for exam preparation. My son is in Sec2 and did not do well for certain subjects e.g. Science, Geography
1) Do they use the notes prepared by themselves or borrow from their friends? My son told me some of his friends borrowed from others.
2) I understand from my son that the textbook does not cover certain topics taught. How do the students get more comprehensive notes from these topics? I noted that some are selling notes on Carousell. Any ideas if any of you have bought and these notes help or not?
3) Thought of getting him a tutor too. Any recommendation for a private one or small group tutor?
Thank you! -
In Upper Sec, does the number of non-examinable classes decline? Or, is the 2nd Math, 2nd Science, and 2nd Humanities all on top of what they are doing in Sec 1-2? Understand that in general the days/hours are longer in Upper Sec but wondering if any other time is freed up during the school day.

Math will be counted as 2 academic units (i.e. count twice when computing MSG) and only needed to take one test for both E and A Math, but I recall my Sec 4 EOY was an exception where we had separate E Math and A Math papers. -

Thanks a lot. -
Wonder if anyone who can recommend a good Chinese tutor or small group tuition for my boy who is currently sec 2 in HCI?

HCI seems to be doing well in maths and science competitions for the past 2 years, on par with RI and better than NUS high?
