CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh)

Hi PlatypusMeowMeow,

It didn’t occur to me that you’re a student in IJ TP. You must be feeling the stress now. Do remember to take short breaks and drink lots of water.

I have a son in P5 this year. It’s really difficult this year.
Neighbour’s son (in P6) said comprehension cloze is tough…I agree with that. Will start son on P6 Cloze assessment book when school reopens…enough of heart attacks since CA1.

Hi janet_lee,


Yes, P5 is difficult because they prepare the students for PSLE next year

The first hurdle or depth at P3 was shocking...fortunately, we managed to recover. Since the beginning of this year, I've yet to recover from the shock of seeing son's results drop so badly for Eng, Chinese and Math (he flunked twice, CA1/SA1). Can you advise any way to improve ?

Your advice is definitely appreciated. Thanks.

It was really :yikes: at P3 & P5. So unreasonable :siao: . I was really sad when I recieved my P3 (&P5) grades.

Anyway, maybe you can try asking your son's teacher for advice. I'm not an expert at this

UNFORTUNATELY, my son's teachers are not very forthcoming with advice. I've had near-clashes with his form teacher :mad:
Just before his CA1, I asked her what will be tested for Science...she didn't reply me. So I asked again and got a sickening reply from her. Apparently, I am not the only parent who got sh!@ from her. My son told me NEVER to ask her anything again.

Aiyo, so unreasonable. Even though I haven't encountered anyone like that, sometimes I really resent schoolteachers for that. :mad: There's totally, TOTALLY nothing wrong with asking those questions. You should report this to the school principal. :stompfeet:

Hi PlatypusMeowMeow,

Forget about the principal...no better. :censored:

I'm very happy IJ TP principal is warm and approachable. She is also willing to lend a listening ear to parents.

I totally agree. Mrs Tan is very warm and motherly. However, she still drives me crazy. :razz:

Wow. Are the teachers in ur son's school so :clubmyself: ?

Yes, I experienced a 'school culture shock' since beginning of this year.
Daughter's teachers and principal are so likeable while those in son's school are the exact opposite...except his Chinese teacher.

OMG, then it must be very difficult.
