how many tuition classes + enrichment classes in a wk?
-
My dd has weekly Maths tuition and piano lesson. I stopped her swimming lessons after she obtain her bronze. For me, can swim is good enough.
She said her friend who has tuition in all 4 subjects plus swimming, piano and violin \"very poor thing\". But her friend ace in all her subject lor, unlike my dd :).
I think at the end of the day, it boils down to child and parents' expectations. Every family is different. -

yes. and also depends on parent's pocket how deep

my boy has Eng and Chinese. we try to limit not more than 2 at the moment (last time was swimming and Chinese, after we drop swimming, we picked up English) as he is only in 'mid'-primary (and also no :moneyflies: la). no time also as he does not want weekdays afterschool lessons.

My eldest ds has english and chinese tuition. As for enrichment it is swimming and piano.

P2 DS1 has weekly piano & swimming. Just stopped his wushu after grading, in anticipation of him busier w CCA next yr. No tuition, no assessment book.
-
Math and sci tution only for my children. Prefer to let DH teach them swimming as it helps bond children and father.

Currently dd is taking drama, arts and cello. Intend to stop drama & arts in Nov. On top of external enrichments, she has CCA and Maths training in school.
After SA1, embark on temporary tuition for every subject. Chinese for compo only. Trying out tuition the last couple of months as dd said she would like to compare external centers versus my half past six 'I also don't know, you go read up more' way of coaching.
Already stopped Chinese compo class in end Aug. Stopping Maths this week & will be stopping the remaining 2 sujects by end of this month.

Nothing to stop me from declaring \"I'm not cooking/washing/cleaning\" today. Nothing to stop me from taking care of the kids when they r sick. Nothing to stop me from bringing them out whenever I feel like it. :evil: -
DD1 Violin (for aesthetic reasons & enjoyment)
DD2 None
The children are managaging. We are managing.
Everything from house chores to home-study is a shared responsibility.
So no tutor.. no maid.. no other fees... yet.
It is all worth it. :please:
Seeing our children grow up right is priceless. :love: -
actually i m thinkg, with the race rat so stressful and despite tons of tuitions, the child may still not make it to uni eventually. might as well invest in some skill-related course for them that match their passion n talent and not so bothered with paper chase.
eg they can learn swimming, art, cooking, photography, besides the usual piano ballet. all these can be more fruitful than a pc of academic cert
