I hv gone through my boy’s CL written paper and the essay. He took for granted the section on summarise the passage that the number of boxes are all for use, did not read the instructions to keep to 30 characters, plus did not mention the key word "HOUSEHOLD CHORES, COOKING", hence zero/10. He could hv passed that paper :x


Then for the essay, he was totally out of point, so zero/70.

Luckily he took it in his strides.

After reading his essay, I felt happy becos his style has improved greatly. If the content matches the topic title, I am sure he would hv passed very well.

Now does anyone know what happen when the student failed a subject? The personal mentor has not replied my email leh.

Has anyone reviewed and assessed the CL OE compreh qn & ans? I did that last night.


Could not understand why my boy’s ans could not be accepted in q1 part b "why did the author pay up $3 for the plate of fried eggs in the end?" My boy wrote "the author did not want the son to be unhappy." Supposed to include the model ans "he loves his son and he does not want to lose face." But where in the passage did the "lose face" hint come from? I cant find it. If anyone sees the phrase that hinted at this, pls let me know. And "dun want the son to be unhappy" not equal to "love his son"?

I think some parts of the passage is cheem. From a simple sentence "It’s just an egg, not an ostrich egg", the student is supposed to interpret it as it is an ordinary egg, nothing extraordinary to warrant a price tag of $3.

There is another qn sth like "what happened in the process of teaching his son how top fry egg?" I hv the same ans as my boy, just describe the messy process. But why need to mention "the author starts first with one egg, then let the son does the 2nd egg"?

I feel that the CL HOD should review with the students how answering OE compreh shld be done. Only by understanding what’s required, can the student perform up to the marking scheme expectations.

I would be writing an email to the CL HOD to request a meeting. The Class CL teacher still has not replied my email.

yes, a rule may be broken here.
But I don't think this one warrants a death sentence.
OK, maybe teachers apply certain guidelines for marking essays.
But I don't like this one

I was told a teacher at Whitley Sec Sch also applied such marking scheme- once out of point, slap with a zero. No room for negotiation.

One consolation- this is just year 1. Take it as a learning process. Now we are concerned what's going to happen as he has failed this subject. No one from sch replied me yet :roll: Too busy with Open House???

I heard from my boy there is a remedial class. Maybe he will b selected for it this round???
