Hi Dion,

Some form of pressure is required to push forward...but after that peak line, too much pressure will work against the child/adult. This is the advise repeated by my doctor.

My son is rather bochap even though SA2 (year end exam) is just next month. Yours truly here is more stressed to see him like this.

How true!

I can feel my child's stress now. She is, for the first time, gearing up herself. Now, I advocate that she does not take it too hard on herself as long as she is trying her best. I play either way (kick start her or calm her down) to help her balance. I hope I can cheer her on to motivate her interest in learning, yet not to view studying as the entire part of her life. IYKWIM.

Hi janet_lee88.

So is your son competitive in school?

Mine is very bo chap in K1 now. She is always the last to hand up her homework because she is too involved with chatting, looking, day-dreaming etc..argh! She needs alot of encouragement & attention from us to do her work.

K1 .. she is still young.
Child at this age changes very fast.
Certain thing you thought they are not capable of .. in 3 months time, they start to show sign that they can do all that stuff.

So relax .. just cultivate good reading habits.

As for your place, it is definitely beyond 2 km of PHPPS.
Historically, Phase 2C you will not stand a chance.
PV or transfer after P1 are good options.

I know someone, also resides more than 2 km, placed her daughter's name right after phase 2B balloting, first on waitlist. Her daughter got in right before school reopens in Jan. Chances not high, but no harm trying.

Hi IJJ,
Does it helps if I visit the school personally? Will they entertain us?

My son is bochap and needs to be nagged to get work done. Even if he does his work, he does so because he has to...doesn't put in much effort.


Gal in K2 is more responsible though. She has homework from kindy every Fri. After bath and lunch, she will take her work out to do. Same goes for her work from RC every Sat. Very different. We hope she will continue with this when she goes to P1 next yr.
