[quote=\"Brenda10\"]For us, after some hard work last year and thing is getting more smooth and easier this year

I wonder if the real hard work comes in P5 or P6...all I do know is there is no life. Maybe I still enjoy some peace and quiet when both kids are in school, but mentally I don't feel relaxed.

Hi Janet
Like Oral test for CL and EL for this year, I saw dd brought back those worksheet and also understand from her the teacher has spent some time last week and this week going through the key components.

Like for CL Oral, since they had already finished the 6A book quite earier, the teacher turn to focus more on oral.

So don't worry too much as you still have sufficient time. :hugs:[/quote]Thanks for your assurance...honestly, I hope my son's school will be spending time to ramp up the kids for PSLE...till now, I am rather pissed with son's FT as she doesn't encourage the kids to be pro-active...she tells them to 'shhh' :x

I am holding on to that thought, and talking to my son... right now, we don't see the light at end of tunnel, but knowing that it's there and we will soon see it is something that encourages both of us.

We will persevere.

Hi Janet

Think all school would do the same thing when they are in P6 lah.

Last year, my nephew's school also have prepared them too.

Like EL, school will also start given worksheets by batches on training specific components like S&T, Grammer, fill in the bland etc

So ignore the FT teacher's comments and just encourage your ds to move on.

I told son that...forget about what she said, keep quiet and talk only when necessary...it's very disappointing that his FT is so discouraging. Can only hope and pray his P6 teachers are more motivating.

Dear Janet

Try to forget this incidenet lah. I use to tell the child takes it as a passing cloud whenever recd any bad comments. The person may already forgotton what they had done and we should also throw it behind us.

Let's be happy and move on. :hugs:

Hi Brenda,

What upsets me is the teacher always tells the kids to shut up. Is this behaviour acceptable when kids ask her something ?
Since nothing can be done, just have to move on.

So many pages of argument and counter argument from insider and chenonceau :shock: No time to even read, need to prepare DS for SA1. Hopefully will read liesurely after SA1. :imanisland:

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeze dun waste time reading it. It wasn't at all educational or helpful to anyone... and I made an undignified spectacle of myself right through.The only thing I am proud of was the apology and that was at the end. I should actually have apologized earlier.

Now, can we go back to goofing around? I need to goof around with someone 'cos I am still stressed by SA1.

The brighter side of things though... is that I have made it to Brown Belt. That's a little closer to Grandmaster :lol: .

Don't be so hard on yourself. It's OK to let down your hair once in a while.
