All About Careless Children
-
jedamum,
Wah, a MIL who can’t cook! Your future DILs would be delighted… cos you won’t be commenting on their culinary skills (or lack of). -
My kiddo lost 4 points in his maths, 1 point in his Chinese & 0.5 in his English SA1 recently due to carelessness too.
What I intend to do during this holiday is to print out test papers with answers all writen on it. Some answers will be delibrately written wrongly and I will ask him to spot the mistakes.
Hopefully using this method, he will approach 'checking paper' in a different mind set and adopt it during his future tests/exams....

Wow, clever boy, and the marker quite strict. Errrrrr.....you have not answer my question, do they have oral exam and composition? Coz it's quite difficult to get close to a hundred marks for language like what your kiddo did, only minus 0.5 marks, that's amazing for language exams. That means he scored full marks for oral and also compo, very good results indeed! -
How to we help student who know how to do the problem sum, but they tend to make mistake on calculation. eg addition or multipulcation on the number?

Hi Jedamum,
Thanks a lot. I will read it. -
Hi
My child is very careless in his work. Lately, the number of careless mistakes in the practice papers (done in school) have caused him to loose alot of marks.
AM worrried for him as he will be sitting for his PSLE this year.
Any parent here has any advice on how to help him? — we have been reminding him to check his work and be focussed while on any assignment/task/exam paper. Besides just being careful & focussed, how can we as parents help ?
Thanks .

one of most important help : don’t scold and shout
use psycho like : be fair to yourself, losing marks is not fair to you … most kids care about marks
