Hi Rio,
Did her teacher raise any concern in terms of ur DD’s grade? If not, i guess no need to be so stressed now? Below 90%, so it’s 80%+? Is it really way below the class avg?
I guess a lot of parents prefer to have such reports. A lot are worried if there’s no exam til P3, then won’t it be too late to know our kids’ std.
I guess all kids hate to be nagged by us to do their hmwork. Next yr my nitemare starts! -
Don worry.it is just a guide so the teacher knows where his standard is.

My DD got 89% for higher Chinese. Teacher only consider her average in her class n standard. Teacher says if dun work harder, might drop further. Ask me if financially ok n if time permit, encourage her to go for extra lessons. Faint…She already taking lessons in English, maths, swimming, dancing, really dunno where to slot the time for one more enrichment. Somemore the Chinese school that the teacher recommends is not near our place, really thinking hard what I should do next
-
Language is very different from math. I guess the teacher is worried as next term what they are learning is getting more difficult. It needs good foundation.
-
wow, 89% consider below avg. i thot it’s not bad! do u mind to share where is the chinese school her teacher recommended?
-
I don know where the teacher recommend but I sent my child to jiang education at bugis. It is a 3 hour class. I think the school helped him a lot. He started out from only can speaks and now he can read and write.
-
oh, i think this jiang education quite famous. my friend’s gal in St Nicks also attending the chinese lesson there.

Hi,
The Chinese teacher highly recommend Story Island. It’s at Taman Jurong. I went to take a look, they teach n introduce Chinese thru stories. No drilling of homework, guess their aim is to cultivate love for the language. Once u like the language, learning of it will come easier. My girl likes it, but I m still thinking if this is a good approach to learning Chinese.
Always21, can share your child’s experience at Jiang? -
Jiang has a lot of homework but the Lesson is pretty fun. I think the child has to be vocal to enjoy the class. Each class has about 12 pupil. Therefore if too quiet might lose out

It is strange that the teachers should be encouraging tuition instead of helping the kids themselves. I remember when DD was in P4 and did quite badly for her English Compo, I suggested to the English teacher that I should send her for writing classes. The teacher offered to give her extra lessons after class to help her in her essays. I think the teachers these days just conveniently push their responsibilities to tutors and that is why our kids are so stressed from excessive tuition.
Yellowbelt, which level is your DD in?
