Coping well in GEP without much enrichment.

I'm impressed, Neko. :celebrate:

Hi Neko,
Just curious, do you coach your dd in her studies (except chinese)? and your dd is all on her own? Will like to encourage some parents that this is possible without parent coaching and enrichment/tuition.

coach as in teach ? --> no (heh heh, I don't hv much patience!). if there is anythg she is not sure of, she'll approach her teachers for assistance. they are always very willing to help. her sch teachers also identify students who need extra help for remedial lessons. with teachers' support, most kids shd be able to cope. however, if a child is struggling over a period of time then I suppose tuition can be considered. it all depends on each child's needs/expectations.

dd & I do come up with revision schedule together nearer to exams. but she studies on her own (making notes, doing & marking past yr exam papers).[/quote]Thanks Neko for replying. It is good to hear that your dd can cope so well on her own and she has such wonderful teachers and support system. :rahrah: to her school!

It helps that dd sets very realistic targets and is aware of her strengths and weaknesses. She is not amongst the top students but is happy with what she achieves.

And yes, her school/teachers/classmates are really wonderful! she's already lamenting how much she'll miss the school in future.

Last year PSLE top scorer is Rosyth GEP student. He joined Mind Stretcher Learning Centre High Achiever class in Serangoon (meant for GEP student).

I saw Alex's name in last year TLL's graduate lists.

ya, alex also atended tll. Iread it in the tll advertisement in the business time.

So he attended both TLL and MS? That's a lot of tuition. Or maybe he attended just one semester and the tuition centres are quickly jumping on the bandwagon to claim him as their student.

And ALex Tan is listed in the Han Language centre promotional materials too.

The one who is really the gifted one and seems to need no tuition is his classmate Sheldon (amazing that he has diploma in piano and violin, achieved \"O\" Level A for Maths and Additional Maths, and is actually 1 year younger than his peer!). I really hats off :salute: to this one.
