Hi Thanks for sharing. But that is still kind of sitting down to me... My girl does not really need my help when it comes to her homework. It is just that I have to constantly remind her not to take her own sweet time and also check and make sure she finishes all in time. I actually just found out over weekend that she missed out quite some online assignments...and worse, some entries have been closed!! When these things happened, I do feel the pressure and the stress. Anyway, my dream of breezing through P1 has been shattered. With that, I mean I thought she would have lots of own time doing things she likes , drawing, reading....outing....mummies....
i do not to sit down with her to do her homework. she does her homework, while i read my book. No one turns on the tv. i wan her to learn hw to tackle her qns.... she comes to me only when she has problems..... i will only check after she completed
initially, she is quite reluctant... but gradually she understands tat i cant be sitting all the time..... n if she refuses to complete her homework, she will have to answer herself to the teacher, not me..... i cross my fingers too:SS
No comments on school food though. We pack our own food. -
Same here, I am still packing home bread and a small pack of milo or soy milk for his recess.

based on my observations, p2 is tough for chinese. once you get through p1, the foundation is built and it gets easier for p2. just hang in there. english and maths not tough if child can follow the daily lessons.
jiayou. -
sorry, meant to say its tougher for p1 kids for the chinese subject…

No worries. Poi Ching is a good school, teachers super responsible, most Kids as I can see coping well. Just that do not expect a lot of free time or play time.Hi Parents!
I need to register my child for Pri 1 in 2012. I wish to find out how is your child coping with the homework in Poi Ching? Is the scheme really work on them?
As my child still young and he seem to be lazy to do homework, i just worry too much homework, will have negative impact, of course maybe i worry too much.
I just hope that parents here will give me some advice. Thanks.
:lol:
oh yes, send your DS or DD to some Chinese enrichment program if u are not Chinese speaking family if need be. That may help.

I feel that it all depends on the child on whether there is ‘many homework’ or need to sit beside him to do homework at home.
In term 1, my DS1 has hardly any homework bec he can finish his work in the class. I hardly see any of his chinese and math activity books and didn’t know what he had done then. But my DS2&3 have homework everyday bec either they can’t finish the work in class or have corrections.
Now in term 2, the teacher seems to progress faster than term 1 and many times, there is no time to do the activity books in class. I thot the speed that the sch cover YunYu is too fast - so fast that there is no time to do the YunYu activity book in class! So now, even my DS1 has homework lor!
A sharing of my workload…
Everyday, I must go thru my DS3 bag to DEDUCE what homework/corrections he has. It is a MUST for me to sit beside my DS2&3 so that they do their work. But I only need to get my DS1 to sit down to start his engine without distraction. Once engine started, I can leave him alone.
So, my 5cent worth of conclusion… it is not which sch suit my child but what kind of child do I have. -
Haha interesting observation and good point indeed.

please advise what are the student care centers nearby poi ching?
please share your experience with these student care.
thanks -
Just to give my 2 cents worth as a primary school teacher of many years. Dear parents, spending at least half an hour with your DS or DD in packing his/her bag and going through all the books in his/her bag is vital in the first 3-4 years as this shows that you are 1) interested in your child’s learning in school, and 2)keeping an eye on how disciplined your child is (e.g. is your child spending excess pocket money on unnecessary toys at the bookstore?)
Children are children afterall. If you are a busy working mother or father and only browse through the bag once in a blue moon, the child will soon learn that they can hide their homework or become sloppy in their learning attitude because you "would not find out anyway". Children love to be praised and noticed when they do certain things wel, e.g. writing down their homework neatly in the communication book. Enjoy the parenting journey!
