Ok, will see whether I still hold the same view come end next year.
Let us know how you feel abt this issue at end of P1.
I adopted a DIY attitude when my #2 was in P1. No tuition, no coaching from me. Really DIY himself. Results were not bottom kind. In fact I was proud of him as he did it all by himself. Then the sch report book came back with a slip of paper showing the statistics of the cohort. I fainted. His so-called non-bottom results (which were low band 1 and high band 2) were just ard the sch avg.
Dun let this enbloc P1 to P2 makes you go easy. An easy going attitude once formed inside a child is going to be very hard to change once the going gets tough (meaning P2 to P3 onwards).
In view that so many PH parents are flashing the amber light at me, :idea: I think I better make myself clearer. Even with en-bloc, of course I'll still cajole ds to read lots of books esp. chinese ones & increase his general knowledge. Just that I won't be too concerned with his sch's textbooks or fall over myself with his exams results during P1. It's a bit like kindy, just let ds learn but won't fret over the test marks. Must keep it that way till P2, cos we must conserve energy for 5 more years of slogging to go. -

Yup, at the rate this crouching tigress is going, she is ready to spring into action next year, jumps on all her preys and moves up to the top class in P4!!E3:

ohhh!! all subjects got 96 for SA2, very good!! crouching tiger is here!! :lol: :lol:
Happy Mama, your dd and you can do it! All the best!!
Wa, after hearing all these, I become more stressed for next year...
I hope she will improve but getting into top class may be a challenge... Will try hard! :xedfingers:

Yeah, Every Year PH \"CONTRIBUTE\" about 10 to 20 P3 Top Students to GEP school, TO HELP them Maintain Top 10 School Status ....
Excellent for a non-GEP school to be ahead of the other 3 GEP schools in ranking. PHPPS can be easily be top 5 if given GEP status.php:
[quote=\"Trapwithin\"]Was just looking at the KSP Academic Ranking for 2010.
PHPPS has once again done well.
It climbs from Rank 8 to Rank 7 in 2010.
Once again, it has shown its potential by being the only non-GEP School in Top 10.
Kudos to all Students, Teachers and Parents.
The P has done well too.
:udawoman: :udaman:
Ha-Ha ....
:lol: :lol:[/quote]The P3 \"Contribution\" makes it even harder because the good ones take their PSLE in \"GEP Sch\". So the fact that after \"losing\" the good ones, they are still able to maintain the Top 10 is very commendable. -

Hi markfch, when my kid was in K, i said something similar as you and could not understand why Spore parents are so KS. but after entering PH, i still got trapped into this competitive pressure.. the environment rubs into you. well, that's why we are in KS forum now? :lol:[/quote]It is like a Whirlpool .. you will get suck in.markfch:
[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]Actually I would say PH parents can hardly relax...given the competitiveness of the kids and pressure from the principal to PERFORM
Who says parents cannot relax :lol: ? From P1 to P2 I intend to relax. I'll just teach ds whatever I feel like teaching him under the sun, regardless of the syllabi. Will only follow the syllabi from P2 onwards cos by then got streaming mah.

Guess what...i only received my p3 son's letter on class posting yesterday. We called on 16/12 when we still didn't receive it. PH said to let them know again on 17/12 if still no letter. So we called on 17/12 again and they promptly sent a new one. We received the new letter on 20/12 (stamp dated 17/12). Then yesterday we received the first letter with stamp dated 10/12! I wonder where did the first letter go during the last 12 days. :lol:
Classic example that SingPost longer able to fulfil next day delviery as they claim. I have observe this trend in the last few years. -
Happy Mama:
But it was a little late, cos SA1 results pulled my DD down eventhough she got 96 all subjects for SA2. :stupid:
Your girl is an all rounder. That's very good. :celebrate: -

yup, checked the first page just now, found the parents named in \"mummy\", their kids are definately in the same level, belong to P3. hehehelizhi, you can checked out the first page... there is a list of PHPPS parents in this forum and you will know which level their kids are in....
you can go \"marketing\" together with E3 since both the dd are in the same class. you can also invite happy mama along, her dd's class is just next to your dd's class...haha...
i am already familiar with E3 and Happy mama these few days.. :celebrate:
