Since you are a REGULAR here and have already done the litmus test, then your son should be doing fine. He is in P1 right ?

Think I'm more than regular. I'm furniture here.

I'm ok as long as ds manage to get decent scores. I won't fall over myself if he doesn't get those top grades because I feel that what is tested for P1 is very different from what is going to be tested for PSLE.

I know that I'm unable to articulate my reasoning as succintly as I wish. But I subscribe to some of the things Chenonceau wrote in her blog on parenting style. She put it down so well.

I read Chenonceau's blog and the article posted...it's really good.
Sometimes, kids do need to suffer some failures to 'wake' up...but like what she mentioned, not mid-year or final year exams.
Like your boy, my daughter is also in P1. Won't stretch her too much but yet cannot completely relax (even though no CA or SA) bcos foundation has to be built. We do few pages of exercises every night.

Consistent is key then SA will be a breeze.

yes, the GEP prep is started in the first year. The performance of last year PSLE is seen as grandstanding, but it is really very attractive.

For PSLE 2010, they have 108 score above 260
For TLL, do not have the latest figure, but PSLE 2009, they have 275 score above 260.

Interestingly ... Alex (PSLE 2010 Top student) was listed as their students (refering to Mindstretchers), then I also found his name on the TLL Notice board.

But according to newspaper, he did not have any enrichment class. :lol:

Then does it mean these centres pay him to be their poster boy? :roll:

My boy don't want to sign the EL is because of the homework. He said got homework and don't want to do. Lazy boy. Anyone here heard about it?

We decided to sign both, but if got homework just quit EL. As compared to P3, this year almost everyday got homework and plus CCA and TTLT, it is a big jump to my boy.

Same here. Mine quite relunctant for EL and was very happy when the EL crashes with her CCA. Well, if tr cannot change day, then good for her, otw, hehehe...... I like the exposure. If there is too much work, I will reduce her 'mommy' homework.

My ds only got the MA one. Now I have the headache of fetching him back at 3.30 pm every Monday. I wonder if there is any school bus service for it?

my eyes still not opened completely in the early morning, wow... our brother trapwithin writing reflection again....thought that trapwithin must be writing this when he was sleepy....when does he has a ds? his dd already in P2, now then wrote about her dd's first month in P1, too late mah...right?

Thinking to poke our brother trapwithin, I openly my eyes bigger this time....WHAT???? did i read wrongly? was not trapwithin, it was our brother markfch writing reflection.....hey, brother, this is copyrighted...only trapwithin can write reflection....hahahha....

Looks like Trapwithin inadvertently transferred some of his 'reflective' attribute to me, haha. Side track a bit. I found the tt bat cover you wanted at Gallen sports shop @ BT Plaza, 2nd floor. It costs only $5.50. Tempted to buy but then decided to wait for you to buy and pass it to me later.

thanks... i will go and buy that....wait till my dd quit, then i pass it to you...
but surprisingly, she is holding on well....
