Agreed. IJJ, My Gal, just like your dd, Does ALL her Revision Plan herself, Very Little Interference from Mummy since Young. Only Seek Help when Got Problems.

You all are so lucky.

Mine (thank goodness) is very independent when it comes to homework. She will automatically do all her homework on her own and only consults me when in doubt... and I do not check her homework at all.

BUT when homework is done, that's where she tends to slack by playing or watching tv, only recently, she's starting to love reading... I've got to nag at her to do her assessments and after doing 1 or 2 pages, she says she's tired and wants a break.

I wonder what I should do to make her sit still for at least 1 hour to concentrate on her studies.

That's the difference between girls and some boys who are mature.
My daughter in P1 will automatically take out her work while son is still playing.
For my son, I've hands-off his homework since P4...if he doesn't get them done, he is the one facing teacher. If there are mistakes, his teacher will know and correct him.

Hi Funx3,

Supplementary lessons should not have continued this week for P5...trying to breathe normally and go easy on myself. This week should be NO homework to allow kids to revise. Maths teacher told class to do 10 problem sums from activity book but parents to mark as she has no time. I told son to do what he can as I need his attention for Science last night.

As I walked him to school just now, he told me whole class flunked Eng mock paper. Teacher told them vocab, synthesis & comprehension OE pulled them down. I'll just do what I can these few days.

My Gal Told Me Her EL T Was Really Angry with the Whole Class for Getting Bet 50+ to 70+ for the Mock Paper Last Week.

Always Optimistic, She Told Me, \" I Compare My Marks With the Classmate Sitting In Front, Behind, On My Left and On My Right ....
And .... I Got Higher Marks than ALL of Them! So I Should Be Alright ....\"
Ha Ha ....


She's Fortunate (Or Unfortunate?) that These Kids R Scoring 50+ range .... (She's Always Getting an In-Bet' Kind of Score .... Yeah She's in the 60+ Range!)

Anyway T is Expecting 80+ to 90+ for the Class ....
In that Sense, I Guess the Whole Class Flunk in her Eyes! :roll: :roll:

Guess She'll Have More Work On Her Hand, since according to My Gal, their Class has Been a Pretty Happy-Go-Lucky since Way Back in P3 ....
:roll: :roll:

My views too... Yes, she's ok in terms of homework.. the only thing that irritates me is her inability to be driven to study and do revision.

Hey Funx3, it's good that your DD is optimistic and positive. This is a very important trait that will help her as she goes along in life...

Hey, do u all notice that most of the 'good' examples parents given here are MOSTLY referring to their dd? Sadly, most boys are just not the same, they are NOT 'automatic' ... If I don't plan the timetable for him and force him to adhere to it, I am sure he will still be at the stage where he only finished HW by 11pm, let alone revision ...


I did suggest to dh to try to let go in this CA1, but the thought that ds will fail his CA1, yet DOESN'T WAKE UP in SA1 or any other exam is SO REAL, that we decided not to take the chance ...

Fathers here pls comment - were u all like that when young? and how did you guys pull through? Was there really a 'wake-up', 'realization' stage that you went through?

DH mentioned he was also a last min guy during his time, but at least he has a plan .. and the work was definitely much more manageable then. So that conclusion is still - every child is different!

And poor mummy, continues to vomit blood during every exam .. fortunately I do have a DD too, and so far, so good .. will aim for the let-go tactic slowly .. actually, she is the one who volunteers to plan her own timetable ..

YES ! Agree, seems majority 'auto-gear' gender referring to DD more than DS.

Again DH comments is 'take it easy, hopefully things will fall into places...'
Being parents, we try our bests to guide. Well for mummy is more like nag though... :spank:

My ds plays computer games daily for an hr or so. Half the time he'll stop automatically when the alloted time is up. The other half I've to nag for 5 min before he stops playing.

He does his daily piano practice w/o prompting, and will also pick up mags like Young Scientist and 好朋友 to read on his own. But for other things like doing assessment exercises, I will have to probe him on a daily basis. I guess nobody really likes doing assessments, especially if old dad will give daggered looks when careless mistakes are found :lol: .
