Hi Emelyn,

Your son is #15 in his school standard ?
Wow, that’s amazing. If he is mature enough to study on his own, not to ask for tuition other than CL, than I think you can consider.

Hi livewith Vanilla


Good Evening. How you find the topics of circle and speed in P6 ?

I recommend that P6 students next year try out the new Maths title CASCO Maths Tutor 6A and 6B assessment books.

Erm.... neighbourhood school.... so... we try not to be too complacent.

He is those type who rather spend time reading his story books, then study. So, if I give him homework.....he will wait till last hour before I return to complete them....

Anyway... just to share... had a conversation with a fren last night.
Fren's son did badly for Chinese in PSLE despite having many diff Chinese classes. Reason is because the boy switched off during the lessons. So, the lessons didn't help him.

I think DS1 is also capable of doing this, ie, switch off, if he is not interested in attending the class. So, will end up wasting money and time.

So... yeah.... we have decided to stop all his classes except Chinese, as per his request.

Will monitor closely his Term 1 results.

Cheers !

Hi Emelyn

Yes. The kids at this age will have their own thinking and more important is to monitor their performance after the CA1.

I am thinking of sending dd goes for for those Maths/Science workshop/intensrive revision class during the June next year.

I am changing son's CL tutor.
Hubby & I had a discussion last night regarding kids' subjects. He advised me to pass him Maths & Science as these are not my strong subjects...a relief since they are really tougher from P5 onwards.

Kids start to voice their opinions at upper primary...scary for parents like us when they tell us what they want and what they don't. Looks like teenager stage is another phase to learn from experienced parents.

Hi Brenda,

Yes yes. That's my plan too. If you know of good classes of such nature, do share with me.

Thanks in advance.
