If that's the hw for a single day, then obviously it's overwhelming. That's double the load of what I can accept as reasonable in a single day, even for a P4. Imho, turbo-charging should only be done start of P6 at the earliest.lizhi:
[quote=\"Mummy58\"]Her P4 dd’s homework yesterday: 10 pages of 习字, 2 thick stacks of Maths, 1 stack of Science worksheet and 10 over pages of English worksheet. And this happens almost every day. Even her P1 dd has tons of homework (Her home yesterday: 13 pages of 汉语拼音 worksheet plus 5 pages of English worksheet ). The girls have been working till 10+ almost every night since school reopen.
Can share which sch is that?[/quote]A neighbourhood school giving this amount of homework ? This is crazy ! :x When my son was in P4 last year, he wasn't given that much, although there was something to be done for all 4 subjects plus art. However, he did have more hw on Fridays and eve of public holidays. -

But I saw a newly opened one at BP Plaza. Last yr a daddy whose ds aced PSLE advised me that for enrichment, the relationship between student and teacher is most impt. I think what he is trying to tell me that we've to trial & error until we find the right one for our kids (which may not be right for other kids). -

Yes. NEED to return to teacher the next day. And she always tell me how lucky my dd is who has almost no homework (at least during P1 & 2). -

My daughter at P1 doesn't have homework either...everyday I will ask her and she told me the work is completed in school.
Have a friend whose son studied at River Valley Pri (Sec 1 now)...tons of Maths worksheets everyday and they are due the next day. Fridays even worse. Don't know if still the same now. -

For class format, apart from teachers, cirriculum is just as important.
Finally .. parents involvement . .the most important

I read from this forum that TLL has Science which can boost grades to A*.
That’s amazing but it’s proven.
