lauren:
whether the school prepares the kid or not depends on how 'good' or kiasu is the school. some schools assume kids go tuition and leave it to them, i believe.
I think it would show in the cohort's performance, and the p5/p6 teachers are generally very \"on\" and would keep students that perform poorly for extra coaching, etc. Or if the whole class does poorly, the teacher would hold supplementary classes for the whole class as well. Of course if that class does well, then no need, lah. -

It is a newspaper for school kids.what is 'what's up‘？
thot reader digest is for adults?
We introduced reader's digest in lower primary, Newsweek in upper primary and The Economist in secondary school. It is important to have an understanding of current global issues.

My son's EL teacher uses this newspaper for Spelling as well as getting them to find the meanings of tough words.

Yup i am sure it is possible. Just have the right attitude and mindset, everything is achievable!Quintessential Mum:
Yes Yes Yes!!!! If you make sure that they have a good foundation in their core subjects from the start, it is possible!
I refrained from jumping on the bandwagon and giving my DD tuition! It worked out fine for her - 4Astars at PSLE! One exception is Ch as my DH and I do not speak/write/read the language at all. Other than that, no tuition for Eng/Maths/Science. I do not want my DD to rely on tuition as i prefer her to set out her own study schedule, develop good study habits, learn to make her own notes, identify her own weak areas and look for ways to overcome it etc. She needs to develop these thinking and decision making skills now and it will be useful for later in life. :lol:
How about no tuition and no help from parents? Just rely on the school to prepare them for PSLE .... can excel too, I hope! -

However, it depends on how proactive the school is in helping to prepare the students for the psle..
In my children's primary school, the teachers even went to the extent of preparing them for the oral...they had oral practice for ten weeks
I am truly grateful to them! -
wow. so gd. i realised even in the same sch, it depends on which teacher ur child get. some teachers are lousy even if in a top sch
i thot just get them read the straits times or new paper can already -
I think it is possible too…and it depends on the expectation of "make it"
