      Brenda,


      Not true lah, this is the worst subject in the whole cohort.Teacher also cannot help.

      All seek external help.

      cheers

        The bosses of tuition/enrichment centres are laughing all their way to the banks. We parents have to work harder to support their business.

          [quote=\"Leanne\"]Hi Brenda,

          Not at all.I guess that is for some reasons they are doing it.

          Hi Leanne

          Perhaps your ds class overall has done very well in this subject lah.

          As for dd, seems that they are increasing the lesson and also have few lessons need to go to Science lab.

          [/quote]I also think that Science is the least taught and least emphasized subject in school. My son does not fare well in the open ended session. In fact, only 1 boy managed to scored A* in this SA1 in the whole cohort. Wonder if this is the same in other schools?

            You mean section b?
            Yes, dd is struggling with section b too. She doesnt really know how to answer the questions \"properly\".

              True. In fact I observe one of the center has increased their price for the workshop after good comments by the parent.

                Yes, he can normally manage to score around 30 for section B. He is either missing some key words or misinterprets the questions and lose precious marks.

                  Hi Brenda,


                  Sci is actually a very alive subject.

                  DS is better off in section b than mcq.Two mistake in mcq this time.Book work kind of questions.He doesnt memorise, that is why he dislike reading text or guide book cos its super dry.He loves reading outside the text.

                  For section B, I would think its a soft skill that is required in this section.To be able to understand the sci concept and apply in the real life.


                  Cheers

                    In reality, the school teachers should be the best persons for the job, leh. Aren't they worried? *sigh*.

                        Must ask my boss for a pay rise...


                        On several occasions in recent years, I have been contacted by parents in July/August asking whether I can lift their children from 50%/60% (SA1) to 91+% in the forthcoming PSLE English Papers. I am always brutally honest and say that although I am a miracle worker my miracles usually need at least six months' notice. :rotflmao:
