Copying the compo? I was still thinking of putting my child in their writing tool class but this feedback put a stop to it because I never feel this is a good way of improving one's compo, yet many teachers are doing it. Definitely not the riight way but it may suit those very slow learners which may help in the long run. JMHO.

Hi,


If you are to decide only 1 MS centre in the west (location is not a deciding factor) based on structure of program and quality of teachers, which one will you vote for:

a. Bukit Batok
b. Choa Chu Kang
c. Clementi
d. Yew Tee
e. Jurong

Please state the reason why you choose the above.

:idea:

Any feedback on Mindstretcher’s GEP prep class? I called them up recently and the fee is $280 for 4 lessons for 1 subject (Eng or Maths). If sign up both Eng and Maths that will be $500. Anyone has tried?

Hi


Anyone who has experience with Mind Strectcher?

My boy is in P1 this Year, I have placed with with Kumon for the past 2 months... I realised that Kumon method doesn't suit him and he find bored doing the worksheets. So I intend to look for another Math tution/enrichment class before he Hates this subject.

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : :?

Just signed my K1 boy for the phonics class in MS. Main reason is it’s walking distance so even if I am not around it’s easy for my wife to bring him there. Hopefully not too late to start him. Will be getting him into Tien Tsia next door too.
