Hi Ladies,

The thread which I’ve started is called ‘Preparation for PSLE 2012’…it is the continuation of our kiasu-ness into next year.

BTW, can anyone advise if there will be more classes in secondary schools to meet the demand since our kids born in ‘dragon’ year ?

I dare not prepare for PSLE CL yet...struggling with P5 Chinese at the moment...thank goodness he dropped HCL. Didn't expect Comprehension to be so tough.

Hi Ladies,

Very soon, we can 'graduate' from this thread and move to 'Preparing for P6 2012'. Before that, I am going to take 7 days to relax. From preparation of orals and compo...my shoulders are aching. Next week, intensive revision. Told my son we need to ramp up now that Paper I is done, he told me, 'Cannot.' I asked him why not. He told me, 'Because we are not cars, so we cannot ramp up.'

[Chenonceau]

Teeheehee! Meanwhile, DS and I are ramping down. His teacher asked him to fill out a planning schedule and because he isn’t allowed to study now, he put the word "Relax" in every box. His Teacher was very shocked. His friends were shocked too.


We’re just weird.

Janet,

Your son is so cute!!

I’ve been very busy at work, so DD is all on her own.
Inside, I feel very worried and anxious, but I try my best to hide from her and just be a cheerleader.

Some days, I’m OK, others I’m a wreck. Coz I’ve never been this "hands off" ever and am not sure it’s the right thing to do… only the results will tell.

Just cannot understand why the freaking FT is till giving a lot of homework on the day before an exam!!

All mums (and dads), hang in there!!

I was a complete wreck last weekend...so :frustrated: and torn between preparation of Oral/Compo and Paper 2. Hubby told me to let go and not distract him from Oral/Compo first. So I told son, 'read your compo books...memorize 开头，结尾 and told him NO UFO or aliens please'. Then I added, 'You can do it.' :rahrah:
