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.

My son did badly for his HMT too, 59 marks only. Yours?

I went to Popular to buy a Chinese assessment, he got more than 50% wrong for Cloze passage and I tried to go through the correct answers with him. I realised then that the meaning of the words were so close that even I dont know what the correct answer was. A shame that I score A in A level Chinese, albeit more than 10 years ago.

Hi Barbie88


After reading your post, I just want to share how to learn and improve Chinese. As most of the students in Singapore speak English in their family and they seldom talk w friends in Chinese, so parents and teachers should make more chances for them to practise Chinese. I do it to my DD.

(1) Buy a few Chinese supplementary exercises books from Popular. Get my DD to do it one unit per day. (Saturday and Sunday are rest days or just for revision.) Actually, the questions are not many in one unit. I check and explain the answers to my DD.

(2) Once my DD gets wrong answer, after explaination, I will write the vocab in a log book and make a sentence with that vocab. Since, the meaning of some vocab is quite similar, you have to use the vocab to make sentence, so that they can differinate the vocabs.

(3) Ask them to do revision on Sat or Sun. Don’t acculmate the vocabs, otherwise, they will feel stree.

I think the above is the one of ways to learn language.

Hope it is helpful.
