Dilemma - to work extremely hard or to relax?

[24hr-mum]

maybe just focus on those skills he will get to learn at work in future, eg language

Thanks for your input. May I know where I can get the book you recommended?


Will have to talk to my DS on his preference

Happy Chinese New Year!

my friend passed me that book but i think its sold in popular bkshop.

that bk is based on old psle syllabus but the content is still valid in terms of the emotional and other aspects of the preparation

The best way for your child to improve Chinese, under such circumstances, is to communicate in Chinese with anyone who is able to understand the language. Otherwise, there is a number of tuition centers offer June holiday workshops.


Encourage your child to go to the library each recess and read more advanced Chinese novels or newspapers. That’s another way.

HappyFaye,


I can relate to this.

DD is also in P5 and has been doing consistently well (P1 to 4) thru regular revision.

We also made time-table etc for her… but there is simply too much homework so no time to revise!

Homework, to me, is not helping her at all. AND the jump from P4 to P5 is big… all the more she would like to revise her weak areas but how to when homework takes most of the time.

I do not want her to be stay up late after completing her tons of homework. Her health comes first. Yes, even if it means her grades will be affected.

I have come to term with it - it is ok to have not-so good grade for a while. After all, PSLE is just one of the many exams. I hope I won't regret later on

I think I'm not going to be too bothered with my ds2 psle scores in future. After bugging ds1 and everything, I realise that no matter how you do in primary sch, you still get promoted to a sec sch. It is then in sec sch that will decide your path in future.

So as long as my ds2 can do well enough to go to the express stream, I think I'll be happy already. Then I'll pump in tuition for him at Sec 2.

Cos for my ds1, even though he did relatively well, he still 'almost die' in Sec 1 and I still have to find ways to help him. And it's only term 1!
