My gal told me, her EL tr walked into the class, pointing her own face and told the class, \"I have 'NOT HAPPY\" written on my face.\" A few in the class joked that they did not see the words. She told the class, whoever scored below 65 is considered 'Failed'.

i think not only kids and parents stress.... teachers stress too....hahaha....

Teachers will definitely be stressed, that's their KPI (Key Performance Indicators).
A lot of them are very dedicated and find job satisfaction through the kids result. It is a great sense of achievement if their kids do well.[/quote]Ya agree. DD's teacher told the class she expected only 1 to get Band 2 for Maths, but in the end around 4 got Band 2... Oops, talking about KPI... :lol: :lol:

I think it is not just a PH problem. Chicken and egg issues again, I guess. I think, ultimately, we, as parents are the ones who can make the difference in our children's life. Its our principles that we have to stand firm on.

My gal thanked me the other day because I did not enforce that she must have tuition classes. Well, of course, it is both ways. I told her if she can prove to me that she is dependable, then I will let her be. I believe she was and still is. It is the depth that she needs some guidance, I believe.

It just went through my head...if setting tough CA1 papers is the scare tactic from the school to make the students gear up for SAs, then, if I continue to choose not to load her with any tuition, then I must be prepared that she may even be the 包尾的 in her class even if her scores do not drop. I think I am ok with it. Shall discuss with her.

Scare Tactic Or Not ....
I Still Maintain the Same Gauge for My Gal ....

No Dropping in Class Position, No Dropping Below Avg Score for Class = No Meddling from Mummy ....
So Far, She Has Not Disappointed Me ....

So IJJ, U Must Have Faith in Your Gal Too ....

[quote=\"E3\"]Serious!! I am not very optimistic for her CL lah...I am prepared for this subject to go downhill as she progresses to upper primary...

Like giving 'discounts' as each year progress..
P1 -10%..P2 - 20%..P3 - 30%..etc.... cannot any more discounts come PSLE ...

Yup. Something like that. :D[/quote]For CL, the compre already takes up 30% with 2 passages! I cannot imagine how DD will fare for her CL too.

Last yr P3 cohort, the top child in CL was a local. Considering there were quite a few China nationals, I think it was amazing.

Hi, can anyone advise how long it takes for Scholastic, UK to deliver their books to us? I ordered the Horrible Mega Pack on 27 Feb (Sunday) and DD is quite excited to receive those books.


Thank you.

Yeah It's A Definite Feat Indeed!

But Somehow in Later Years, at Upper Primary and Beyond ....
These PRC Kids Get Better, Aside From CL / HCL (Their Native Tongue, Of Course!), Other Subjects also Showing Improved Grades over the Locals (considering that ALL other subjects R in English).

OR ....
Is It a Further Injection of a NEW Batch of PRC Kids? For If They DO Not Have Good Showing of GOOD Results, They Will Not Gain Admittance to PH, Right?
