[quote=\"janet_lee88\"] Can you imagine I used only 1 Chinese assessment book from Jan to Dec ? Now, I need at least 3. :stupid:

Yes, agree during our time - I think I used only 1 assessment book from Jan to Dec but now with DD1 - at least 3 (excluding guide books) for each subject. It's not being Kiasu or Kiasi but really to grasp the different concept in the different books :D.

It's nothing to do with being kiasu or kiasi...it's required bcos some assessment books do not test all the necessary sections found in exam papers. Half of my $600 from govt definitely going to Popular liao...but must control.[/quote]Aiyo during my time, mom Nv buy any assessm Bks 4 me cos she truly believe sch can teach me all I need to noe
As long as no red marks shown in my report card, she's ok liao. :lol:

Hi Chenonceau,

I read your blog on your child's chinese language learning journey with interest. Interestingly, in one of your entry, you wrote:
FLAW FOUR
Grandma worked harder than Little Boy. If a student is to learn more, the Teacher must teach less.

Perhaps that is what MOE is trying to achieve? :lol:

Teh-oh, we have been discussing the idea is good and sound but the implementation is not sound, making a joke of this concept in the end, that's all.. If well implemented, this is definitely better than spoon- feeding style... But before we teach kids to fish, we must still teach the how-to fish even if we don't want to bring fishes to them. GWIM?
