DD2 in K2 has this book call \"WORD BANK\" book where the kid is required to write all the words they know for certain alphabet. For eg, \"A\" she has to write Aeroplane, Apple, August...etc....


Not only has to write but to draw the pic! The kid is expected to write at least 25 words so that mean 25 pics. She will finish writing the word but by then she will be a bit tired and :snooze: and grouchy. So, mummy - has to confess - helps with the drawing and coloring. I hate to draw but in order for her to submit her h/w, I hape to push myself to do it!

You're kidding ? K2 has to write 25 words ? That's asking a lot :siao:
My daughter had to draw and colour the picture matching the CL character in the first half of this year. She didn't mind doing the writing part, but not the drawing. I hate to draw too...bcos my chicken and duck looks the same :oops: my 'best' is drawing an apple.

Yes, Janet - 25 words + drawings! :faint: :faint:

So, I literally has to take out the Dictionary and help her if she can't come out with the 25 words for that certain alphabet.

For a K2 child I think I would have just told the teacher it was too much or done as much as she could then left it and written a note to the teacher. They aren't going to punish them at that age....sometimes we are too scared to question teachers. We are the parents and we do have rights, especially in K2 when you are paying a lot of money!

My DD in nursery, they need to do scrab book.The T never say how many.Sometimes, rare to find pictures for some alphabet.Then I paste one pic or draw 1 picture.This has no marks.My DD that time she didn’t know more words and I can’t push her to learn.They have to paste and read the words in the school.That time I draw for her cos she doesn’t know how to draw.Then I teach her how to draw the pictures.Then she slowly learned.We can guide them how to do and help them depend on their age.Better way is teach them how to do,but we can’t teach in an emergency situation.They need sometime to learn.

My son in P3.He had a music project.He did by himself.He didn’t ask any help from me.He researched by himself.He do with his two other friends.

The principals are afraid to be blamed for not preparing kids for P1, so they literally drill the K2s. :siao:
Last year, my daughter's 听写 was even tougher than P1 level :stompfeet: she had to learn 8 词语, which is equivalent to 16 个字.
I didn't want to push her too much or she would be afraid of P1. Older son also attended the same kindy and he told me quietly the principal has gone nuts :rotflmao:
