      Hi Phankao,

      How do you help the kids with their homework / home practice? I guess it's inevitable to hire a CL tuition teacher...
      They have a tutor. So far, not throughout primary school. Dd only had tutor for the 6 mths before her O-level chinese, and CL tuition from p4-p6. Ds1 had CL tuition from p1-p6 tho. He has CL tuition now in sec 1 and taking HCL(not his choice - compulsory).

      Ds2 doesn't want tuition and he's the only one continuing to take HCL in p5.

        I guess, it's the same with other subjects pa. At least i can teach them other subjects (if my short fuse permit).
