my nephew finds RI fun, not too much homework, but more projects. guess he's coping well

Is it really true that there is less homework in RI? My DS is in Yr 1 and he hardly has any homework. But my niece also in Sec 1 in a neighbourhood school is struggling with piles of homework everyday.

I think it is true.

Every time I ask my DS any homework? He said no homework or he has finished his homework in school. haha, so now it is confirmed since 2 of you said so

For this March holiday, only 1 math worksheet, 1 science worksheet, 4 Chinese worksheets and a few group-work projects.

Do RI students have to bring laptop to school most of the time? Do they implement future school like others?

My son is in Year 1 and he has never brought his laptop to school.

Hi Zann,


Year 1s need not bring laptop to school, but they will need one for doing the group projects. My son brought his laptop to his classmate house to do the group projects. He really enjoy doing the group projects.

I think they work and play using the laptop

Hi to all RI parents

My son has just gotten his progressive report and did badly for his HMT Chinese. He is in Sec 1. Would appreciate anyone of you to give good advise to tackle this subject. Thank you very much!

There is an upcoming PTM in April. Suggest you speak to his Chinese teacher, especially if he had been doing well in HMT Chinese in primary school.

Thank you for your advice. Thinking of sending him for tuition. Any good recommendation? He attended Tian Hsia from P5 to P6 but still performed just above the borderline.

There is a RI thread. U might want to start all RI related discussion in that thread.
