      Chinese teachers in PC are very strict with marking, have to make every stroke very clear, whether itโ€™s writing chinese characters or pinyin.

            AS is remedial for the weaker students. The teachers will usu go through the concepts and give them extra worksheets to do. Useful for the kids as it's very important to have a good foundation, treat it as free tuition ๐Ÿ™‚

            Hi Freeasias, any idea about how the lessons would be conducted and how many students per class? Do you have more info on the AS?

                  Some schools even stricter than PC. The t in HYPY must curl up. The q cannot have the tick after the vertical stroke.

                        In upp pri, AS conducted by the kid's own subject teacher. The class size depends on no. of students in the class that needs AS. The selection may not be based on the test alone, could also be based on the kid's performance in his assignments.
