I agree. It's the PARENTS who feel the stress FIRST! I am not so worried if it's English, but for Chinese. . .SIGH. .. .markfch:

A neighbour complained to me that her grandson had to do 6 little story booklets for Chinese from last week till Oct. Poor Nai Nai as she is the main caregiver. It will be poor us next year. -

Kinda scary hor. Dunno if I'm over-thinking, over-worrying and giving myself premature stress over HCL. On the bright side, we still have 3+ months to enjoy till P1 next year & go for holiday during sch term time :boogie:

I beg to differ for Funx3. She is enjoying herself, well, at least is keeping her cool very very well, especially for the achievements from her dd
It's good to have such people around to 'balance' us, otherwise we will go crazy :siao:
This thread will soon go into dormant mood as the you-know-what dates are looming .... Mark will have to 唱独角戏,
. Oh, forget, Funx3 can be 100% relax even before our P2-5 students start their paper 1 ... so good ... -

You can retire a rich tai-tai, Funx3; unlike me, who must make sure I've my own nest for old age.Joyfulhands:
For my ds, I noticed that the Chinese homework alone is more than everything else combined. Much more. :yikes:

Thus it'll be good for future P1ers to go in with a strong foundation in Chinese already, so that they can spend less time working on those homework as the foundation is there. There are lots of show & tell for things like 古诗, 儿歌 so kids who speak Mandarin at home will have a big advantage.
We folks shouldn't be complaining; we have it easy already. They used to have CA & SA at P1 and class streaming for P2 classes. Phew!JRLam:
Yalor, Funx3 can be so relax. Wonder who is taking over from the L-F club leadership come 2012?This thread will soon go into dormant mood as the you-know-what dates are looming .... Mark will have to 唱独角戏,

It was mentioned in ST about teachers in ACS who write hw on board so that students don’t get overloaded. My daughter has quite a bit of this weekend…creative writing, 2 sets of CL worksheets, compre MCQ, math and other corrections.
Funx3 can relax from 5 Oct…next year after son’s PSLE, I don’t even get to enjoy until end Oct.
